I wouldn't call being in the top ten of the world and winner of two contests in his second ( or third?) year as a pro a "B Level" bodybuilder.
How is he not? Winning a couple of second tier events is nice but hardly puts him in Coleman's class, or even Cutler or Jackson's.
While I fully realise BB shows have nothing to do with strength and it's largely irrelevant how much you can press/squat/DL on the day, I think BB could potentially add some life into what is increasingly a tedious year by having an alternative 'strength Olympia' (or something) just for the IFBB pros. You could have a couple of meets earlier in the year where you'd qualify, and then the ten or so strongest guys in the final.
It would end all this bullshit about who can lift what. OK, this isn't powerlifting, but I bet if someone put up a $100,000 winner-takes-all prize, you'd get interest, and I'm sure the second-tier guys like Warren and Johnny Jackson would be up for it. Whether Ronnie would bother, or anyone else concerned about injuries etc, is a different story. But these guys lift heavy all the time during their workouts - or at least, that's what we're told - I'm not sure there's much of a difference.
Coleman vs Johnny Jackson in the final? Could be fun. My money's on Ronnie.
