===Professional===
In late 1979, Mentzer won the heavyweight class of the [[Mr. Olympia]], again with a perfect 300 score, but he lost in the overall to [[Frank Zane]] (who was awarded his third title) that year. In the 1980 Mr. Olympia he placed fourth in a tie with Boyer Coe behind [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]], [[Chris Dickerson (bodybuilder)|Chris Dickerson]], and Frank Zane.<ref name="interview" /> This decision remains extremely controversial, as many believed that Arnold was in much worse condition than in his prior success in body building, due to his inactivity in the sport in order to pursue his acting career.
