Flex Wheeler " I would have won a couple of Mr Olympias by now "

[nicorulez]

Dorian was incredible in 1992/1993 and 1995.  In 1992, he would have lost simply because he was 240 pounds or so.  In 1993, his best chance to defeat the 2003 version of Coleman, he may have been a tad drier, but he was thirty pounds lighter.  His advantages in all mandatories, except the ab/thigh were consequently moot.  Could he have won, definitely; I have agreed with that position the whole thread.  I personally feel the judges would go for the size and conditioning, not to mention better taper and shape of Ronnie.  Regardless, the show would have been a war.  In 1995, although larger, he had the torn bodyparts and would have lost badly to someone with near equal conditioning, better size and rounder muscle bellies.  Once again, my opinion.  Flex would have been decimated.

from that recent clip somebody posted, you can see that they are vastly different body types, both amazing physiques, but it is like comparing apples and oranges. From that video clip I would say that Coleman does have the ascetically pleasing physique, but is is sooo subjective, it is really what the individual thinks looks better.

If he was able to keep improving.  I think he had maxed out his potential in much the way Cutler has.  Clearly using synthol was proof he wasn't able to gain any additional muscle mass on his own.  Being as shredded as can be at 220 would not save him from a 280 Ronnie either, no matter how pretty his lines were.

I those youtube clips that show him and Ronnie battling in 1999, Is it just me or did Flex have the strangest looking rear delts ever - they look like a 1980's suite with shoulder pads !!

Flex was awesome...too bad about the oil & bad work ethic though....

Flex could have beaten Ronnie in 98 - I didn't see anything particularly wrong with his physique but as for the other years, Ronnie was by far the better physique on the day so I don't know what Flex is on about.

Sometimes I think that guy thinks he's a legend in his own mind.

Ronnie in 2003. a new standard for back thickness and width was set, and by a wide margin.

That's what I call a champ.
