Why not just give the win to the best man of the day?

That would destroy the mr. Olympia mystique. 

[Dnizneer]

Thats the whole reason the Mr. Olympia was created. The Mr. Universe or whatever allowed just a person to win once, then the champ had to retire. By allowing the Champ to stay it forces him and the other competitors to drastically improve every year. And it really doesnt matter what anyone but the judges and the people who pay them think the winner should be.

I think Titus was robbed in 2005.

















Seriously, his personal assistant actually stole money from he and Kelly Ryan.  No telling how that one turned out.

[candidate2025]

Yes I know.  I'm trying to debate that Ronnie did not deserve his 2002 victory.

Speak on this.

from the front it was close, could have gone either way on size and conditioninig, challeneger had less of a gut, but ronnie had better muscle seperation.  from the back it was lights out, ronnie all the way.


same as in 2001.

Oh well, Thats just the way it is.

 ND, no way did ronnie not deserve to win in 2000. He outmatched Kevin in almost every pose that year.  Even the ab and thigh (a usual win for a coleman opponent) was not so since kevins quads were toothpics compared to Ronnie (and lacked good seperation that year - this was not the kevin of the early 1990's) and his abs have never been that great.  And don't even mention the back.
