in those comparison shots i would hve to go with Phil, seems to hve tighter waist and better symetry from the back, although Big Ron's arms look bigger i dont think it quite makes up for the rest, very tough call though.....
 
He's wasn't at his best then and was probably lucky to beat Jay.
2001 and 2003 were his best years although I think 1999 was.

Remembering that these are just photos and may not accurately convey the package on stage and that the most recent pic of Phil is apparently 2013 and alot can change in the better part of 2 years, my opinion is that -

Ronnie has better developed arms, particularly biceps with better separation and a better peak, although Phil improves greatly between the two pics.
Ronnie's abs are more comprehensive and defined.
Ronnie's ercetors and glutes are more developed and thicker.
IMO Ronnie's legs are a little more developed e.g. vastus medialis, but it could just be how they are posing. In the second pics he definitely has more vascular legs.
Ronnie definitely has more mass overall, whether this appeals to you or not is personal preference. Phil does have a much thinner waist and the shape of his lats accentuate that, however Ronnie has a bit more meat in his lats and personally I find that more visually striking. The two have very different physiques. Particularly in the first pics Phil's transverse abdominis looks better. Both have strong points and no doubt Phil will continue to improve, but based purely on these pics, I prefer Ronnie's physique. However we all know how subjective this sport is.....
 
Sometimes it's very hrd to tell. Lot's of them use SEO so it wouldn't surprise. Mind you Ronnie has large biceps anyway.
 
At 100% Ronnie was the most complete bber ever - might be a long time till we see someone with his genetics again....Phil is a fantastic bber/fantastic shape but at 100% Ronnie had great shape, MASSIVE sive, and insane condition...
 
Well, Phil has overall good symmetry
his biceps are longer and arms overall better shaped.
forearms are a better shape and larger
pecs are smaller but the symmetry is almost perfect
same with lat's and overall back, symmetry is is incredible.
butt cheeks are symmetric compared to rons.
legs, can't see them

im no avid follower just my ob's
