1999 Pro World Ronnie pics

[Royal Lion]

Lol....yeah everyone who doesn't worship Ronnie is a "guy" - Hulkster has like 18,000 posts, 99% of which do nothing but praise Ronnie by posting his best shots compared to bad pics of Dorian, Kev, etc. 

Face it Hulkster, Ronnie was awesome but Dorian was arguably better and Kevin was damn close many times.

[Hulkster]

I know quality when I see it

[Hulkster]

Kevin beat Ronnie many times and deserved atleast 2 of his Olympia wins. For Hulkster

which ones?

this oughta be good.

cause we can all see quite clearly kevin got blown away in 2002 (based on the pics in this thread by kevin nuthuggers LOL)

and 2000 was even worse...

[NeoSeminole]

Bullshit.  According to your logic, no two photos from different contests or photographers can be compared.  Face it, Arnold would stack up well against Ronnie, or any other professional BB for that matter.  Obviously Ronnie was much bigger, especially in the legs, but bigger is not always better.

don't be a douche. You know damn well that is one of the worst pics of Ronnie. It's quite sad when you purposely resort to using the most unflattering pic you can find to make your case. Dorian and Arnold would lose the front double biceps pose to a prime Ronnie.

Epic hypocrisy!  You and Hulkster have both posted hundreds of unflattering pics of Dorian and others to prove your points.  If that makes someone a douche then you two are the biggest douches around 

My whole point was that its bullshit to claim that no two photos from different contests or photographers cannot be compared.   

In your blatantly biased opinion Ronnie wins the FDB, however, to me and to many others Dorian and Arnold look better in that pose.

more muscle does not make a better bodybuilder, how many times do you guys have to be told this

I agree.  Case in point is this year's NY Pro.  IMO Hide should have placed 2nd, ahead of both Ruhl and DJ despite the fact that they carried more muscle.

Ronnie Coleman is undoubtedly one of the greatest, but it also helps that the competition he faced in his prime weren't the level of the mid 90's competitors.  Many of the greats like Levrone, Ray, and Wheeler were past their prime; some more than others.

Once Wheeler retired Coleman's biggest competition was Jay Cutler? Cutler would fail to place top 10 in the 90's on his best day.

nice turtle gut showing here.

better than a barrel gut

and ironically, he looks better in that pose than kevin or dorian ever did..

[Hulkster]

why is the last picture called

"Paul Dillet is nuts" ? 

because paul once commented on how good dorian was in 95, yet he had a torn bi, and got owned by nasser, shawn et al. in many poses that year.

dorian himself said 95 was his best shape, but its hard to argue that because of the obvious deformed arm.

93 was his best.

Dorians abs/stomach > Ronnie's!

[Mr Nobody]

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

End of discussion.

He was great in his time but its over now he needs to rest.

[Hulkster]

Oh yeah I remember,
when he said the lights were off and when they came on he looked at Dorian and he looked inhuman and that he realized Dorian couldn't be beat.

..from the back....

In the eyes of the judges, bigger has been better since 1984

bwahahaha, if I'm guilty of posting "hundreds of unflattering pics of Dorian" then where are they? Post up examples with links so I can see the context in which they were used. The only times I have ever posted a bad shot of Dorian is when the nuthuggers try to find the worst pics of Ronnie possible. So let's see them. Put up or shut up.

looks better =/= better bodybuilder. There is a set of criteria the judges use. Ronnie beats Dorian and Arnold in the front double biceps b/c he has better muscular bulk, symmetry, definition, fullness, and taper.

[YoungBlood]

Quick search, this was the only photo I could find, but I'm pretty sure (without seeing a front shot) that this is one from the set I'm talking about...

Just look in the truce thread where you will find all sorts of posts which illustrate your blatant bias and posting of Dorian's worst shots compared to Ronnie's best.

Compare these two pics.  Ronnie looks more freaky, but Dorian is much more balanced and symmetrical and IMO takes the pose 

[alnassak]

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.

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.

glad someone agrees with me here, Kevin's build is a bodybuilders build, Ronnie is built to carry rocks or something, isn't pleasing to look at at all even though he has more muscle not better bodybuilder.

"In competitive bodybuilding, bodybuilders display their physiques to a panel of judges, who assign points based on their aesthetic appearance."

"Aesthetics may be defined narrowly as the theory of beauty, or more broadly as that together with the philosophy of art."

The Best physique ever built with serious mass and the most classic lines ever.

No one can touch this ART ever and never

You are 100% right my friend.

I really can’t stand a bodybuilder with huge gut\waist & has UGLY ABS with Zero Calves and Triceps mention as the best bodybuilder ever

If there is someone that deserved to be mentioned as the greatest bodybuilder, he should pass those criteria:
 
Great Aesthetic & Pleasing physiques + Nice Muscles Shape + Hard Condition + No Missing body parts+ Small Waist Line.

I see only 3 apply to it:
1-   Kevin Levrone
2-   Shawn Ray 
3-   Flex Wheeler

Kevin Levrone is the greatest in my eyes.
