Mr Olympia Predictions???

**tooncesthecat** · July 14th, 2007, 03:01 PM

Does anyone have any thoughts on the upcoming Mr. O? I think Victor Martinez is getting close and this year could be his! I'm still a Dexter jackson fan, but I think he's going to be like Gaspari, close but no cigar! I don't think Ronnie will ever recapture the crown. I personally dont think he deserved the last 3 anyway. Jay could repeat, but we'll just have to wait and see...

Tough one, I too think it will go down between Jay and Victor, but I wouldn't count Ronnie out just yet, he's probably the one who wants it the most.

It's simple. Jay will win it again, because he's bodybuilding's poster-child right now.

Ronnie will never recapture the Sandow. As much as I would've loved to see him win 10 in a row, he's getting too old now (he's already in his mid-40s).

Victor might win next year, but not this year. He's certainly catching up to Jay, in physique and overall popularity.

Sadly, Dexter will never win the Sandow. As much as I would like to see him win one, he's too short.

Some other guys who could possibly put up a good fight for the Sandow: Melvin Anthony and Phil Heath (the future of bodybuilding).

Agree with toon about Ronnie. Jay will keep it this year, and maybe next too. He won't have a 6~7 years run, imo. Dexter look really really good, but the crown goes to the big men these days...

Joker13 is sure to win.

I agree with Insex that Jay is the "poster child" right now. It seems the Weiders like to have dynasties. Just look at the winners of the Sandow and you'll see a what I mean (at least in recent times) I miss the "old days" before Lee Haney when you didn't know who would win. Don't get me wrong, Lee, Dorian and Ronnie are all great but isn't it interesting that these guys beat out some serious competition year in and year out. And they did so against more quality competitors than existed in the 60's and 70's.

Its gonna be a tough one and as much as i love to see jay win, i think ronnie will be able to pull one more out of his magic bag and take one more

Cutler is too good to be just a one time winner, that said id like to see ronnie beat the record and take his ninth this year....do I think he can do it... yeah buddy, however Cutler if he does take second and he could well take first will be the top dog for the next few years. Victor will have to wait till Jay retires cuz Jay is the hardcore guy.

I dont think Cutler has ever been as good as Coleman (including last year) but I'm putting my money on Victor. Hes the next up and coming and its only a matter of time and he'll be Mr. olympia. Ronnie will probably take it this year, but I'm still going with Victor.

I don't like Jay and I am rooting for Ronnie but I don't know. He's supposedly really big I wonder how that'll affect his tone. And the judges seem to be pulling away from mass monsters.
Still if he comes in ridiculous I have to admit I'll get a kick out of it win or lose.
