you must have missed the memo. Here it is again for your reading pleasure. A list of professional bodybuilders, fans, and magazine writers who all said Ronnie is the best of all-time.
Flex Wheeler - MD, February 2004
"I'll go on record as saying Ronnie is truly the biggest, hardest, most shredded Mr. Olympia in history. No disrespect to anybody at all, but I'd to identify Ronnie Coleman as the greatest Mr. Olympia of all time."
Jean Pierre Fux - Personal Website
"The current Mr. Olympia (Ronnie Coleman). In top shape, probably the best physique that ever stepped on stage."
Paul Dillet - MD, February 2004
"Understand that if Ronnie walked away tomorrow, I do not think anyone can measure up to the standards he has set. Just like Sergio Oliva, an awesome bodybuilder way ahead of his time, and like Flex Wheeler, who had an absolutely perfect, beautiful physique. No one will match Serigo or Flex and now Ronnie."
Dexter Jackson - Flex, January 2004
"As to Ronnie, that dude is by far the best bodybuilder on earth, he is in a class by himself, and no one will be able to touch him for years to come."
John Hansen, 2x Mr. Natural Universe and Mr. Natural Olympia - Personal Website
"It would be safe to say that [Ronnie Coleman] presented a physique that has never been seen by the bodybuilding world ever before. Competing at an incredibly massive 287 pounds, Ronnie destroyed the competition with a physique that could not possibly be equaled."
Shawn Ray – 2003 Year in Review (Hosted on Bodybuilding.com)
"Ridiculous" Ronnie Coleman would win his 6th Sandow Trophy in a row looking absolutely ridiculous! This guy was from another planet! Ronnie added about a million pounds of muscle from the previous year and squashed the competition on sheer MASS! Unbelievable is what Ronnie was this night!"
Mike Matarazzo – Flex, January 1999
“I think this creature from another planet, Ronnie Coleman, is going to be number one for a while. I think that, in the shape he was in, he would have beaten Dorian Yates. Ronnie has every single attribute it takes to be the greatest bodybuilder who ever lived.”
Dorian Yates - Radio Interview
"The judges would probably choose Ronnie [over me]."
Ryan Mackie - A Fan Perspective: My 2003 Olympia Experience (Hosted on Bodybuilding.com)
"Everyone could see that at 287 pounds this was Ronnie's night and that he was back on top of his game and furthermore bodybuilding had just seen the bar of excellence raised even further. Just like Dorian Yates did in 1993 when he set a new standard, Ronnie has now taken it even further leaving all his competitors wonder what they have to do to now catch Ronnie Coleman, let alone beat him."
Steve Blechman - MD, Febrary 2004
"Ronnie perseveres and proves continually that, at his best, he is unbeatable."

Everyone of these quotes don't say Ronnie is the greatest of all time LIE #1

Flex Wheeler - MD, February 2004
"I'll go on record as saying Ronnie is truly the biggest, hardest, most shredded Mr. Olympia in history. No disrespect to anybody at all, but I'd to identify Ronnie Coleman as the greatest Mr. Olympia of all time."
Stating the obvious Ronnie 2003 was the biggest and ' hardest ' Mr Olympia in history not stating anything new 287 pounds with good conditioning thats an accurate statement , his opinion Ronnie is the greatest Mr Olympia of all time is just that an opinion , he's also of the opinion that Ronnie wouldn't have most of his Sandows if he was still competing lol but I'm sure you guys agree with Flex on that too lol
Jean Pierre Fux - Personal Website
"The current Mr. Olympia (Ronnie Coleman). In top shape, probably the best physique that ever stepped on stage."
His opinion and I obviously disagree , and NOTICE the word probably

and best hardly
Paul Dillet - MD, February 2004
"Understand that if Ronnie walked away tomorrow, I do not think anyone can measure up to the standards he has set. Just like Sergio Oliva, an awesome bodybuilder way ahead of his time, and like Flex Wheeler, who had an absolutely perfect, beautiful physique. No one will match Serigo or Flex and now Ronnie."
Stating the obvious Ronnie was 287 pounds he did set the standard of being the biggest and best conditioned athlete at that time , I don't find in this particular quote where it says Ronnie is the greatest of all time though

Dexter Jackson - Flex, January 2004
"As to Ronnie, that dude is by far the best bodybuilder on earth, he is in a class by himself, and no one will be able to touch him for years to come."
Again stating the obvious after 2003 Ronnie was the best bodybuilder on the planet earth , Dorian was retired

and it wasn't quite accurate that no one would be able to beat ' touch ' him for years to come lol the follow year he only beat Jay by just 3 points !! thats touchable ! and again I don't see where it says Ronnie is the greatest of all time in this one either

John Hansen, 2x Mr. Natural Universe and Mr. Natural Olympia - Personal Website
"It would be safe to say that [Ronnie Coleman] presented a physique that has never been seen by the bodybuilding world ever before. Competing at an incredibly massive 287 pounds, Ronnie destroyed the competition with a physique that could not possibly be equaled."
I'm having trouble with this one as well , I don't see a reference about Ronnie being the best of all time

I see him stating the obvious Ronnie most certainly dominated the competition in 2003 and that year his physique couldn't be equaled

"Ridiculous" Ronnie Coleman would win his 6th Sandow Trophy in a row looking absolutely ridiculous! This guy was from another planet! Ronnie added about a million pounds of muscle from the previous year and squashed the competition on sheer MASS! Unbelievable is what Ronnie was this night!"
lets see whats missing ......oh the reference of Ronnie being the best of all time thats whats missing on this quote lol Shawn stating the very obvious and I'm surprised you posted this because Shawn agrees with me that Ronnie won in 2003 based on sheer mass not because he presented the best overall physique from top to bottom , and I'm sure you agree with all Shawn's comments on Ronnie?

Mike Matarazzo – Flex, January 1999
“I think this creature from another planet, Ronnie Coleman, is going to be number one for a while. I think that, in the shape he was in, he would have beaten Dorian Yates. Ronnie has every single attribute it takes to be the greatest bodybuilder who ever lived.”
He was giving his opinion and he never said Ronnie was the greatest bodybuilder who ever lived that he has the attributes to be the

big difference and this is a comment on Dorian Yates by Mike from Flex Oct 2003
DESCRIBE DORIAN YATES: The ultimate warrior. A straight-up no-bulls-t bodybuilder. He backed up everything with his physique. He silenced his critics with action. He bowed out at the end of his career with grace and style. He may go down in history as the greatest bodybuilder of all time.Kind of contradicts what he says about Ronnie don't cha think? either way its his opinion
Dorian Yates - Radio Interview
"The judges would probably choose Ronnie [over me]."
Wow talk about Fluff lol you're reaching very far with this one simply because NO WHERE does Dorian state Ronnie is the best who ever lived and he said repeated in this interview that it was VERY HARD for him to answer this and that the judges would PROBABLY ( operating word ) choose Ronnie based on a size advantage , not certainly but probably and that says nothing about how Ronnie would fair against Dorian from 1998/1999/2001 which in Peter McGough states ( 01 ) as being better than 2003 so lets find out what Yates thinks on those topic I'm wager its a different opinion

LMAFO where does it state Ronnie is the greatest of all time? I'm still looking for all these claims and he's stating the obvious see above
Steve Blechman - MD, Febrary 2004
"Ronnie perseveres and proves continually that, at his best, he is unbeatable."
This isn't accurate because at among his best showings 1998 he was very beatable and in 2003 he wasn't beatable by anyone who he was competing with
Peter McGough - Flex, August 2005
"Ronnie sporting that [01 ASC] look would, in my opinion, be unbeatable."
He's giving his opinion and I respect Peter's opinion very much but humbly disagree with it
Shawn Perine - Flex, July 2007 p. 207
"After all, he's still, even at 43 yrs old, eight-time Mr. O Ronnie freakin' Coleman. Which is to say, arguably the best bodybuilder who has ever lived."
keyword arguably its open for discussion its NOT a closed case
Greg Merritt - Flex, July 2007 p. 212
"Coleman is only two years older than the new Mr. O (hypothetical article saying if Toney Freeman won), but time stops for no man, including the greatest bodybuilder who ever lived."
Again opinion not much more
Jim Stoppani - Flex, July 2005
"Has anyone ever displayed a more muscular, more shredded, higher-quality physique than a 247-pound Ronnie Coleman at the 2001 Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic?"
This is posed as a question and its NOT a declaration and the answer is yes Dorian 1993

most of the opinion don't say hands down that Ronnie is the greatest of all time a few do , so your little ploy is like your comparisons NOT ACCURATE

and neither is the argument from ad populum ( appeal to the masses ) the only opinions that do matter are judges in the end .
