Ronnie was not off in my opinion. The only things off about his physique were what appeared to be minor injuries to his triceps and lat - and guess what? He sustained that injury to his triceps during his victory collapse at the Olympia last year. Had he been more graceful in victory #8 he may have #9 today. Bursitis isn't easy to get over, especially at age 42.
I disagree that Jay only beat Ronnie slightly from the back. I think it was clear Jay's back was noticeably better than Ronnie's. However, as far as overall back poses go, Ronnie had Jay on glutes and hamstrings.
Ronnie was way harder. Let's be clear about one thing: Jay does not have the genetics to EVER in his life be as hard as Ronnie. Never. It is genetically impossible and you can drug Jay up as much as possible (and this is already so) and it will never happen. Sad to say it, but guys entered a local show in Thunder Bay in June and were harder than Jay. Not that Jay isn't hard, but he can't genetically get as hard as Ronnie ever.
Ronnie's front double biceps and front lat spreads were so far ahead of Jay's that with that alone, I would give it to Ronnie.
How can you consider this to be "off".

My thoughts are here:

I will have much more to say later.
One thing is for sure: 41 years of bodybuilding history would tell us Ronnie should have won - even IF you can argue that Jay deserved to win. Personally I don't agree that Jay deserved to win. BUT, even IF you could argue that, as I said, it STILL makes no sense that Ronnie lost. In the history of bodybuilding the reigning champ will prevail, whether or not he deserves to is irrelevant.
Monster inconsistency in judging standards.
Here's an idea IFBB: award the title to who you think is the best man of the night! I might not agree with you (like this time), but that IS the best system. This reign for the sake of reign crap is just that - crap.
dude if jay would have lost you would be saying just the opposite..you would have said jay had a better back than coleman but still lost.jay had better triceps than coleman but still lost..you would have also siad that jay had bette legs and abs than coleman but still lost..then you would have cited examples from the 2001 mr olympiA and you would have stated that how jay lost that show inspite of being in awesome shape and again lost this show inspite of being in good shape..dude you are crazy and stop lickking colemans ass..jay beat him so bad that its would we good for coleman to just retire..he has no place in bodybuilding after this loss
JAY CUTLER BEAT RONNIE COLEMAN AT THE OLYMPIA 2006..DEAL WITH THIS FACT AND MOVE ON!!!!

There is CLEARLY something wrong with the left side of his body. Look at the front DBl Bi shot. Left arm and lat WAY smaller than his right.
