but is beating Ronnie at age 43 really that impressive?
seriously.
if Jay was as great as some on the board hype him up to be, he would have beat Ronnie a few years ago - eg in 2003.
In order for Jay to be considered as great as he is by some, he had to beat the best when they are at their best.
that has never happened.
If Ronnie was really as good as some on the board hype him up to be , he would have beat Dorian a few years ago - e.g 1996 lol you have to be carefull what you type slick
and Jay did beat Ronnie in both the symmetry and muscularity rounds of the 2001 Mr Olympia but Ronnie someone ' wins ' the whole contest with the posing rounds and mind you NO ONE in the history of the contest has ever lost the prejudging and won the contest with the posing rounds , Ronnie was a very lucky man
And for the record Arnold Schwarzenegger is the greatest Mr Olympia of all times , he was the standard bearer , he was the first to win six consecutive Mr Olympia titles , he could have won 14 if he wanted to , he retired at 28 and in all probablity never reached his full potential , he could have very easily won in 1976/77/78/79/81/82/83 Haney would have stopped him but he faced no one post his reign that he couldn't have beaten
And being the greatest Mr Olympia doesn't just encompass how many Sandows you have its more , Arnold went on to achive success that no one could have imagined and he still stayed true to his bodybuilding roots ( although thats changes because of his politics ) and he's done more for public exposure for bodybuilding than any former winner
Arnold is the original and the greatest !
