Who would you have liked to see win a Sandow

Hey I was just wondering who everyone thought should've or should someday win a Sandow at the Olympia. I know the guys that i thought should have won are Flex Wheeler because his body was crazy for awhile. And also I would have liked to see Lee Priest win in his prime because that guy is a monster which i think is more impressive because he is so short. Hit up this discussion with who you think never won but should have or who you think should win in the near future. Give explanations for why if you can or if you just like them alot thats cool too.

Kevin Levrone should have won one. One of the true greatest BB'ers to ever live. Not only was his shoulder and tricep development incredible, but his waist was tight and ripped. he is my top for guys who deserved a sandow.

Gotta go with Kevin Levrone, he competed for soo long and 4 runner ups.. I think he also holds the best IFBB record. I would have really liked to see him win one. Hopefully he can make his way into some decent movies.

Yeah, Kevin Levrone comes to mind. His upper body is on par with any BB'er ever. Shawn Ray and Flex Wheeler too.

For past Olympias, Mike Mentzer really should've won in 1980.

Flex Wheeler. his condition and size is very impressive and he has some of the best guns in the world, Kevin Levrone. need i say anymore? this bloke has got it all, Mike Mentzer should have won 1980 Mr. O and everyone knows it, Shawn Ray because his conditioning and shape is spectacular, Vince Taylor im not sure if he won an Olympia but if he did then he deserves another one lol, if Lee Priest could if he improves his chest and other parts and he still has a chance while he still competes if he makes mega improvements soon coz he must be getting old, Phil Hill could have been a potential winner had he stayed longer.
i rekon the Olympia stage is making way for people like Dexter and Victor though.

and maybe Mike Matzaro (dunno how to spell his last name)

**kenney** · 11-27-2006, 02:57 PM

flex,kevin and markus ruhl...he is a monster and has great potential imo.also dexter jackson...he is a modern day flex and has maybe the best aesthetics of bbing today

i agree with you on dexter jackson i think that it is only a matter of time.

**AlteredBeast** · 11-27-2006, 04:33 PM

Everyone has thrown in every name that should've won one in my opinion...I also would have liked to see Paul Dillet and Rich Gaspari nab one. In the future I could see Victor Nabbing a few, Phil nabbing a few, and toney freeman getting one. Also, keep a eye on Silvio Samuel, Desmond miller, and Dennis wolf. All of these guys have huge potential. A few ametuers coming up the ranks I see getting pro cards would include; James"flex"Lewis, Evan Centopani, and would love to see Grigori Atoyan get his too!

I dont think so bro, i think if it would have happened for him it would have by now. With his 4th place spot in the olympia, i dont know how things are looking up for him. Victor has surpassed him, and with heath entering the arnold this coming year, his chances are getting slimmer by the minute. His ace in the hole was his symmetry and conditioning(never his size), but now we have some guys demonstrating equal conditioning and on par symmetry with more size. He will fall into the category of one of the best ever, who never won the olympia. Just as well, I dont think he demonstrates true olympian presence like some of the others mentioned that didnt get it either.

victor martinez. big guy with good shape. phil heath as well, same deal. Old school, defenitly Metzner.

bigunit · 11-28-2006, 06:23 AM

kevin levrone all the way
