Even as good as Levrone was in those, Ronnie makes him look like a little child.
Too bad Ronnie didn't always look like that through his entire career!

Ronnie should have been satisfied with what he had, instead of always trying to push the envelope and get bigger and bigger. It worked for a while but then it started to work against him, and he didn't realize it. I doubt he does even now.

ronnie looks just as big by himself at a lower bodyweight... of course 03 & 04 would dwarf him if he stood next to himself... but looks epic at lower bodyweight

the first time ronnie started to go downhill was at the 2000 olympia - he still owned everyone but was noticably bigger (and a bit softer) than before.

he rebounded by dropping 15 pounds of weight for his AC 2001 win, but then it was downhill after that.

in 2003 again, rebound, but still not as good as his lighter bodyweights.

Not really, Arnold had a wide waist (said so himslef) so he hid it by doing those twisting side shots. Excellent physique none the less, but he was the freak of his day, along with Sergio.

And that was arguably Arnold's WORST Olympia showing ever. The man weighed like 210-215 pounds with NO legs at all. I still prefer his physique over Ronnie's any day of the week though.

Nope, by any standards, pics of him standing relaxed, or that pic of him with the blonde in the bikini show it. If he were to compete today, he'd have a Gunter wide waist. Arnold knew his weaknesses, and that is why he did those twisting shots...

Anyone have the photos that Chad took of Ronnie in the late 90's early 2000's posing at 291 and nearly contest ready in Metroflex? That was what started Ronnie on the 2003 showing, and the idea he might be able to compete at that weight.

well take a look at ronnie in that shot. like an emaciated skeleton.

I'm not gonna argue that, but kevin does have a more pleasing side chest, not sure if it is the way Ronnie is posing or just his muscle shape.

Bullshit.  According to your logic, no two photos from different contests or photographers can be compared.  Face it, Arnold would stack up well against Ronnie, or any other professional BB for that matter.  Obviously Ronnie was much bigger, especially in the legs, but bigger is not always better.

Haha, what a retarded comment. He has had the best arms in the world. Assumeing most bodybuilders train pretty hard, i think it's fair to say genetics have a hand in it.

Just because one year he was depleted, don't mean dick.

Yates once had a small back, doesn't mean just anyone could build the back he did in '93/'95.

thats a classic ironage comparison done with the best shot of arnold and one of the worst ever of ronnie (in bad shape at the 2001 olympia)

they would never use a ronnie shot from 98/99 or the 2001 AC.

too bad Flex mag did that for them.

I disagree.  Because of Ronnie's distention the FDB is not one of his better poses.  His arms look unreal and of course his quads are huge, but his gut and waist really ruin that pose for me.  I prefer arnold in that shot.  A pre-tear Dorian also has a better FBD.  Ronnie has more size, but both Arnold and Dorian look better in this pose.

I don't think Ronnie's delts are better in this shot - Kevin's left arm and tri don't look as good as usual, but look at his delts, they are crazy.  His right arm is just as big as Ronnie's as well.  Maybe he isn't flexing his left arm yet or it's a bad angle?  I'm just saying that is not Kevin's usual look.

I think 02 is the year Kevin only prepped for 12 weeks and as such, his legs were definitely lacking.  That was probably his best chance to win the Mr. O because 02 was Ronnie's worst showing.

to be honest, at least based on those pics, Kevin doesn't look like he pushed ronnie hard at all that year.

maybe if Kevin had a full year of training and showed up at his best (looking something  his 92 or 94 AC form) but not like that.

the back comparison is embarassing for him.

Levrone pushed Ronnie to the absolute limit in 2002 and arguably in 2000.  98,99, & 03 you're right, no one touched Ronnie.  KL didn't compete in 04.  Here are some 02 shots...

LOL And still in every single pic Coleman is lightyears ahead of Levrone. The only pose where it eventually could be close is the side triceps.

exactly

actually levrone was smoked by guter in that contest

levrone had terrible legs, they weren t good enough for a national show

levrone past 1994 = all triceps and only motivation for 12weeks of proper preperation a year

I'm just saying that is not Kevin's usual look

perhaps he ran out of esciline?  :-X 8)

seriously though, his arms were so smooth and puffy at that show he looked like Flex at the height of his synthol abusing days..which, ironically enough, was probably 1999 the year of this show..

Ronnie should have been satisfied with what he had, instead of always trying to push the envelope and get bigger and bigger. It worked for a while but then it started to work against him, and he didn't realize it. I doubt he does even now.

Getting bigger didn't work for a while, it always worked, until mid-40s when he should've retired and age caught up. He probably only got bigger because he didn't like dieting, and it worked just fine. Now whether bigger was better is subjective but it didn't hurt him at all in regards to winning or being physically dominant.

Face it Hulkster, Ronnie was awesome but Dorian was arguably better and Kevin was damn close many times.

Bullshit.  According to your logic, no two photos from different contests or photographers can be compared.  Face it, Arnold would stack up well against Ronnie, or any other professional BB for that matter.  Obviously Ronnie was much bigger, especially in the legs, but bigger is not always better.

don't be a douche. You know damn well that is one of the worst pics of Ronnie. It's quite sad when you purposely resort to using the most unflattering pic you can find to make your case. Dorian and Arnold would lose the front double biceps pose to a prime Ronnie.

Epic hypocrisy!  You and Hulkster have both posted hundreds of unflattering pics of Dorian and others to prove your points.  If that makes someone a douche then you two are the biggest douches around  ;)

My whole point was that its bullshit to claim that no two photos from different contests or photographers cannot be compared.   

In your blatantly biased opinion Ronnie wins the FDB, however, to me and to many others Dorian and Arnold look better in that pose.

Ronnie Coleman is undoubtedly one of the greatest, but it also helps that the competition he faced in his prime weren't the level of the mid 90's competitors.  Many of the greats like Levrone, Ray, and Wheeler were past their prime; some more than others.

Once Wheeler retired Coleman's biggest competition was Jay Cutler? Cutler would fail to place top 10 in the 90's on his best day.

why is the last picture called

"Paul Dillet is nuts" ?  ???

because paul once commented on how good dorian was in 95, yet he had a torn bi, and got owned by nasser, shawn et al. in many poses that year.

dorian himself said 95 was his best shape, but its hard to argue that because of the obvious deformed arm.

93 was his best.

looks better =/= better bodybuilder. There is a set of criteria the judges use. Ronnie beats Dorian and Arnold in the front double biceps b/c he has better muscular bulk, symmetry, definition, fullness, and taper.

You are 100% right my friend.

I really can’t stand a bodybuilder with huge gut\waist & has UGLY ABS with Zero Calves and Triceps mention as the best bodybuilder ever

If there is someone that deserved to be mentioned as the greatest bodybuilder, he should pass those criteria:  

 
Great Aesthetic & Pleasing physiques + Nice Muscles Shape + Hard Condition + No Missing body parts+ Small Waist Line.

I see only 3 apply to it:
1-   Kevin Levrone
2-   Shawn Ray 
3-   Flex Wheeler

Kevin Levrone is the greatest in my eyes.

Ronnie doesn't have better shape, taper, symmetry, or balance in that FDB comparison.  He is bigger, yes, but that is about it.  His forearms and calves are too small for his bi/tris and quads, and his stomach and waist detract from the pose.
