Well I do not know if I can narrow it down to the top 5. I've never seen Reeves, or Grimik, or Pearl or Sergio pose.
But I do think of the athletes I have seen I would rank them this way, with the routine:
Bob Paris-1988 Mr. Olympia-Tracy Chapman song Phill Hill - 1988 Mr. Olympia-Phantom of the Opera Kevin Leverone-1995 Arnold Classic-1492 sound track with voice overs of JFK and Martin Luther King Mohammed Makkay-1985 Mr. Olympia-Classica music piece Mustafa Mohammed-2005 Charlotte Pro-Instrumental

Tough question!!
Among former competitors, John DeFendis, Frank Zane and Ed Corney were incredible! Even Arnold commented on Corney's posing at a show! And Diana Dennis and Carla Dunlap epitomized female posing for me!
Among current competitors, Darrem Charles and Melvin Anthony are extremely good in their movements and transitions. Have to include my friend Lance Johnson here because he is always fun to watch and projects the fun he has on stage. And Betty Pariso is one of the most imaginative posers ever.
Know that is more than 5, but just too tough to narrow down!
