ND, you honestly think that Cutler has better genetics than Ronnie. That is asinine. Granted, Coleman is old and a shadow (funny how Dorian always pops up) of his former self. It was apparent in 2004 and 2005 that he was not at his peak. 2006 proved that even lions get old. Come on man, you know damn well that an all-time best Ronnie would absolutely destroy Cutler. You denounce Ronnie for his gut, but the same bloated, wide ass belly on Cutler does not raise your ire. Why is that? Dorian had a huge gut also, but he looked infinitely better than Gutler. Hell, Dorian in 1997 would have probably beaten Gutler in every year but this one. The judges seem to give points to aesthetically unpleasing bodybuilders. Hell, to morons like Slayer, Jay has a better arms and hamstrings. Until this year, Ronnie killed him on the back shots. I can understand your point about Dorian vs Ronnie; at least it would not be inexplicable for Dorian to win in a match-up of their all-time bests (although I still disagree about the outcome in a fairly judged contest). However, Cutler? Say it isn't so ND; I respect you but man that is plain stupid.
I look at the great bodybuilders in different way . I don't consider who is the absolute best of all time. No, I look at them as unique special models that eventually become classics, like great cars , songs or movies.
Each top champ is/was great in their day and time and remain a classic in the history of the sport.
Ronnie at around 258 winning the ASC is what I consider his all time best.
