That leaves Jay with...
The same arguing is going on MD forums...
The main point is that:
"In all 23 contests he competed in from 2001 through 2011, Jay was either first or second. That level of longevity excellence has never been achieved by any bodybuilder. Through it all, Jay has been a magnificent ambassador for bodybuilding, and has done more for the sport than anyone else.His first Olympia victory came after four second places; no previous winner had that “close but no Sandow” runner-up record before taking the title. He is the only man to lose the Olympia (2008)and return and win it (2009). He is the only competitor to win three consecutive Arnold Classics (2002-2004). Those are the stats bearing testimony to Cutler being recognized as the greatest bodybuilder of the past decade."
No, that's a bunch of BS. Good consistancy does not defeat pure dominance.The same arguing is going on MD forums...

Exactly. They're obviously justifying a poorly received marketing ploy.No, that's a bunch of BS. Good consistancy does not defeat pure dominance.
Choosing 2002-2012 as the decade is being too selective and unfair. Should be 2000-2009 ONLY, which would be Ronnie Coleman, easily. And in case you can't count, 2002-2012 is eleven years, not a decade.Ronnie is the best bodybuilder ever. No question about that.
Which bodybuilder achieved more in the 2002-2012 time span? Jay Cutler.
End of story.
