by Christian Duque<\/em><\/p>\n Yes. Big Ramy can win. Article over. No, wait!! There\u2019s more to it than that. There\u2019s no question in my mind that ANYONE who breaks into the Mr. Olympia Top 5, COULD win. Breaking into the Top 3 and especially being runner-up, further makes my point; however, that last little bit is what separates the bronze and silver medalists from the person who walks away with the gold. Ramy is at a crossroads \u2013 he has been for many years now, but what he decides is key. The sport of bodybuilding is one of apples and oranges. For purposes of this article, let\u2019s say that apples represent size and oranges represent cuts. Very, very few Mr. Olympias can be both. There\u2019s cases on record (e.g. Ronnie Coleman in 2003), but not many. Also, Ronnie didn\u2019t win while huge and ripped, it was a gamble after holding the title for five consecutive years. To come in at 300lbs or over (save for being over 6\u2019 tall) and ripped to shreds is unheard of. Most guys will either push the limits in terms of one or the other, but top guys won\u2019t take the gamble on both. Ramy doesn\u2019t subscribe to this theory. In fact, if anything, Ramy has gotten bigger over the years, despite the most passionate pleas from fans and the press. <\/p>\n
