Biggest Mr. O ripoffs of all time

[Paciano42]

I don't know if someone has already covered it but, what do you guys think were the biggest ripoffs of all time in Mr. Olympia history.

Here's my top 3
1. Danny Padilla 1981
2. Mike Mentzer 1980
3. Jay Cutler 2001

I have seen topics that had less to do with bodybuilding than this one.

Though I've been around BB for a while, back in the 80's, all I cared about was who the winner was. Sure I had favorites but didn't think about anyone getting ripped off.

That being said, I agree with #3. RC's physique seemed way to large in some areas.

I'm a huge Yates fan, but in 97 Nasser got ripped. Yates hadn't recovered well enough from recent injury. The reason he won I feel was for two reasons:

1. association with Joe
2. defending 5-time champ

Kevin Levrone definitely should have won one along the way too.

Mike Mentzer was in '78-79'.

I don't remember the year but it was the one where Tom Platz came in looking incredible. The improvements he made to his upper body for once balanced out with his legs and the hardness and conditioning was just dazzling. You could tell he really gave it his all that year. It was do or die for him. He lost due to politics. I think they gave it to Franco that year who probably deserve 5th place if that. I believed Platz retired after that year.

Also, I think Mentzer should have won in 1980.

Who do you think beat Ronnie last year? IMO, no one came close.
