whose better? Ronnie Coleman or Paul Dillet?

[Jay_Star]

Seems to me, Paul Dillet is bigger.

[Genetix]

Paul Dillett has incredible genetics, I doubt that anyone will dispute that. Ronnie has incredible enetics accomponied by incredible work ethic.
My vot egoes to Ronnie.

[Uriel_da_man]

Complete oposites. Dillet has the front while Ronnie has the back.

[jerusalem_Beef]

Also ronnie has 8 mr os as well to back up ....i would say ronnie by far

[massssive]

Ronnie of course...

This is worse than if Jay is better than Ronnie... or Dorian is better than Nassar... -_-

[Uriel_da_man]

Huh?

[jjdrum06]

[Uriel_da_man]

Well it's debateable because other than on the back Dillet beats Ronnie everywhere.

[Flex500]

You can't count it by that, Ronnie never actualy beat Dillet that I can remember and Dillet beat Ronnie plenty of times.

Do your HW man

Ronnie beated him more than once and when he wasnt on his best shape yet.

I cant belive ppl are taking this thread seriously i mean dillet was good but not to be compared with Ronnie.

[Uriel_da_man]

Between 94-97 Dillet pretty much always beat Coleman. Then Dillet went downhill. But while Dillet was still serious about it Ronnie didn't beat him. Then Ronnie started his major bulkage and became Mr. Olympia.

But still, I stand by my first reply, you can't say one is better than the other because it's just completely different bodies - Dillet has Ronnie beat on the shoulders, biceps, triceps, WAIST and thighs. Coleman has Dillet beat on the back and...back? Because let's face it, by today's judging standards the best back = the best body, they completely disregard all the rest.

dillet doesnt have better shoulders, nor does he have better biceps, thighs either. dillet was big but, he just didnt look right, a incredibly small chest delts that overpowered everything on his body. he was not balanced at all a foolish comparison.

[kethnaab]

you are a complete nincompoop. Paul Dillet isn't fit to hold Ronnie's jock.

[Uriel_da_man]

Hum, yes he does?

And I say Ronnie's gut overpowers everything in his body too

[SwagMorris]

You suck at trolling.

8 Mr. O's>>>>>>>>0 Mr. O's

What don't you understand about that?

[Guardian]

Dillet had the potential to be better, Ronnie had less potential but was better if that makes sense.

[coldfusion71]

well that is your opinion, i am sure you will have a hard time finding anyone who agrees with you . you can talk about a gut, but dillet whole body was unbalaced and he couldnt pose and had no back whatsoever.

[kethnaab]

seriously. Are we comparing Dillet at his best to Ronnie at his worst?

typical BS from a hater. Ronnie at his best would go to the bathroom and drop a big steaming Dillet into the toilet.

[Gaffigan]

Coleman by far, no question about it.

[Uriel_da_man]

Dillet's quads were bigger and had deeper cuts. How were they not better?

His shoulders were bigger and just as conditioned. How were they not better?

His biceps were bigger and had a much lower insertion, and in case you haven't been paying attention to the biz for normal people huge peaks are great and all but in bodybuilding the lower the insertions the better. So how were they not better?

When I said Dillet had better shoulders, biceps etc etc, I meant as in Dillet in his prime vs Ronnie in his prime. And I'm not a hater, sorry to disappoint you, I'm actualy a fan of Ronnie. I'm merely being objective. You guys are talking about how much better Ronnie is when you haven't even take the time to objectively compare them. The ONLY thing in which Ronnie is better than Dillet is on the back, like I've said countless times before.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to kethnaab again.

Dillet probably had the best genetics of any pro bodybuilder, he never was AT HIS BEST in any sense of the word. But bodybuilding is about reality not genetics, thats why Dorian beat Flex, thats why Arnold beat Lou, and thats why Ronnie beats Dillet.

He DOES beat Dillet on a bodybuilding contest, I'm not saying he doesn't. But posing aside, and judging all body parts equaly (and like I said, they give a lot more importance to the back than to the front nowadays), Coleman can't even wish to "drop a big steaming Dillet into the toilet".

[SemiShred]

Ron is better, for now.

[Rambo26]

Dillet had a small waist and probably the biggest arms of them all

[Guardian]

Yea I believe there were 24 inches, that is prolly the largest of any bodybuilder to date

[stealth_swimmer]

No, mid range is for biceps is best in bodybuilding becuase that means peak while maintaining fullness. Personally I don't think either of them had great biceps but Ronnie's look better from the back.

I agree with everything else you said, Ronnie had Dillet from the back.

Thing is, Dillet couldn't pose for anything and that counts for a lot. Both of them back in the day, Dillet was better. But I think Ronnie in his prime would mean Ronnie in 2003 or possibly 2005. Both of these would certainly beat Dillet. No doubt about it, I don't think the 2003 version of Ronnie can be beat by anyone.
