BIG QUINCY TAYLOR
(yes, I see his leg's are holding a little water, but they beat yours...)
I don't know why people just look over this man. He's amazing, at 6'4" 310lbs COMPETITION weight, ripped to hell... man! Why don't people see this guy as the next Mr. O? Height clearly isn't a problem for him, he comes in hard as rock and ripped up too. I honestly don't understand why people are going nuts over this:

I really don't get that thread at ALL. He's TALL, is that it? Oh, nice triceps, hell yeah, but where's the chest or traps? X-frame? Sure, but nothing compared to QT. If you've ever seen the movie BE COOL with John Travolta, you'll see a couple scenes where Quincy Taylor is playing bodyguard to a rap group called the WMDs. He's SICKLY massive in those scenes, not ripped, but he's just got some mean mass on him, and he's rockin' a nice thick jersey, so it looks clean as hell. I'm not taking anything away from this "Noah" guy, I'm just really not amazed. Look at that wrestler Giant if you want height. He's tall too, not as "ripped" as Noah... but then again neither of them come close to Qunicy.
Ronnie's gonna give it one more run, take a world-record TEN Mr. Olympia titles home and then he'll be done. Jay's done (hopefully, not a big fan of Cutler) and that only leaves a handful of guys left. Personally, I found it funny how people kept comparing Victor to Ronnie and saying "Ohh! Victor might just throw Ronnie this year! Ohh, same with Cormier!!" Anybody remember their places? Top 5? Nope... top 10? Hardly... which leaves only the greats left once Ronnie's done: Taylor, Jackson, Ruhl and Murray. Look at it like this:
Jackson: Small, ripped to hell, moderately big
Ruhl: Big, somewhat ripped, huge
Murray: Small ripped to hell, pretty big
Taylor: Big, ripped to hell, HUGE (the perfect combination of all the attributes)
I'd REALLY like to hear back from you guys on this, because the big discussion amongst the IFBB is who's the next Mr. Olympia and whether or not the Big Gut Regulation will be enforced, which would give all (excluding Ruhl) of my above picks one hell of a shot at winning any IFBB contest they enter. Start the debate, because I think I may have found the real next Mr. O...
