Title: Lee Haney, Dorian Yates, Ronnie Coleman...Jay Cutler?
Post by: Parker on October 06, 2010, 04:57:55 PM
Okay, we've all seen them at their peaks, and the three former Mr. O's are all very dominant during their respective eras. Can Jay Cutler be uttered in the same breath in terms of quality, dominance of field, and changine the game? Lee Haney forced others to change up, Dorian forced others to change up, namely everybody had to have not just a great back, but a outstanding one, plus mass and superior conditioning. And Ronnie Coleman built upon that, and took it to a other level. What has Cutler brought? How has Cutlee changed the game, if at all?

2008, was Punished...

But, does that give him legitimacy to be held up and compared or spoken in the same breath as these greats? I mean, the others are spoken with reverance. For the most part, most people who even are acutler fans, have not really been fans of his physique, even when he won his first 2.

You see Ronnie at the Expo, and he caused a stir, in clothes he looks more freaky than Cutler did on stage. WTH? It's just something is odd wit this picture.

Cutler is one of those guys that just happen to stick around , stay healthy and win , he's like Dickerson and Columbu , you have to hand it to him although he's not in the league of the fore mentioned

I'm not a fan of his physique in the least but according to the rules he's the winner but his legacy will never be that of Arnold , Ronnie or Yates and Haney

You don't have to be great to win right now.  Jay is very good and that is good enough.  Until someone comes along with his size, better conditioning, and better shape, he's the man.

Cutler was just in the right place at the right time.  The competition field is shallow and he has size, which the Olympia judges favor.
IMO he's the most overrated bodybuilder of all time. It's a crime that he now has 4 Olympia titles (3 of which most people don't think he deserves) while guys like Flex, Kevin, Victor, Shawn and Chris have 0 combined.
His physique is an abomination of everything bodybuilding is supposed to be about.

I wouldn't go that far. The one most people don't think he deserves is his second one. All the others are pretty solid. Of course, in 2008, he really was off and Dex beat him (but some don't think he should have placed second in that one).

2006 - I still give to Ronnie with injuries given they didnt want Ronnie to finish with 9 vs Haney's 8.  On top of that Ronnie wasted him on the Euro Tour.
2007 - Vic
2008 - Dex
2009 - Jay
2010 - Jay - I thought phil but his day is coming.

Why invest the title holder with more than the title implies?

The Olympia winner is the best bodybuilder, on the day. That's it. Judging controversies aside, if someone like Dexter only ever wins one title, so what? He was the best bodybuilder on the day. The same goes for Dickerson and Samir (and even Columbu).

The winner should be the best man on the day and that's how it should be looked at.

  It doesen't matter. You are not compared to the best ever, but to the guys you are competing against. Cutler is the best currently because all of his opponents have serious flaws that he doesen't. Phil Heath is too small and has serious structural flaws despite his round muscle bellies and great taper. Wolfe has a long torso and terrible calves and so on...

  And you can't really compare any bodybuilders to Dorian and Ron at their best. These two are so far above every other bodybuilder in history that it is unfair to compare. The ultimate bodybuildiing show would be Ronnie at the 1998 Olympia vs Dorian 1995.

That's a good point. If he has less flaws than the other competitors on the day, he wins. Very simple. If every year he continues to have less flaws than the other competitors, then more power to him.

Now, disagreeing on what constitutes a flaw is another subject entirely.

^^^

There's only so far that the human body can progress in terms of bodybuilding.  I don't expect to see anyone who surpasses Ronnie any time soon.  Phil is continuing to improve and it will be interesting to see just how big his arms can get, but I don't know if another Ronnie Coleman will ever be seen again in the bodybuilding industry.

This is pure drivel. How do you know what "they" want or didn't want, whoever "they" are?

Ronnie was / is way more popular than Haney ever was, not to mention he'd been looking worse and worse since 2003, which wasn't his best shape, but set a new standard in muscularity. He had too many injuries in 2006 and Jay looked better, which is why the latter won.

He hasn't really changed anything because eveyone knows he's only top dog since Ronnie got old and tore everything.

He is however the widest guy around at the moment proportional to his frame, and now he's got his waist looking a bit better again it's gonna take someone in crazy shape to knock him off the top unless he comes in flat and fat again.

I guess we're in a period like the lat 70s earl 80s where a few guys look pretty good but noone is advancing the sport. I seriously thought Kai was gonna blow us all away this year with a new level of shredded crazyiness, but I guess that didn't happen.

I'm not comparing them per se, but asking does he warrant being mentioned with the likes that I had mentioned...Ronnie and Dorian are contemporaries, as are Ronnie and Jay, if given to logic, Jay would continue to build upon the uber freakiness that Ronnie brought, but he has not. Each era, builds upon the other, but it seems that after Ronnie, it has stagnated...with Jay, Ronnie was the plateau...now it's down hill

To me, Jay only deserved his last two titles. 2007 was one of the biggest jokes and 2006 was more like Ronnie "losing" 'cause the judges got fed up with him winning while declining. But he still should have beaten Jay. Jay hasn't faced the competition the other greats faced (particularly Yates and Arnold). I think he'll be considered as more deserving than some (Dickerson, Columbu, Jackson) but less than the others.

How's it a coincidence? Are you saying they alternate the multi Olympia winners based solely on the colour of their skin? That would be a pretty hard trick to pull off in the last forty years of pro bodybuilding!

All it goes to show is that one can be a multi-O winner irrespective of their skin colour. Unlike other sports where skin colour does seem to matter, where the winner is always white (swimming), or black (100m running).

160 pounds? I've seen dudes like in the video, regularly, and some of them on PCP, roughly 160-170, so don't diss 160, like it ain't nothing. Go4It weighs 170, and the women throw him their panties...

Each era got heavier and heavier, not necessarily better.  There is still argument that Dorian in '93 was the best, 17 years ago.  In order to be considered greater than Yates or Coleman, it won't be done on size, that's already been maxed out.  It's going to be someone with their size, but more detail and shape; a genetic freak.

Cutler will never reach the same legendary status of Ronnie, Haney, Arnold or Dorian....even if he wins more Olympias.

He basically didn't bring anything new to the table physique wise, his victories were not as dominant as the others (with the exception of 2009 maybe) and he just will never have the dominance the others had.

As others have said before in this thread, he was just at the right place and at the right time.

Now, I'm not trying to take anything away from Cutler, he is currently the best in the world (even though I'm not a fan of physique, I admit he beats everyone now)....but he can't be compared to them.

At it again huh? poor kid reduced to lying 

Q. This is my last question for you Ronnie, and it's quite "hypothetical" but I believe it is a good one. Let's say that it would be possible to have a bodybuilding contest where the only competitors would be you, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lee Haney, and Dorian Yates, and all of you in their prime condition. Who do you believe would win?

R.C. Come on now, this is the age of Ronnie Coleman who else would win... but I couldn't have beat them in their hey days.


he never once says he would win liar  ;) in fact he says for a third time ' I couldn't beat them in their hey-days '  ;D

Special Ed : Ronnie of Dorian competed in 1998 would you have smoked him?

Ronnie Coleman : NO I think he would have kept on winning as long as he competed I don't think he would have lost.


clear cut and concise  ;)

Taken out of FLEX nov 1999, page 90.  interview by jim schmaltz with ronnie before the 99 Olympia.

Jim:  What would have happened last year if Dorian Yates (recently retired winner of 6 straight Mr. Olympias) had competed?


Ronnie:  Dorian would have won again.


Jim: You think so?


Ronnie:  I know so.


these two quotes ended anything you have to say about the subject and sent you into the trolling spiral that you've yet to come out of.

Ronnie said three times he could NOT beat Dorian , 3 strikes you're out.  ;D

now you desperately need Ronnie to be honest and the funny part is he never said in that quote he would beat them , in fact he said he would lose to them in their eras

as usual epic backfire dummy  ;D

Ronnie Coleman : NO I think he would have kept on winning as long as he competed I don't think he would have lost.



this is the last quote he made on the subject at the close of his career this alone trumps anything he said before hand but it only confirms what he said all along , he can't beat Dorian

Jays physique last year was his best, that pic of him flexing his quad with flared lats will be 'one of those pics' for him IMO, like the priest triceps shot/platz quad pic.

His 09 form is worthy of being put in the mix of the OP's list.....would be at the bottom of the list but not out of place.

I remember reading the interview that ND is referring to. Ronnie said he felt Dorian could not be beaten.



I also recall Flex Wheeler, Paul Dillett, and Kevin Levrone having tremendous respect for Dorian. They at one point or another said Dorian was untouchable (who knows, they may have changed there minds down the road)


So if Flex, Ronnie, Dillett, and Levrone respected Yates, why do guys around here show Dorian so little respect?

I also recall Flex Wheeler, Paul Dillett, and Kevin Levrone having tremendous respect for Dorian. They at one point or another said Dorian was untouchable (who knows, they may have changed there minds down the road)


So if Flex, Ronnie, Dillett, and Levrone respected Yates, why do guys around here show Dorian so little respect?






They simply don't like his physique , they like the way Ronnie looks better and can't separate what they think looks better to what the judges do , Hulkster & pumpster started this trend of bashing Dorian , thinking this would somehow help his case and it backfired as usual

It confounds their pea-brains how Ronnie could concede that Dorian is better than him , but what do they know? they could wish Ronnie could dominate like Dorian did , they underestimate just how great he was

in the end Ronnie still feels Dorian would beat him , this alone doesn't make it so but I love running it in their face that Ronnie has consistently said Dorian would beat him , it just destroys them to hear  ;D

Seriously?  Haney, Yates, Coleman.....Pakulsi?  There's about 5 top bodybuilders right now and Jay is a little better than the others.  The idea that each generation of bodybuilders is better than the previous one is a fallacy.  We may never see Dorian's graininess, Platz's thigh development, or Munzer's conditioning again in our lifetime.  
Pakulski to me, looks better than Jay, give him time and he will be mind blowing, he has the shape, the size, freaky bodyparts (calves), photogenic...I say he will be one to watch.

ND has to use that argument because the visuals fail him.

they show ronnie to be clearly better and he needs any angle he can get to stay afloat.

been going on for years now. thats why he posts so many quotes and so few visuals..

Okay, we've all seen them at their peaks, and the three former Mr. O's are all very dominant during their respective eras. Can Jay Cutler be uttered in the same breath in terms of quality, dominance of field, and changine the game? Lee Haney forced others to change up, Dorian forced others to change up, namely everybody had to have not just a great back, but a outstanding one, plus mass and superior conditioning. And Ronnie Coleman built upon that, and took it to a other level. What has Cutler brought? How has Cutlee changed the game, if at all?

sure he continued with the big n cut ala haney, yates, coleman...
still outmuscles anybody he stands onstage with, his condi is up there, big cut quads etc..

Dude, you contributed nothing to the thread, nor the topic. Read what I wrote, digest it, then comment. The topic is whether or not he should be mention in the same sentence as the others, is he as dominant. A yes or a no...

160 pounds? I've seen dudes like in the video, regularly, and some of them on PCP, roughly 160-170, so don't diss 160, like it ain't nothing. Go4It weighs 170, and the women throw him their panties...


home skillet, you dont look like those treemonkey vids you posted, your 5 foot 5 and chubby 160lbs

yet you  are a bodybuilding critic

go figure ::)

How's it a coincidence? Are you saying they alternate the multi Olympia winners based solely on the colour of their skin? That would be a pretty hard trick to pull off in the last forty years of pro bodybuilding!

All it goes to show is that one can be a multi-O winner irrespective of their skin colour. Unlike other sports where skin colour does seem to matter, where the winner is always white (swimming), or black (100m running).

I think he skipped a few guys. There are 12 Mr. Olympia winners. All but three have won the title at least twice.

I simply don't like his physique, that's it.

Saying I don't like his physique is not equal to showing little respect is it? Saying Ronnie is better is not showing little respect is it?

I know and admit he dominated back in his competitive days and was unbeatable as far as judging criteria, but his physique was awful, horrible arms, not so great quads, etc. Then he got the injuries and bloated gut which made things worse. The guy basically had the muscular size advantage, outstanding conditioning and good balance; that's why he dominated.

Sounds like a complete bodybuilder.  His legend will grow as we continue on with the Jay era and beyond.

Complete bodybuilder for me? No.

This is pure drivel. How do you know what "they" want or didn't want, whoever "they" are?

Ronnie was / is way more popular than Haney ever was, not to mention he'd been looking worse and worse since 2003, which wasn't his best shape, but set a new standard in muscularity. He had too many injuries in 2006 and Jay looked better, which is why the latter won.

Ronnie is more popular because of the internet....

True, although his training videos and muscularity also play(ed) a part. Lee was a great bodybuilder, but was never in Ronnie's league - I'm talking in the context of muscularity.

I know Lee retired when he was still young and far from what he could have been, if he'd stayed around and taken Ronnie's stack, but that's beside the point. Ronnie is probably the most popular bodybuilder (among the fans and in the industry) since Arnold.

He beat a one lat, one armed, Ronnie in 2006. Should have lost 07 and 08. Dominated 2009 and beat Phil this year, pretty clearly. His back is far from "weak."

hahahahahaha tiny waist don't forget the bitch tits and 16" calves  ;)

Ronnie is more popular because Daminal said the internet , he appeals to a lot of fanboy who don't know the first thing about how contests are judged and think all that matters is big biceps and a narrow waist  ;)

Ronnie was a great champion and established himself as one of the best ever if not the best just based on his contests and Olympia titles but he never faced anyone like Dorian and he knows if he did he would have lost to the most dominant IFBB pro ever  ;D

Dorian on Ronnie

Flex Magazine April 09

 "He was a tremendous champion. It wasn't just winning contests that separated him from the rest, because what you see onstage is just the end result. It was the way he trained that really made him a legend."


his videos really did make him a legend his training is still unmatched to this day

Jaw got the look down I think that can't be underestimated. I mean he's huge blond square(growing) jaw. He looks hude in photo's if you ignore him being 5 8. People in twenty years won't remember who he competed against they'll remember that him by his photos. As much as I think he looks like a blocky video game character he's the best "face" of the sport.
