4. Shawn Rhoden

Before you go crazy, yes –  we know this one is a bit of the stretch. Sure, many people have compared Rhoden to bodybuilders of the past, but the reality is that the man is far larger than the competitors of the Golden Era. Though many state the Rhoden seems way smaller than his fellow open weight bodybuilders, Shawn Rhoden weighs 240 pounds and stands at 5’10” tall. If he did decide to commit to the new division he’d have to lose a ton of weight, including some muscle, in order to qualify. But if he DID decide to take that plunge, there’s no doubt that he would be a master of the entire Classic Physique division. Unstoppable by nearly every other contender.
