OK, here's your chance to show your prognostication skills. Show us who you think will be in the top 6 at this years Mr. Olympia. Place them in order from the winner to 6th place.

Here goes my top 6...

1. Jay Cutler
2. Victor Martinez
3. Ron Coleman
4. Toney Freeman
5. Dexter Jackson
6. Dennis Wolf

Good luck!

1. jay cutler
2. victor martinez
3. dexter jackson
4. Toney Freeman
5. Ronnie Coleman (sorry prod but no way)
6. Branch Warren

Don't think Wolf has enough placings under his belt for top 6 in the Olympia. maybe top 10. going from 16 last year to 6 is big time.

True, espically only be 28 and a 2nd year pro. But, whether he makes it in the top 6 or not he def deserves to be there if the NY pro was any indication of what he'll bring to the Olympia. Remember Jay went from 8th to 2nd... I see the sam sort o thing happening to Dennis.

yeah and ronnie went from 9th to 1st. truthfully it could be anybody just depends on who brings their best. i could see toney being in 3rd and dex in 4th seeing as the olympia has always kinda been a big man's comp. phil heath might do really good too. we should make some sort of points system like the final four brackets to guess the whole olympia and see who wins or something like that. MaxRep, you think you could get something on the site like that?

1.Jay Cutler
2. Ronnie Coleman
3.Dexter Jackson
4.Victor Martinez
5.Toney Freeman(the highest he will ever be)
6.Wolf
7.Toss Up between Gustavo Badell or Melvin Anthony

I currently don't see why you guys rank Branch Warren so high. Didn't place well in the Colorado Pro.

Although I don't have him in my top 6, I think he will be top 10. He did win the New York Pro show this Spring. Anybody who can win a pro show has got to be considered one of the top guys, certainly top 10 material. I think he loses against the top, most asthetically pleasing guys, like Martinez. But he's someone to be reckoned with, when he's at the very top of his game, as he was in New York.

Perseverance,
Could you explain in more detail what you mean?

Something I am thinking about is seeing if any of the advertisers here might be interested in putting up a product for anyone who can correctly guess the top 6... Admin might need to set that up, we'll see...

Best regards,
MaxRep

well i was just thinking if there was a way to get some sort of contest where you pick the top 10 and just go to a link or something and fill them in. you could get like 5 points for having the person in the right spot, 4 points for 1 placement away, 3 for 2 away, 2 for 3 away, and 1 for 4 way. then like 10 points for picking the winner. 20 for picking the top 3. just brain storming. i think i'd be a lot of fun especially if there was a prize on the line. if not we could still set up some rules and just do it on our own for fun.

The concept sounds good but brain storm so more because the above is a little too complicated.

Make it really simple.

Good work!

How bout this, pick your top 10 in the order you think they will come. You get one point for every one that places top ten (regardless of position) and one for everyone that you guessed the right position for. So if all of the ten people you guessed placed in the top ten (in any order) you get 10 points, and if 5 of the ten were in the correct place you get another 5 points.

If there are a number of people on the same score, it'll go down to who had the closest match to the top three finishers??

Hope that sounds as easy as I think it does..........

Bosnian_Brawler · #14 (**permalink**) 07-03-2007, 04:08 PM

1. Cutler
2. Dexter
3. Martinez
4. Freeman
5. Coleman
6. Wolf

Just my guess based on latest I've seen from Pro's....Now that might change before Olympia starts....

avitom · #15 (**permalink**) 07-03-2007, 06:28 PM

1 Coleman

2 Cutler

3 Martinez

4 Freeman

5 Wolf

6 Heath

i like that idea except how about we do 5 points for every person you have in the top ten and 10 for everyone you have in the right place. that'll hopefully prevent any two people from having the same score without the same picks. if there is a tie, whoever has the closest top 3, if its still tied then whoever has the closest top 5.

you get up until the night before the olympia to make your final picks (so if anyone wants to change their's they can) and then the picks are final. no switching after pre-judging or anything like that. how's that sound to everyone?
