I think Jay Cutler is going to rule for a while, but I think Kevin LeVrone and Ronnie Coleman are under-appreciated. I'm new to all this, but those guys have my respect so far. Gunter is just too bulky, something gets lost when you paint over cedar.

In no particular order: Grimeck, Park, Pearl, Oliva, Columbo, Labrada, and of course, Schwarzenegger.

What!! no-one mentioned the legend Bob Paris!
If you havent seen a pic of bob then throw him name into a search engine and prepare to see the reason i got into bodybuilding......
Bob was pure art in "trunks"
The fact that Bob is gay and is married to a guy called Rod did not stop me appreciating how awesome this guy was......the day i have a body like this guy is the day im a happy man!!!

Paris had incredible symetry, and grace when posing - a statuesque physique, to say the least. It was unfortunate that he came on the scene with such great qualities in a time when the mass monsters started taking over. That is why Labrada kicked so much butt: he perpetuated the same aspects that Paris had, just to the Nth level!

What about the Blond Bomber? Draper had (and still has) an amazing back, a tight little waist and some pretty great guns!

Steve Reeves was pretty awesome. He was all natural wasn't he?

Probably if I had to say current day though i'd go with Lee Priest because his size and shape is just crazy. I know Ronnie is probably bigger but still. Its pretty amazing to me Lee didn't win an Olympia yet (or did he?).

Franco Columbo all the way!! That guys was built like a tank and it wasnt just all empty mass. Ronnie Coleman is the exact opposite, all those steroids made him look all weird..

Sorry to inform oh_rob but Franco most definitly was a juicer though he looked mortal compared to Coleman. Dorien and Flex were just pure ripped mass but my favorite was Nasser El Sonbaty.

Jdelts, do you have alot less respect for bodybuilders that used juice to get where they are instead of doing it naturally?

Talk about putting someone on the spot.LOL I wouldn't say its ALOT less respect. They bust their ass at the gym just as much as the next guy. My question is, would they bust their ass just as much if they were natural? Each person has a different agenda when using juice, but either way, its not natural. Sure they look great and have the strength of an ox, but ask them how their heart, liver and kidneys are doing after a few cycles. Its too much of a long-term risk. That, I'm not jealous of. As I said in my private post to you, I have alot of 'meat-head' friends who abuse the illegal narcotic, so I'm exposed to its effects on a daily basis. I've seen one friend die from it and others have either heart liver or kidney problems. I just don't respect someone's DICISION(not the person) to put their body in that much danger for the sake of looking good or getting that extra edge in sports competition. thats my story.

well the reason i ask is because i do have less respect for people that do it unless its for a career.

Its a cheater way to do it, and in my opinion they DO NOT want to put THE AMOUNT OF TIME IN to do it naturally.

Thats just my opinion and i stand behind it.
