Yates' usually won over Lavrone, Dillet & Flex thanks to politics rife within a very commerical Weider realm.
Enough of the comparisons already, Yates was a bigger Franco Columbo with the same overpowering, unbalanced powerlifter's torso and wide hips.
The comparisons always conclude that Yates will always be Ron's dog and knows it himself. End of story.
