Then break it down. Branch got 2nd at the 0 and you said the pros today beat the pros in the past.
now:jay,branch,kai,phil,dexter,kevin
then: Ronnie beats everyone there. Flex beats everyone there except for maybe jay.Chris Cormier same thing. Branch woudn't even make the top 6 then since everyone was on point in their conditioning. The rest is pretty obvious. The pic you posted clearly shows todays pros outmatched by symmetry,size, and conditioning.

The entire point of that discussion is that if the 90s bbers were to compete today, the Olympia placings would change drastically...it could end up being something like
1. Jay Cutler
2. Kai Greene
3. Flex Wheeler
4. Chris Cormier
5. Phil Heath
6. Nasser El-Sonbaty
(that would only happen if Phils mysterious last-minute illness came back again though)BB.com OG

I don't think it's fair to use Ronnie in that line-up as he was only one of the elite for two years. He falls into to early 2000s if you ask me.
Also, even if you remove Ronnie, I think that line-up might still be better than it is today, HOWEVER, I think the line-up at the 2010 Mr. Olympia will outshine the 90s. Unfortunately, 3 of the top 6 from last year were off. Had they come in shape, I think they would have been better than the 90s line-up you posted.Bench: 215x12 (17/12/2011) PR since torn RC

I guess that depends on how heavily you weigh a wider waist compared to much more mass. I think his peak was 2003. In the above line-up, he actually appears top heavy. His legs, for whatever reason, took a bit longer to catch up with his upper body. In 03, his legs were cartoonish, but his waist was also a bit bigger.
