I could not find any pics, but as far as I remember, he looked like crap from 2002 - 2005:

Levrone
Yates
Ray

Nasser began to fall already in 1999. He was a shadow of his former self 2000 onward.

I disagree. I think Jay has 1 maybe 2 good years left before his receptors burn out and his muscle becomes athrophied:

<- Jay two days out from the 2011 Olympia. I do, however, think that his waist looks suspiciously photoshopped in this pic.

Labrada, Haney, Francois,..

I was more referring to modern era because heavy drug use has been reason why former champions deteriorate.

and Michael didn't really have other choice but quit.

Kai is also in the mix IMO.

 ???

Kai is by no means finished - in fact, he's potentially still got improvements to make. I'll probably get slated for this but there's a slim (yes, slim) chance he could win the Olympia this year or next.

x2.  Kai has a very compact frame with a short torso that has the potential to expands as he gains more muscle.   He does bring the freak factor.

Kai will still kick a lot of ass for the next few years at the very minimum.....no way is he done yet.

I just did a little research:

Ronnie was 42 years old when he won his last Olympia in 2005.

Phil Heath is now 33 years old.

Kai Greene is now 37 years old.

Jay Cutler is now 39 years old.

-----------------------------------------------

I think nobody will be able to win an Olympia after being 42 like Ronnie. So, like I stated earlier in this topic, Jay has 1 or 2 years
left to win the O. again before his body wears out. Both Phil and Kain each have 5+ good years left.

Anyone disagree?

correct. the right question should be who knows when to quit. nothing is worse than a champion who can't acknowledge his time run out and should look beyond

here is the thing with ronnie,he was still mr. olympia when he got hurt,and was going after  haneys record,so you cant really blame him for trying a couple more years,and really couldnt have lokked that bad in those two olympias,as he placed 2nd and 4th,and what he has been doing lately is guestposing,i have seen a lot of top guys in their prime guess pose in worst shape,you guys post pics of them all the time.
