      To be honest I can't really choose out of the three

      But if forced IMO id pick Yates purely for the fact neither Sonbaty or Levrone didn't have what it takes to knock of the champ

      I know this has been discussed many times over, still would like to know your thoughts from these 3 clips

      I see where your coming from

      Defo Sonbaty has him from the front, but imo he kinda fades from the side and defo from the back

      maybe thats why Yates just won that one. Though to be honest I don't really have a trained eye for these things lol

      You just need to not fall for the common cliches when judging a.k.a. the reigning champ blurb and the grainy, granite nonsense.

      Oliva, Arnold, Haney, Yates, Ronnie, Jay, all had good backs, the best in the contest. That's why they had an era of their own, except maybe for Jay lol.

      Ok im going to sound dumb here lol

      Why are most comps decided from the back? What is it about great back development that makes a champ? Its only one area of the the body

      Well it does have the potential for the most variety and detail, and it's essentially half of all the bodyparts viewed from that angle.

      This is a guy with great muscles in the rest of his body and a weaker back:
