The era Nasser competed in is irrelevant. Even if he competed in the 2000s in his prime he'd still lose for the same reasons he lost in the 90s....weak back, inferior condition, poor lines/symmetry (according to Shawn Ray). Jay and Ronnie still would have beaten Nasser if Nasser was competing in his prime from, say, 03-05. There is still no explanation (other than excuses) for the fact that Nasser could only win the Arnold Classic title once Flex stopped competing in that competition. The one thing I do give Nasser supreme credit for is his posing capability. He was one of the few, besides Dorian, that knew how to perform a proper, powerful, posing routine.
