Is Dexter Jackson the most overrated bodybuilder of all time?

Title says it all. One thing I cannot seem to understand is how Dexter manages to win so many shows over bigger and better guys like Roelly or Ramy.

Case in point, Arnold Europe 2016. Dexter manages to win against Ramy despite losing in literally all 8 mandatory poses. (Seriously just look) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UB_yXoXqT-g

Next off we have the 2016 New York Pro, where Dexter beats Roelly for the win after losing 7/8 mandatories and winning the back double biceps. (Could possibly win Side Chest depending on preference, but this is ridiculous.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udohB-EWE5Q

Even now in the Olympia he's still managing to do well even though his waist is uglier and wider than ever, spilling over his trunks with that weird oval shape. How he managed to beat Curry last year is beyond me and I'm glad he slipped down so far in placings. One main point people like to bring up is that he brings great conditioning every year and is "Aesthetic". The way I see it the last year he was actually aesthetic was 2011. After that he just went downhill and every year he looked worse and worse. Yet people still parade this man around like the last bastion of conditioning and lines even though his conditioning was average or even subpar for 90's standards. (Levrone's conditioning vs Dexter in 2016)

So, is Dexter Jackson incredibly overrated or am I just biased?
