2005
ND,
I tend to regard Hulkster as a fanatic. Every time I see him post comparisons, he shows the very worst pics of Dorian versus good pics of Coleman. That is not someone interested in getting at the truth. That's someone who is obsessed with Ronnie being "better" by any means necessary.
Just the same, I WILL say that I think what Shawn said is pretty much bullshit. Ronnie lost the gyno in '99, he was obviously bigger, still in fantastic shape and, if anything, the extra weight helped him show better cuts in some areas even if he wasn't as dry and "crisp" overall. I thought he kicked Flex's ass in '98 handily and beat him even more handily in 1999. Flex was all fired up onstage and definitely freaky with his bee-stung delts and arms, but if anything, I had him in fourth after Ronnie, Cormier and (ironically) Shawn.
