or was it the 91 Haney

or 83 Bannout 

or 98 Ronnie

to me, Ronnie 99 will never be surpassed- size, shape and conditioning, no weak points.

I think this and 98 are basically interchangeable.

98 was better everyone knows this.

I've heard Ronnie say best "condition" ever in 1998 and 2001 AC. Do you think he just means conditioning or his physique as a whole? Because he has flip flopped on saying this between two contests (1998 Mr. Olympia & 2001 AC).

I think as far as acual judging criteria goes, that 98 fits the best of any of them. His gut was under better control, and he was just as big and dry as 01.

I tend to think if 01 as trying to recreate 98.
