Ronnie's best year was 98.......248 and no real gut issues at that point.
That's hard to argue.
I actually liked him best circa y2K. He was smoother than he'd been in previous years but he also looked a LOT bigger and thicker than he was even in 1999. And in spite of what Levrone says, Ronnie's conditioning in 2000 wasn't THAT bad ... better to have a [very] slightly bloated midsection than to have vastly inferior wheels overall.
Maybe if Kevin had showed up at his very best, we'd have a legit argument in so far as the 2000 Olympia winner is concerned. Kev didn't. Flex was beyond SEOs to just stay in the game, as was Nasser El Oilsabaty (any fans of the "beautiful [googly-eyed] man with glasses" can line up and suck my cock ... he was a tremendous juiced-up guy who went from contender to laughing stock, and it's ALL his doing -- or, I should say,
was).
