Wow, between this thread and the one about Dorian posing in the 96 German GP, Hulkster has his work cut out for him till the end of the week.

Look forward to seeing pics from the 99 Olympia for the 845759590484737394474857 494957574383903032933737 485050th time 8)

No one but Dorian nuthuggers give a shit about his winning/loss record.  Ronald has the most wins and is tied for the most Os end of story...Dorian is not and has never been widely viewed as the best ever and he never will be...Ronald has been.

No the fuck it doesn't...Look at the Ronnie Dorian competed against then look at Dorian in 1997...nuff said...So are you going to tell me you think a 98 Ronnie would have lost to a 97 Dorian?...Even is he hadn't torn his tri...his waist was blown out his quads were skinny and his arms where small as fuck....he would have gotten raped by 98 Ronnie and any Ronnie after....We can talk all day about 93 Dorian vs. whatever Ronnie...bottom line is 8 Mr. Os and most wins ever and a 15 year career and vs. Dorian's 6 year career...So much staying power Dorian had. Overall Ronnie is the best ever.

come on, lee haney retired as an extremely young age


he knew doirian was about to start owning him, and he knew dorian was about to take it to a new level

Let's say Dorian beat Haney in 92...I guarantee that Haney could have drugged it up and beat Yates....In 1993 When Yates was his best....Haney even admitted he learned how to peak in 92... So either way it's Ronnie that's better or it's Haney, I can argue both in different ways...I like Dorian but Ronnie in 98, 99, 01 Arnold, 03 Mr. O are all better than 93 Yates.

calm down wiggs, im just fuckin with ya, playing devils advocate





except the part about  dorian being too much for haney to handle........that part its indisputable

Flex and Shawn couldn't hold Haney's jock....I'll agree with you Dorian was too much to handle and any talk about Haney continuing would be theoretical but he had the body to do it...He was just under 6'0 and had the frame to be 275 shredded and with a decent waist...The only thing that is clear is that no one matches Dorian's dryness, back thickness or those awesome calves...Ronald kills on on everything else...Ronnie could at 287 would make a 260 Dorian look awfully small..Look what he did to Cutler in 03 and Cutler was huge.

No it took Dorian to realize he couldn't win anymore with a fucked up arm and God knows what....But both are true hardcore gym warriors, I guess you could say Haney was as well, and that is what seperates them from someone like Jay Cutler---Raisin Bland...

do you realize that jay has finished first or second in EVERY olympia for the last decade (minus 1 year he didnt compete)

won the arnold classic  at will

was the first guy to lose the olympia, and in the face of industy-wide doubt and adversity..........came back with his arguably his best package ever

started out from the bottom of the fuckign bottom climbing his way from the "did not place" catagory to a multiple time winner






i think jay cutler has earned his fucking warrior stripes (as much as one can be a "warrior" in a sport where you job is to oil up and pose in a thong for other men)

but seriously jay is probably the most impressive of them all, cause he, on paper, shoudl never have been a good bodybuilder

Jay has had more help getting to where he is than Clarence Thomas. When Jay first came on the scene he was getting Magazine covers, remember the infamous 1996 MuscleMag towel cover shot? Then he was giving the Arnold Classic twice over a better conditioned Cormier---Johnny Fitness had said that Jay's back was thicker and more defined than Cormier's...and the pics proved otherwise. Jay is and has been a marketer's wet dream, Mr. All American (and we won't go into what that entails). If Jay was actually for the competition, he wuldn't have lost in the first place. They were sending him a signal. And then he won over The People's Champ, Phil Heath, with a package that was not as good as last year...and He still hasn't gotten rid of the wrinkles in his back.

He's no gym warrior, no hardcore, he's no Aaron "Mr. Intensity" Maddron, but what he is, is Mr. O. No, he won't be known for his insane lifts 5 weeks out from the Mr. O, for his insane back detail, density, or beating a prime 1993 Flex Wheeler. Nor will he be known for being the Lion that held off the Leopard known as Shawn Ray or the Jaguar known as Kev Levrone. He won't be known for losing to Gunter, and then coming back and outmassing him....No, Jay will be known as just as that, Jay Cutler, Mr. O, no shock, no awe inspiring motivation for kids of another generation, but just a footnote.

Great post...100% true...this is not a personal attack on Jay just the truth...Jay looked good for 2 of his 4 Olympia's and in my opinion didn't deserve this last one)...His best years were wasted trying to beat Ronnie...

Hopefully, years from now MmadMaxx6 won't be asking for a apology like Clarence Thomas' wife.... ;D ;)

It is what it is, and you know what, I think Jay knows that. It would be awesome for Jay and Ronnie to actually train together, for Jay to see, first hand, just how intense, even a maintenance level Ronnie Coleman is.

What you say here is true and I'm definitively not implying Dorian didn't work hard. I actually think he worked harder than Flex, but in 94 he was off (to his own standard) and Flex was the only guy that had the potential to beat him.

Let's face it, after his accident Flex was never the same and I honestly think he could've beaten Dorian in 94. 97 is the same.

98 Ronnie is easily the best ever and imo the best physique ever brought to a stage..TRIX thanks...I never saw that before...unbelievable.  252lbs...He shouldn't have gotten any bigger than that...Unless his 99 size could have been brought with 98 conditioning...

Pretty sure the extra size he carried in 99 was because his conditioning suffered. However his quads were markedly bigger, but IMHO it was a bad thing, his quads in 99 made his upper/lower leg imbalance a LOT worse. His quads in 98 were diced matched the rest of his physique much better. Plus in 98 his waist was TIGHT. Still had a shitty ab/thigh but overall ALL his poses looked a lot better do to his waist being tight.

The funny thing is he didn't need to be any bigger what so ever , he was beating much heavier guys than himself in 98 , like Flex he didn't need to be big to beat the bigger guys

you look at the trend in 98 he was 249lbs and hard as nails and dry , 99 a tad heavier at 257lbs and you can see his conditioning is suffering , 2000 264lbs and his conditioning is going south and his gut is maxing out as well as his balance & proportions , he pulled it all together in 2001 ASC at 247lbs and look his best ever which proves Ronnie's ideal was right around 250 lbs at that weight he looked bigger and his conditioning was spot-on

The funny thing is he didn't need to be any bigger what so ever , he was beating much heavier guys than himself in 98 , like Flex he didn't need to be big to beat the bigger guys

you look at the trend in 98 he was 249lbs and hard as nails and dry , 99 a tad heavier at 257lbs and you can see his conditioning is suffering , 2000 264lbs and his conditioning is going south and his gut is maxing out as well as his balance & proportions , he pulled it all together in 2001 ASC at 247lbs and look his best ever which proves Ronnie's ideal was right around 250 lbs at that weight he looked bigger and his conditioning was spot-on

I don;t like his 03 physique but his size and conditioning owned all.

His conditioning in 03 was pathetic. It was just that he was so huge, that everyone just gave his conditioning a pass, because no one had ever carried that kind of size with ANY sort of conditioning. He was water logged.

That is a great video of Ronnie -- really shows how he was spot on in 1998.  It's ironic that he and Dorian both lost quality after their first couple of Mr.O titles chasing extra size.

Youre like the more intelligent, less biased, non-retarded version of Hulkster. Bravo.
Good choice on Flex btw, I keep forgetting your not Hulkster, he would have replaced Flex with Shawn Ray. lol.
