Yeah you were that guy that never placed well in competitions.  I prefer the beast Coleman, the freak Coleman, the strongest bodybuilder in the world coleman, the untouchable coleman.

He looked way better once he finally managed to bring up his internal organs and intestines.

The gyno didn't hurt too.

Ya know,  i am a jay and dorian fan, but I must admit that Ronnie is the best BB in the history of the sport...

These are some of my favorites from 1999..
I think his best year overall for size, cuts and proportion.
Check the upper thigh cuts in pic 1.
The split peaked bis in pic two.
Traps, legs and overall condition in # 3.
One of the top 3 backs of all time if not the best in pic #4.

  If he still looked like that, he'd probably still be Mr. Olympia.

99 was a good year for Big Ron.
A few from the Grand Prix after the Olympia
where he was a bit bigger but holding a little more water.
(Not that you can tell much by the pics.)

One well respected writer described his condition
@ the 1999 Olympia as a walking anatomy chart.
Absolutely no Munzer but Munzer never carried close
to 260 pounds.
Striated intercostals in pic 1
Striated from the bottom of his pec all the way
to the back of his delts in pic 2.
From his kneck to calves - very defined in pic 3.
Pic 4 speaks for itself.

Last set here...
Although Ron was known as having a gut later
in his competitions he had very little of a gut in 1999
and a very small waist. Brian Buchanan is known as
having one of the smallest waists. (Almost too small
acording to some) but Ron in his prime had one of the best shoulder
to waist differentials.
2nd pic is a screencap of BB from the 88 Olympia.
Third pic is taken from a dig camera - therefore the pixelation.

You're just begging someone to respond with "PICTURE NUMBER 2 IS NOT RONNIE!!!!"

the funny thing is I don't think he gained that much muscle from that shape.  These guys go from 220 or 230 to 260 or 270 mostly by adding bloat.

Those pics from the 1999 Olympia are UNREAL. I have never taken a good look at Olympias before 2000, maybe other than 1998 when he won the first time. That is the greatest physique I've ever seen on stage.

He must be the greatest of all time because I don't see how that is beatable!

  If he still looked like that, he'd probably still be Mr. Olympia.

If he still looked like that, he'd positively still be Mr. Olympia.

99 was ronnie's best year - he had the cuts of the AC, but with more size and fullness.

he looked a little flat in comparison to the AC.

from 99: :o

and likely for a long time to come.

we have yet to see anything that can top this, to date, in our sport:

agree totally.

I don't care what the nuthuggers say. We can all see it for ourselves.

Ronnie in 99 was untouchable.

its hard to imagine a physqique that can top that. You you have to find someone with even more detail, more size, but still with great shape..tough to do.

we haven't seen it yet, and the way things are going in this sport, its doubtful we ever will.

even the current Mr. O. pales in comparison:

Ronnie's shoulder to waist ratio/taper was just insane in 99'.
