not really. only the three dorian nuthuggers.
how many threads do you see about ronnie being gifted all the time?
how many pro bodybuilding sites do you see proclaiming that others got shafted throughout his reign?
hardly any.
fact is - Ronnie does not get bashed much - sure people may bash his 300 pound look.
but no one bashes his 250ish pound physique.
on the other hand, dorian gets bashed at all stages and phases of his career..
even by sites like Muscletime
The plain truth is that I beat Ronnie last year [2000] and Jay Cutler beat Ronnie this year. You should not win the Mr. Olympia if your stomach is hanging out -- period. Last year, I patted Ronnie's stomach during the posedown to draw attention to the fact that he was bloated. That tactic obviously didn't work, and Ronnie beat me in the posedown to successfully defend his title for a third straight Mr. O triumph.
So now the show rolls around and Jay Cutler beats Ronnie in both prejudging rounds: symmetry and muscularity. Ronnie was spilling over with too much water during the muscularity round, and Cutler took it to him in many of the poses that Coleman usually dominates.
How can Cutler lose this contest if he wins in both symmetry and muscularity? How can Ronnie retain his title if his midsection is bloated and distended? Why should the fans get behind a champion who can't present an aesthetic image of what bodybuilding is supposed to be all about?
I'm talking about classical proportions, perfect symmetry and ideal conditioning. Based on that ideal, I should have won the Sandow in 2000, and Cutler should have taken it in 2001.
The fans deserve better than what they are getting. I'm already working hard to ensure that, in 2002, a true peoples' champ can strip the title away from Ronnie Coleman.
Kevin just crushing Ronnie , 3 year stretch Ronnie should have lost according to Kevin
1998 not a definitive win for Ronnie , Flex magazine says if Flex 100% Ronnie would be second , Flex Wheeler says if he duplicated his 98ASC showing he would have beaten Ronnie ' easily '
1999 Flex claims he was number 1 and sources say Big Ron was lucky to beat Flex again
2000 Levrone claims he beat Ronnie
2001 Cutler crushed him , Levrone says Jay was robbed
2002 Kevin says Ronnie should have lost
Coleman had not replicated the dominance of Haney and Yates. He always seemed slightly vulnerable, protected as much by protocol as his physique. Flex on Ronnie
In the years since you retired, have you gotten the urge to jump onstage again to do battle with Coleman and the rest of the guys?
WHEELER: I know in my heart that if I were the force I was before I had to abruptly leave the sport ... bro, I would have won a couple of Olympias by now--or at least Ronnie and I would be going back and forth, slugging it out, like in a brutal UFC [Ultimate Fighting Championship] fight. I have no doubt. And I have no doubt that it would be just me and him. I mean, where it's
him separated from everyone else down here on planet Earth, it would be me and him slugging it out. I don't mean to sound cocky, but I have no doubt. If you don't believe me, just go back to the old pictures and put them up against anybody competing today. Flex saying if he didn't retire he's own a couple of Ronnie's Sandows lol
Shall I continue to crush every statement you make?
1993 Mr Olympia Flex Wheeler says Dorian is ' unbeatable '
1999 Mr Olympia Flex Wheeler turns his back on Ronnie and says he's number 1
