I changed the most muscular to a tie after giving the comparison a closer look. Ronnie should never attempt the standing variation most muscular again, it looks awful to say the least.

Ronnie comes close when you calculate it that way, but there are more poses that Victor dominates than Ronnie. Side tricep, rear lat, and back double bicep are clearly Victor.

True, the only reason ronnie even took fdb, relaxed and side chest is because he is bigger, but imo Victors shape is better. and as we know size wins in most comparisons, and I thought in those poses ronnie won he was just to big for vic

 

[PiC]

Vic all the way. ronnie`s conditioning kinda blows off .

 

[nigster]

Victor, easily. He just looks waaaay better. Ronnie looked like crap 2006.

pretty much took the words out of my mouth i totaly agree with your view.
only pose ronnie wins 100% is the front db shot.
and prolly the side chest shot

 

[El Freako]

Honestly I think Vic wins in nearly every pose.

 

[Flex]

I give the side chest to Victor because of his leg and chest striations. If Ronnie's legs looked better from the side, he would easily take it.

If I had to choose one it would be Victor, although they're pretty much even from my point of view in the side chest.

 

[Mygeeto]

i will have to say Vic although Coleman does give him quite a run for his money in a number of different ways

Vic got robbed in 2006 and 2007.

He should of been 2nd in 2006 and 1st in 2007.

Completely agree

Victor needs to fix his front lat spread. Its wrong everytime he does it.
