Definitely no clear cut winner this year especially since we don't know what the final lineup will be, could be a couple of surprise competitors who show up trying to claim the Sandow. Phillip is looking very good for being this far out of the O I'm sure he hasn't made up his decision yet on whether or not he will compete at this years Olympia but it seems he is trying to see what he looks like first, if he decides to compete then it means the previous issue is solved and he's ready to take his title back if that's the case then I have him winning it. Brandon has the look that the IFBB is trying to promote, he has almost everything, size, fullness, roundness, good symmetry and proportions now even the lower half has nearly caught up to his upper body and he also has that freaky wow factor, doesn't really have any bad shots either he looks good in all of them, condition needs to be 5-10% better to be at his best with a little muscle added in some areas like the glutes and hamstrings. William is probably the most consistent of the names mentioned and is also probably the most complete along with Phillip, thick, dense, full, hard, 3D and separated, very dangerous but he need to be 100% not 95% or lower otherwise his height and frame will be exposed and he will lack that wow factor. Ramo, my God where do I even begin...this probably deserves a thread of it's own, he hasn't look his best since his pro debut at the 2013 New York Pro, his shape was still very good he just lacked that next level condition, his shape was very good at the 2014 Olympia too when he was working with DJ, he probably should have stayed with him but there was probably so much going on behind the scenes we don't know about, I kind of feel bad for Ramo really...seems like a lot of people took advantage of him, anyways his issues need more than a preps length to be fixed, I think Neil was wise enough to realize this. The current Mr. O Shawn, I won't say much about what's been going on recently for him as I don't want to sound negative towards anyone, I'm sure he will look good at the Olympia and can possibly defend is title depending on who shows up looking like what. Can't forget about the old man, they call him the Blade for a reason, we noticed some signs of slowing down at the Arnold, not even the bicep but what I noticed was when he hit his side chest his signature striations on the side of the quad were not there, could have been due to the training change since he switched coaches, he's back training with Chuck Glass and at his most recent guest posing even though he wasn't in contest condition you can see the side leg striations are back. It's not impossible for him to win again, and at 73 that would make him the oldest man to win it
I have to mention it because why not, I know he hates hearing it since it's mentioned almost as much as when Ramo is going to finally nail it, Cedric, If there was ever a time where he was going to show his full potential now is the time.
