Popular opinion isn't fact , especially considering it contradicts the people in the know and especially Ronnie himself , 2001 and 1998 are considered his best overall showings by people who know bodybuilding and again do you think you know more than the great bodybuilder of all time? stop avoiding the question
no, your statements contradict the people in the know as I've said all along. You're such a pathetic, lying piece of shit. Everything you say is contradicted.
here are quotes saying the 01 ASC was Ronnie's prime.
Peter McGough - Flex, August 2005"Ronnie sporting that [01 ASC] look would, in my opinion, be unbeatable."
Jim Stoppani - Flex, July 2005"Has anyone ever displayed a more muscular, more shredded, higher-quality physique than a 247-pound Ronnie Coleman at the 2001 Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic?"

here are quotes saying the 03 Mr. Olympia was Ronnie's prime.
Flex Wheeler - MD, February 2004"I'll go on record as saying Ronnie is truly the biggest, hardest, most shredded Mr. Olympia in history. No disrespect to anybody at all, but I'd to identify Ronnie Coleman as the greatest Mr. Olympia of all time."
Paul Dillet - MD, February 2004"Understand that if Ronnie walked away tomorrow, I do not think anyone can measure up to the standards he has set. Just like Sergio Oliva, an awesome bodybuilder way ahead of his time, and like Flex Wheeler, who had an absolutely perfect, beautiful physique. No one will match Serigo or Flex and now Ronnie."
Steve Blechman - MD, Febrary 2004"Ronnie perseveres and proves continually that, at his best, he is unbeatable."
Shawn Ray 2003 Year in Review (Hosted on Bodybuilding.com)"Ridiculous" Ronnie Coleman would win his 6th Sandow Trophy in a row looking absolutely ridiculous! This guy was from another planet! Ronnie added about a million pounds of muscle from the previous year and squashed the competition on sheer MASS! Unbelievable is what Ronnie was this night!"
John Hansen, 2x Mr. Natural Universe and Mr. Natural Olympia - Personal Website"It would be safe to say that [Ronnie Coleman] presented a physique that has never been seen by the bodybuilding world ever before. Competing at an incredibly massive 287 pounds, Ronnie destroyed the competition with a physique that could not possibly be equaled."
Ryan Mackie - A Fan Perspective: My 2003 Olympia Experience (Hosted on Bodybuilding.com)"Everyone could see that at 287 pounds this was Ronnie's night and that he was back on top of his game and furthermore bodybuilding had just seen the bar of excellence raised even further. Just like Dorian Yates did in 1993 when he set a new standard, Ronnie has now taken it even further leaving all his competitors wonder what they have to do to now catch Ronnie Coleman, let alone beat him."
now show me the quotes saying the 98 Mr. Olympia was Ronnie's best showing.
proportion AND BALANCE get it right Neo and Dorian has already commented that his balance is better than Ronnies on PBW and he's and IFBB judge but I'm sure you know more than him as well
I don't care if Dorian said he has better balance than Ronnie. It's impossible to tell when looking at both men. You would have to individually weigh both halves of the body. Dorian is on crack if he seriously thinks he has some magical powers to tell who has better balance.
Dorian Yates - Flex, October 2006"Balance means the mass of one side is equal to that of the other, even though their shapes, or symmetry, might differ."
