Flex peaked very early in his career, rarely coming in top form afterwards.  He was lazy, opting for last minute shortcuts.  He's delusional if he thinks he ever should have defeated Coleman in '99, which he reiterated recently.  I would have placed Flex 3rd, with Cormier 2nd that year.  He was even worse in 2000.

That’s why I said in his later career he’s overrated

He’s only been at the top of his game a few times 93 being one of them

2000 Flex claimed to be natural. Which meant low dosages of whatever he was doing. His kidneys were already shutting down.

Low dosage to him was 5 grams of assorted shit. Flex could hold a 45 pound plate while stepping on a scale and never come close to 270 pounds with abs.

I think he said that in 2002. In his last year at the MO.

Flex looked better at the 2000 Arnold. But still looked like he was stung by bees.

Yep, after losing Ironman in front of Cormier, he came with a superior condition to ASC

Much better lighting, but yeah - he looked a lot better.

Theoretically speaking this could have been linked to his kidney disease.

The kidney's main function is to regulate the water balance in the body by getting rid of excess fluid. When kidneys don't work well they lose the ability to rid the body of excess fluid, which might explain the softness. Besides general wellness is reduced and this must affect muscle mass and quality.
