Even as good as Levrone was in those, Ronnie makes him look like a little child.
Too bad Ronnie didn't always look like that through his entire career!

Ronnie should have been satisfied with what he had, instead of always trying to push the envelope and get bigger and bigger. It worked for a while but then it started to work against him, and he didn't realize it. I doubt he does even now.

ronnie looks just as big by himself at a lower bodyweight... of course 03 & 04 would dwarf him if he stood next to himself... but looks epic at lower bodyweight

his muscle quality looks so full and healthy there, what year do you think he really started to lose that "pop" to his physique....? 04, 05 maybe?

the first time ronnie started to go downhill was at the 2000 olympia - he still owned everyone but was noticably bigger (and a bit softer) than before.

he rebounded by dropping 15 pounds of weight for his AC 2001 win, but then it was downhill after that.

in 2003 again, rebound, but still not as good as his lighter bodyweights.

Not really, Arnold had a wide waist (said so himslef) so he hid it by doing those twisting side shots. Excellent physique none the less, but he was the freak of his day, along with Sergio.

Wide waist? Maybe by 70's standards. Looked pretty good nonetheless.  ;)

And that was arguably Arnold's WORST Olympia showing ever. The man weighed like 210-215 pounds with NO legs at all. I still prefer his physique over Ronnie's any day of the week though.

Nope, by any standards, pics of him standing relaxed, or that pic of him with the blonde in the bikini show it. If he were to compete today, he'd have a Gunter wide waist. Arnold knew his weaknesses, and that is why he did those twisting shots...

Anyone have the photos that Chad took of Ronnie in the late 90's early 2000's posing at 291 and nearly contest ready in Metroflex? That was what started Ronnie on the 2003 showing, and the idea he might be able to compete at that weight.

How can the Dorian lovers ever argue with a shot like this?  Just ridiculous levels of muscularity and conditioning.  THose dorian lovers are on crack.

the dorian nuthuggers love to point out dorian's cheekbones as reference to how 'hard' he was.

well take a look at ronnie in that shot. like an emaciated skeleton.

Ronnie has more muscle, that doesn't make him the best bodybuilder, Kevin wins by far in aesthetics in this pose, Ronnies chest shoulders look like crap here, muscle but not shaped nicely.

but kevin's arms/chest/delts have zero detail, zero vascularity, zero refinment.

look offseason compared to the quality of Ronnie's physique..

Ronnie Coleman is, by far, the greatest bodybuilder to ever walk on this planet. 

End of discussion.
