I think better question is who quit at the right time?

Levrone
Yates
Ray

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

Name pros who should have hung up the posing trunks instead going on the way they did:

Nasser El Sonbaty
Ronnie Coleman
Samir Bannout

I see no problem with it,so long as they're not competing(Samir)..

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.

Wow .. he did look fantastic 2 days out . I concur he has years left .

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.

I just did a little research:

Ronnie was 42 years old when he won his last Olympia in 2005. He was 41 then.

Phil Heath is now 33 years old. He is 32 now.

Kai Greene is now 37 years old. He is 36 now.

Jay Cutler is now 39 years old. He is 38 now.

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

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?

Not sure why Nasser is included in that list... but totally agree with you on Samir and Ronnie.
