Ferrigno & Columbu 4th and 5th and this guy comes out with yet more empty speculation.

Columbu competed as a world strong man he wasn't just flexing onstage. I have yet to see Ronnie give that a try. Ronnie is very good at flexing onstage, he's a bodybuilder. he's not a WSM athlete, but to say that he can just jump in the WSM arena and kick everybody's ass is Laughable

Who said he would kick everyone's ass other than you? Ferrigno and Columbu both did just fine with no special prep, so you're wrong. Where did you get the idea there is some kind of special credential to being a "WSM athlete" as you call them? Two BBs already did fine, with Coleman being stronger than either one of them.

lots of strongmen are ex bodybuilders...some did well, some didnt (so mentioning famous bbs like colombu and ferrigno is not proof of anything..also that was 25 years ago).  Would ronnie do well? hard to say, its just pure speculation. but he would certainly have to train the specific events. Also a big question is how good is ronnies grip strength..(can be improved tho). But ronnie would never win the worlds strongest man...several guys have higher powerlifting totals than ronnie does so ronnie couldnt just beat guys with pure strength. No doubt ronnie is strong tho.

Well actually, it's plenty proof that it didn't take any fancy prep or qualifications to do well, refuting the claims here that it takes "years of WSM prep"  ::) and the results prove that they did solidly, as opposed to yet another misconception here that they didn't.

It also proves that slave here remains cognitively challenged, since they're far better examples of BBs in the WSM than any of the others he claims to know about. ;)

very well put. Ronnie is strong I do not doubt that. like you said, he would have to train for specific events, I dont care if Ronnie can deadlift 800lbs, but having him deadlift the rear of a small Volkwagen is something else. Ronnie cannot just jump from bodybuilding straight to WSM and expect to be hercules without all the specific training, minset and every other principles that goes with it

WSM is a big challenge for any bodybuilders outthere. WSM is real world strenght pure and simple. The workouts in the gym does not automatically translate to WSM strenghts. oh, I forgot to mention that there are ALMOST NO GLOVES INVOLVE in these WSM contest

No, you're mired in the specifics of actual weightlifting, which is not WSM. Different animals that render the specifics you keep mentioning less relevant.

this makes zero sense...

uhm...svend karlsen is an ex bodybuilder and he was succesfull in wsm (eddy ellwood is another...not successful).but not as as succesful as colombu or ferrigno as a bodybuilder..but that doesnt matter as its strength and atheleticism that is important in strongman not how you looked at low bodyfat. and where did i say i takes years of practice ( do you always make up things when you have discussions with people? )..all i said was that ronnie would have to train the special events and no one knows if he would be any good until he actually did an event..takes stones for example..would ronnie be tall enough for lifting stones to high platforms? 
what this illustrates is that brute strength isnt everything..ronnie has strength..but some guys are  even stronger than ronnie and they arent winning events. add to this fact that ronnie has never trained the different events.

basically ronnie has the baseline power needed but alot of guys with his strength or better have failed to win anything..so the conclusion has to be that
ronnie wouldnt be winning any events.

Blacks usually suck at the strongman contests. They have no stamina.

Yea Black people have no stamina. I guess the Kenyans didn't get this memo when they takeover the Boston marathon year after year.

Funny how in sports where you're running for a long time and need stamina, Black people dominate (football, basketball, etc), yet in sports where you basically sit on your ass or stand in a single position most of the time (baseball) whites are filled in that sport.

same way  you don't see so many whites running back and receivers. it's not to say that whites can't be running backs and receivers, it's just that they prefer to play other positions. after all, they're all athletes

Good, so maybe this time you'll understand. You've made this extremely complicated with tangents that don't necessarily apply. It's not that complicated.

I can just picture Ronnie doing the Atlas stones or the fingal fingers. He wouldn't have a snowballs chance in hell.

Ronnie is too short for WSM. He would be at a disadvantage in too many of the events....just like in 2006 as Mariusz was due to being much shorter than Pfister.
