yes, but with Ronnie there is proof (any vids/pics from both contests) to corroberate what he said. you always forget this..
and even McGough agrees that 99 was better than 98, since he specifically mentions 99 (not 98) in his article of the 10 best Mr. O's ever.
nice try though ND. you always get owned by me.
There are pics and vids clearly showing Ronnie was harder & drier in 1998 than 1999 , you look at the pics and see what you want , case in point ....Ronnie has more detailed calves than Dorian
you know what again? NOTHING
And McGough doesn't say Ronnie was better conditioned in 1999 VS 1998 stop making shit up , just because he said it was better doesn't mean he was better conditioned
in fact in the same article he says 2001 is Ronnie's best . in fact he's remained consistent that Ronnie was better conditioned in his first Olympia which coincides with other professionals have said

As much as I love Haney and my IA champs, I think Ronnie circa '98 or at the 2001 Arnold is pretty much untouchable. Except by Dorian Yates 6 weeks out from the '93 O as photographed by our own KMH. Both men, on those specific occasions carried so much dry muscle mass in good proportion and with good lines that it's almost unfair to compare them to others.
Where is 1999? NO WHERE
While I’m on record as saying that the best physique I ever saw was Ronnie’s at the 2001 Arnold, he was never drier or harder than Dorian. In fact now that – 14 years after it happened – I recently for the first time saw the video of Dorian posing before the 1993 Olympia I have cause to rethink. I’m now not sure that Ronnie at 245 pounds would beat Dorian at 269 pounds. At a bigger bodyweight I think Ronnie would look soft next to an in-shape rock-hard Dorian.Where is 1999? NO WHERE
review of mr. olympia 1999, january 2000, page 90:
257 pounds, a good seven pounds heavier than last year and the clear winner, ALTHOUGH NOT AS BONE DRY OR AS ROCK HARD IN 98. In comparison to 98, his thighs are enourmous with a greater sweep and his front delts have improved; plus the pec anomaly (gyno) is no longer present.Stating the obvious
Quote Peter McGough Flex Magazine Jan 2001
RONNIE COLEMAN : ( 264lbs As big as a house , but holding water. In '98 , he was shredded and bone dry at 250 pounds. Last year ( 1999 ) he was 257 pounds but NOT as sharp as '98. This year ( 2000 ) at 264 pounds , he's not as sharp as 99 , which would seem to say that Ronnie is better at a lighter weight .
ha ha ha " NOT as sharp as 98 " in 99 not as sharp in 00 as in 99 which would seem to say Ronnie is better at a lighter weight
Ronnie what was your best Olympia? Ronnie Coleman: I would say my first because my conditioning was spot-on." You own shit...you don't know shit and you're proven wrong by me again
