98 was the best version of Ronnie by far, but not as good as Dorian

Ronnie in his prime destroys all including dorian, phil or anyone else. There's never been anyone who's brought such size, shape and conditioning all together. Dorian's arms sucked and he often got beat from the front by Nassar and phil is just a tiny tit. No comparison.

That shape and size and conditioning has never been matched again. I doubt we will see such a freak for the next fifty years.

Regardless of how you rank Ronnie and Dorian (best and/or second best of all time imo), none of today's pros hold a candle to either of them.  If a prime Ronnie or a prime Yates walked on stage this year, the domination would be laughable.

Post by: Royal Lion on June 06, 2015, 09:31:09 PM
And to be clear, I'm not trying to hijack a Ronnie thread....the pics of him above are awesome and a reminder of how great he was.  IMO, he and DorIan are by far the two GOATs.

Even if a prime Levrone, Wheeler, Ray, Sonbaty, etc, were to walk onstage today, they would ALL place in front of the so called "best" of today.

How would Phil look like in that Line-Up? Would he be closer to Ronnie or to Lee in terms of overall-size? Hard to tell...

In that condition Ronnie would win this year's O.
Or at least end up top 2-3.

It is laughable comparing RC to today's clowns. At his peak he was a man among boys. Not even the great Dorian Yates in 1993 would come close.

Mine are from the 2001 nz grand prix.
only ever seen a couple photos from that show.
The schmoes will finger their bums in excitement.

Ronnie is easily the best ever.

I think early 90s were the best: Yates, Taylor, Levrone, Ray, Labrada, before the GH guts....

Of course he would.  At Yates' best he was bigger than Coleman's best.  They'd be 1-2, very close, in no particular order.

Muscle size & shape wise quite well.
Overall body size hard to tell.
I think his muscle density / maturity & conditioning
May be his biggest problems.
Oh for that time machine.

Although I know people prefer his 1998 / 1999 shape, the 2003 version of RC is the most ridiculous thing to ever step on the Olympia stage. DY's socks pic unreal but he flattened out at the show.

Ronnie and Yates in their prime would blow away the current crop. Yates with his grainy density would make the guys of today look bloated. Ronnie at his best was a freak of nature. Interesting that both trained heavy.
