My 5, two from the present, one from the last decade, one from the 90s, one from the 80s

80s: Dona Oliveira: Proportions to die for: broad shoulders and huge arms sitting atop a tiny waist and small hips.
                               Yet she never won a  major show, probably because she wasnt a blonde  :P

90s: Jitka Harazimova -- the complete package -- devastating good looks, magnificently sculpted physique, and she was TALL! I saw
                              her live back in 1999, and gawking at her beauty was like being hit in the chest with a John Cena punch. She
                              never won a major show because she had the misfortune of competing against Kim Chivesky.

2000: Casey Daugherty -- I met her at a show in Florida, my eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when I saw how beautiful she was.
                                          Her physique was impressive too, and she could have gone far had she perservered. Alas she did not :(

Kim Perez -- just an awesome specimen, with an upper body some male bodybuilders might envy. If she can ever bring up her legs
                    to match her upper body, look out.

Angie Salvagno -- there have been some vids circulating of her recently that have her in mind-blowing shape -- huge muscles,
                             great conditioning.

i agree about Jitka Harazimova khuddle. she was really awesome! she should have won some competitions but chizevsky was even better. however, i think she should have placed higher at those contests. (4th at the arnolds in 1997 and 6th at the olympia. then a couple spots lower each successive year.) she should have been 2nd in 1997. her in that green suit in 1997 is an all time classic! she actually wasn't tall khuddle. she is 5'7''. i wish she was taller. the ultimate muscle woman to me is tall. but she is taller than the normal height for women. she does have great genectics. ;D

5'7 isnt tall? I thought the height for an average adult female was around 5'5? Trust me, I've seen in her person, she's tall
-- not gangly, awkward tall either, but statuesque, impressive  tall.

  that's awesome u got to see her in real life. but anyway, 5'7'' isn't tall to me. 5'9'' or more. :D anyway another top 5 underrated for me is jackie paisley (5'10'' 152lbs).  http://saradas.org/index.php?topic=56588.0.html  she was incredible and finished really high at some competitions. she also won the arnolds in 1989 but should have been ms. olympia in '90 and '91. just my opinion.  :D  http://img43.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=24507_Paisley_J_S01_123_156lo.jpg

what about Sandy Riddell? (5'6'' 155lbs) would eveyone call her underrated? i guess it's relative. all time great to me. not top 10 but top 15! she finished really high at some olympias. 2nd at 1989 olympia, maybe should have won and also olympia 1990 when she looked even better. but was disqualified for wearing a thong. lame! she should have been nude.  :D she also finished high at the next two olympias. she should have won at least one!

An impossible list to create. This list could include 100 fbb's. Too many to mention: Michele Maroldo, Fran Ferraro, Vilma Caez, Fatima Johnsons, Danielle Leroy, Pat Veldmann....jeez.....:)

My definition of underrated would be:-

1. Having the physique to win competitions, but never doing so/taking a long time to win, e.g. winning the top amateur competitions to turn pro. Example of this are:-

Annie Rivieccio - she should've won the HW & overall North Americans/USAs many times over the years.  Never seemed to be in favour with the judges (why?) until almost at the end of her career, so she didn't have time to "bed in" as a pro and go on to greater things;
Lora Ottenad (like Annie, always the bridesmaid, [finishing 3rd - 6th annually], never the bride until near the end of her career - again too late to make an impact as a pro)

2. Being short, but having a great physique, but not standing a chance up against the taller women.  Examples:-

Andrulla Blanchette (should've won/done better at pro shows than her shared one-time "win" at the 2000 Ms O. [when not up against Iris at her best directly/Lenda/Kim - separate LW & HW] - almost always got over looked when up against the taller/bigger pros)
Zuzana Korinkova (never seen a better ripped FBB still carrying a decent amount of muscle [for her height/stature])
Sue Price (stunning, great physique)

3. Being too tall/big (5' 4" - 5' 7" & 140 - 160lbs seems to be the most favoured range for the judges):-
Lora Ottenad again (5' 8" or so - big, shapely, well conditioned and still good looking facially at contest time.  Of course, added to that, that low, sexy voice and reputation [negative from a judging standpoint?] for her sexy "session" videos [you know - THAT clip of her "humping" the guy after wrestling him - my all-time fave short clip - never seen the whole video])

4. Others (not already listed):-
Lisa Bavington (my kinda FBB - she had the looks, femininity, size, conditioning and shape - a GREAT advertisement for the sport back in the late 1990s)
Vicki Gates (should've won more, including [at least] the joint 2000 Ms O. when beaten by Valentina Chepigain the HW category)

As has been said, I'm sure there are more....

DonĀ“t forget Tina Lockwood , Janice Ragain and Denise Hoshor.

As much as I love all three (regulars will know that Tina is my all-time fave fbb), I think, perhaps barring Janice, they got the competition placings they deserved.  Tina's weaknesses (that prevented her from placing better in the few national-level amateur contests she entered) were a wide waist/lack of relative chest/back development (with her huge arms and legs, she should've had a chest/back at about the 49-50in mark, rather than 45in max.) and that she couldn't get that really defined look at contest time compared to others.  Whether she would've done better had she "dialled down" the arms & legs, maybe , maybe not.  To be honest, she wasn't around long enough to really call her time in bodybuilding a "career", i.e. she didn't have time to really mature as an athlete - shame.  For her, more of "what could've been".

With Denise, she always did well, competition-wise, even in her short pro career, but again stopped (to have a family) at her height.

Two other I would add to the list:

Nancy Lewis: spectacular proportions -- her shoulder to waist ratio was the stuff of legends. I think
her conditioning was just never quite at the level for her to win a major title.

Brenda Raganot: again, very exciting proportions. Brenda has been in the game for so long we forget
what a spalsh she made when she first came on the scene in the early 90s. Back then, her conditioning
was second to none, and her proportions -- powerfully broad shoulders vs tiny waist, huge muscle bellies
vs ting joints -- were like some Greek Goddess of old. Very underrated athelete.

Tina Lockwood

How is she underrated? She competed for a tiny amount of time in the early 90s, and she is STILL remembered
and revered to this day when countless others are forgotten!

Colette Guimond. No Fbb crowds more massive muscle into her physique.
She exudes power!

I voted for Casey Daugherty, Kim Perez, and Vikki Gates.

But I'd also say that Sheilahe Brown is criminally underrated. Her upper body is the equal of anyone, and her biceps are phenomenal.

Star Blaylock is stunningly beautiful. I think she's retired, though.

As far as the top competitors go, I was surprised to see the lack of Betty Viana fans on this site. For my money she's easily the sexiest woman in the upper echelons of the sport.

Forgot to mention Roberta Tuor-Zazzaron. She also is overloaded with power.

   1. Lindsey Cope -  She has it all !  the look , natural ability to build muscle . I think if the judges hadn't placed her so low in physique , when the division was new .. she would prob still be competing and doing well in shows .

2. Brenda Raganot -  she never got the credit she deserved . She told me once Iris Kyle told her personally that she could be Ms Olympia with her look

3. Laura Creavalle - should have won at least one Ms O

4. Yeon woo Ji - know she is not under rated in the fan popularity . But she has an ideal physique , compared to the watered down figure looking women , who are winning in her division .

5. Andrulla Blanchette -  she was a solid tank , could do martial arts for real . Was Intelligent with a great personality . Hollywood really missed out on casting her in roles when she was active . I could see her playing a evil bond girl 100%  better than any ones they ever had .

I don't think any of those women are underrated. They're all household names in the industry.

Yes they are not underrated among fans . But are in the industry as far as getting deserved credit . Lindsey retired after looking great in the wpw division , due to the judges placing her way too low . Laura never got a deserved Ms O , and Yeon should be a leader in the face of current wpw division , but the judges reward less muscular competitors .

Cornelia Brandt: She was gigantic & well-developed. Deserves to be mentioned with Karla Nelsen & Nicole Bass, but rarely is..

(Late 90s) Viviana Violante: had a body like Chris Envall, but seems virtually forgotten..

Eve Ripoli: Very lush and muscular for Her era. Wasn't around very long tho..
