Apparently everyone here does, and outside the BB world, no one even knows who Coleman is, so your point is?...

I don´t know if this has been posted here but anyway here is what Gustavo wrote at Milos Sarvevs forum.

First of all I would like to thank Milos and Milamar for being in my corner one more time, Thank you guys!
Now I would like to take the opportunity to address this issue that has come up about my attitude at the press conference and the interview after the challenge round. I saw the press conference as a great opportunity to spice things up by respectfully challenging the 7 times (at that moment) Mr. Olympia. I was never disrespectful to him, he was there as I was, to compete. I would have never challenge him out in the street or if he was guest posing in a show I was competing, do you get what I'm trying to say? I challenge him because we were both there as competitors, and who else was I going to challenge if not the Champion?
That said, I'll move to the other point, the interview after the Challenge Round. I work very hard, and I work hard because I want to win, I never train for 2nd, 3rd, .... and I'm sure all the other fellow competitors also work hard to win, no one works hard and sacrifices for the last place. So, what am I suppose to do, feel sorry for Ronnie cause I won the Challenge Round or enjoy it? You tell me. For me, I knew the show wasn't over yet, but I was feeling like a Champion myself because I had won to the Mr. Olympia Champion and the judges were the legends of the sport, the former Mr. Olimpias, I still think that's great and I'm still enjoying it.
On the interview some people found that I disrespected Ronnie because I mentioned his age, but my point is, even though he's a great bodybuilder, one of the best ever (if not the best) and I respect him very much, he's not forever, if it was like that there would be no point in having the contest.

Bottom line, I think what I have shown is confidence, I believe in myself and I don't see nothing wrong with that. I have never said that I'm better that everybody else or anything similar, but I don't see myself inferior either. I hope you can all see it as I mean it.

I also want to thank all my fans, your support is greatly appreciated, THANK YOU ALL!!!

Read what Milos wrote, I totally agree with that.

well Gustavo didnt gain any of my respect w/ that letter. I just think he made things worse.

If Gustavo wanted to be competitive, he should've just stuck to being drier and harder than everyone else. That being said, a little trash talking isn't the end of the world, and to be noticed, especially at the Olympia, sometimes you have to think outside the box. Worked for Iris Kyle last year, yet no one was jumping to Lenda Murray's defense; this is definitely nothing new.

Bottom line, Jay should've had it anyway. The drama here is just an accessory.

agree .. jay didn't desrerve his 2nd placing .. i think gustavo then gunter should be place ahead from jay

[djl3e]

i think jay would do alot better if he dropped 10-15 lbs, ronnie wins because he's got sharper definition with the his mass. jay has good mass, hecan keep up with ronnie but in my opinion he comes to these competitions looking a bit soft which is why he places 2nd. you can see some differences in his biceps and his chest, compared to ronnie. jay had some wide lats, in some pictures they looked wider than ronnie's but ronnie had more detail.

i think the olympia judging needs some refining. these bodybuilders are all getting super huge and alot compete looking real soft, it's pathetic. i think people like dexter jackson, who have symmetry and are cut up should be winning, not people who carry alot of weight with just a great look. it should be something extraordinary. and i'm not just pointing at dexter, lee priest seems to be very underrated as well.

i think it was last year when dexter competed with ronnie and jay and placed low. dexter and jay were posing together and i still cant believe jay beat him.

i guess size does matter...but definition and sharpness of the muscles should be key.
