sure it did Ronnie was a deserving winner but make NO mistake it was close and he was ' overlooked ' excuse is just that an excuse , Roland Cziurlock was overlooked in 1994 where did he place? if Ronnie was ' overlooked ' he wouldn't have won

Sorry hulkster I'm going to have to disagree with you here, but his conditioning in 99 was not better than 98. Are you sure you can't see he was drier in 98?
not according to the pics and videos: ronnie blew flex away in 98, made him look soft, oily and puffy.and you call this close LOL ND still hasn't learned that just because judges show a score difference of a few points doesn't mean that it should have been that close on paper. most times it doesn't.but then, he really has no clue so..
Dorian's hair was much improved over his '92 form
His feathered hair was awesome...
its a little better with even more size.compare the clips.notice how when ronnie hits the mm in 99, his chest is a roadmap of detail and vascularity. in the 98 clip, nothing happens. notice the rear lat spread. the christmas tree of detail is loud and clear in 99, not so in 98. its obvious when you really compare the clips.now, the nuthuggers know the clip shows 99 to be better, and do you know what their way of refuting this is? they simply claim the 99 videos are faked LOL yes, they really are that sad.
Yes, many people think Ronnie was better in 1999 than 1998.On a fairly recent pole at MD RC's 1999 physique was rated better than 1998 by more people.Mike Arnold over there wrote that Ronnie 1999 was the gold standard in bodybuildingand I guarantee he knows more about bodybuilding and judging than anyone here.Try debating that guy..LOL As far as the video quality; it is consistent with other 1999 high quality onessuch as this one of Shawn Ray.
I don't think you can put too much emphasis on how close a victory was in alot of cases. Ronnie beat Jay by one point in '04. Same with Haney and Dorian in '91 when I thought Haney was the clear winner, I'm sure you'll agree . I think the judges make it close sometimes to build interest and create hype/rivalry for the next yr. I though flex should've been 4th behind Levrone and Shawn also in the '98 O not 2nd.

and stare clear of Bizzy's clips the funny part is if they aren't worked like you claim why have you stopped using them? LMFAO
Ronnie: 8 Mr. Os and most wins everDorian 6nuff said.
Dorian retires undefeated
try telling that to the idiot nuthuggers... the collective lack of intelligence is nothing short of spectacular.
guy hero and fellow yates sperm swallower Peter Mcgough also rated 99 higher than 98, but felt that his 2001 AC form was better than either.yet the nuthuggers STILL love to claim 98 was better than 99, even though its clear that its not and thats why most feel that it isn't, including their lord and saviour, Peter McGough LOLits fun to rub it in LOL
The sad part is you keep clinging to this retarded notion Ronnie was bigger , harder & drier in 99 yet absolutely NO ONE ( worth listening to ) agrees , 1999 is NOT considered his best by anyone and Ronnie himself said twice his best Olympia was 1998 , like I just typed above you have a long history of contradicting reality , thanks again for proving me right. I love how now you only post the youtube video and stare clear of Bizzy's clips the funny part is if they aren't worked like you claim why have you stopped using them? LMFAO you post the youtube clip that looks exactly like Bizzy's but doesn't have his name , how about this prejudging video from 1999 that looks more like the Muscletime scans and the magazine scans and NOTHING like Bizzy's screencaps , you don't dare post that because once again it shows what you don't wanna see
because everyone on this board is sick and tired of you having a meltdown when they are posted because you know and we all know that yates could never touch that.no need to post screenshots anymore when we have excellent high quality clips available.that you claim are faked LOL
wow, finally a real video of 99.Ronnie was much more impressive in 98. He was more conditioned, dryer, significantly smaller waist, and no gut which he had in 99.
actually dorian retired looking like this LOL
