What bodybuilder can beat the 2003 Ronnie Coleman at Mr O?

I think he was very fortunate to have competed when he did. Had he,
and this is my opinion, been a part of the current crop, taking what
they are supposedly taking, I am almost certain it would have destroyed
the look of his physique, his proportions, and quite possibly his health.

Here is the kicker!!!!!! Ronnie spent YEARS getting that physique, he started with powerlifting and then bodybuilding and just grinded for many years before hitting the gas hard and exploding with growth. Guys now a days don't have the patience and willpower to grind that long, they want everything NOW thus why they take off like a rocket then fizzle out quickly.
Ronnie was a special kind. Only way I could see someone surpassing that is if Dante went back to training people and got an exceptional genetic type guy and he grinded under Dantes watch for many years.

Ya. Somebody with dustys work ethic and density but a more aesthetic physique

If you could bring back any bodybuilder from any point in time to compete head to head against the 2003 version of Ronnie then who has the best chance of beating him and why?

I'm surprised how no one said PHIL HEATH in his prime, that's the ONLY man who can be compared with ronnie.

If he goes to the open and puts on the muscle needed (he is classic now) the whole hierarchy and apple cart is going to be turned over

I just want to say I was the first one - before even bboy - to point out that Jones had the structure and potential to beat everyone

Totally, I do not know why the judges did not have him on the first call, his abdomen was not great, but he was the one that attracted the most attention.

Amazing physique but he desperately needs some calves.
