At the end of the day Rhoden was judged the best bb in the world one day. Maybe he trains like a pussy or is "all drugs" but he managed to do what all these other guys are aiming for, most of whom will fail.
Maybe he's from the Lee Haney school of thought, "stimulate, don't annihilate"

Maybe he will fare better than Ronnie when bb is over. Or maybe he will die early or rot away in jail. Who knows.
