I think the most intelligent thing Yates done in terms of Legacy was Leave after 1997 his Conditioning was as Normal Great however his Body was shot, as for while he competed as the Champion in terms of Preparation well 6 wins out of 7 attempts @ the O speaks volumes there perhaps one of the most Driven champs of them all, considering the Obvious physical and mental obsticals he had to overcome with severe injury's etc while still competing, i dont think anyone thats prepared to be unbiased would deny Ron had Superior Genetics for BB in terms of Shape, Taper, Muscles bellys etc than Yates however as has been Mentioned there was Plenty of others with Superior Genes than Yates and they all came up short....again and again.....Bar Haney.
