It's much closer than I thought it would be, but I think the judges would still give it to Ronnie. That picture of his back double bi doesn't do him justice.

Put them next to each other (in other words in scale) and Ronnie would definitely win. These pictures blur that a little.

This is amazing. I read the title of this thread and I said:

"Is this a joke? Ronnie all the way!"

Then, I looked at the pics and I think it's much closed than expected.

Anyway, I think Ronnie would look bigger than Jay if we put them of the same stage... or maybe I'm wrong?

i prefer jay over ronnie. i just think his physique flows alot better. ronnie was brutally huge and everything, but ive honestly never liked his physique in the sense that he looks like he's put together from different parts. great bis, not so great tris, enormeous legs, but no calfs and lacks that deep quad separation that cutler has. also, though jays waist may be wider, i dont like the gut that ronnie carried with those distended abs. it looks off in the ab and thigh pose.

in the end, its not about the greatest amount of strenghts but the least amount of weaknesses, and i think jay prevails much because he doesent really have any weakness. his phusique is incredibly well proportioned and well put together for his size. thats not to say ronnie wasnt amazing cuz he was. but i honestly have always just appreciated cutlers physique more, and thought he carries his mass better.

This was way close than I expected. But Ronnie still wins for me. Jay has far too many asymmetries in his body.

IMO, Jay wins from the front and side triceps, Ronnie owns from the Back and in the side chest (would be good to have a picture though).

It is a pretty even matchup to me. The only thing that could maybe have Jay edge Big Ron out is the fact that he looks drier.

Jay is looking very impressive in some shots, but imo Ronnie still wins.

laugh all u want, doesent change my stance. from the first day i saw cutler and coleman on stage, i thought jay had a better physique. so what? im entitled to my opinion. bbing is a very subjective sport, what i find appealing and aestethic may differ completely from ur own perception(look at the votes in this thread, about 50/50 baby) and still none of us are "right" or "wrong" i dont see the point in posting just to say u didnt read what i said(i know u did btw).

do u agree that ronnie has more weaknesses than jay? see my point? a weakness in a physique is the first thing my eyes are drawn too, and when that weakness stands out among an ocean of strenghts, it disturbs the balance of the physique. when i look at jay i see no weaknesses, everything is balanced and the mass is evenly distributed. when i look at ronnie, compared to jay, i see biceps overpowering his triceps, legs that are way too big for his calves which basically arent even there, distended abdominals, and no quad separation.

jay is a more complete bodybuilder imo. and i think bbing should be about having a balanced physique. ronnies physique is freaky, and enormeous, but again, it doesent appeal even the slightest bit to me. never has and never will.
