I think Nasser was slightly better in 96. I also think that the placings should have remained the same as 96 with Ray in 2nd and Nasser in 3rd.
It sounds like bullshit but the fact is Dorian is a totally different bodybuilder in person. Still photos don't capture his muscularity as well as video. Ray gets a lot of slack on this board but he's a far better bodybuilder than Nasser. He was more complete and never embarrassed himself on stage never used oil...........plus he's still alive
