get over it, pussyboy. You can't win the O with only one lat and one triceps.

the best decision in olympia history.

the worst decision in olympia history was 1980 olympia and second worst was the 2001 mr. olympia.

Ronnie's right delt is full of oil there

And who do you think should have won in '80

[The Squadfather]

hahahaha, nice try, put Jay two feet closer like Ronnie is and have him do the exact same pose Ronnie's doing.

1981 was the worst.  Franco should have been 3rd or 4th.  Apparently Arnold pulled a few strings for him.

Agreed.  Danny Padilla kicked every ass onstage that night.

Here is an objective article I wrote on it:

http://www.bodybuildingpro.com/jaycutlerversusronniecoleman2006.html

Look at it this way: since 1983, the man with the best back has won the Mr. Olympia, and Jay had the best back in 2006.

1994 Mr. Olympia was the worst.

[GroinkTropin]

1994 Mr. Olympia was the worst.

No doubt shawn ray won that year, absolute bbing perfection right there.

[pobrecito]

1994 Mr. Olympia was the worst.

Hulkster thinks 01 was better than 94, that's how delusional he is

I am not a huge Cutler fan, but in 2001 he wiped the floor with Ronnie...Cutler came in dry, full and dense; compared to an over-sized soft Ronnie...I still think that Shawn was everything bodybuilding is supposed to be in 1994 and got hit with the disrespect stick where they placed him....

[Matt C]

If you go by the standard that the man with the best back wins, all the judging decisions since 1983 have been accurate.  Speaking of 1983, Bertil Fox being in fifth place was a travesty.

delsional?

you post a pic of dorian flexing and shawn and kevin haven't even hit the pose yet..

dorian got owned in 94.

Agreed - I'd choose Dorain over Ronnie any day but even I'd admit that Shawn got absolutely screwed in 94.

but there is no reason to assume that the standard of 'best back wins' is correct,  because, as with 94, not only did dorian not have the best back double bi, he also got owned from the front:

[Hulkster]

I mean really, dorian is standing next to milos who placed 11th:

the man with the best back should not win if he looks like garbage from the front, Ronnie included.

there are two sides to the body.

not just one

Milos has always had a great relaxed pose...Throughout history he has been able to stand next to the best in the business and still hold his own in a relaxed pose...It is just a shame when he flexed not much happened...

The worst decision ever was when Ben made sure Bev Francis came an incredible 8th place in Las Vegas in 83. Apparently Bev was too big and muscular for the sport. She was something like 3% bodyfat! It is all documented in "Pumping Iron 2, The Women".

Exactly what it should go back to....These days figure girls are bigger than Ms. Olympia competators of the past...It is getting bad when you can't classify exactly what you are looking at watching a Ms. Olympia contest...

[chaos]

ther's a thread with a million posts about Dorian/Ronnie take your shit over there

[Hulkster]

what does the fact that Shawn Ray got royally screwed have anything to do with dorian vs ronnie?

it doesn't.

I agree 100%.  I was in the 5th row for the pre judging and the finals.  Ronnie's mid-section was way off and Jay was a total package in my opinion.  The only reason he won is is went out in the crowd and the place went ape shit.  It was a good show on Ronnie's part but he should not have taken the Sandow that year.  I lost interest in the pro level for several years after that.
