Apples and oranges, people either love him or hate him.

MMmm I understand. Dorians muscle dont move when he hit pose.

in those black and white pictures, I would say that he is the greatest bber ever
thing is, he didn't look anywhere as thick and shredded onstage
over-rated

wide waist
poor muscle separation except for the back
I'll never get how he won

Too bad he dwarfed Levrone, eh? ;D

I just talked to Dorian about an hour ago for awhile. I mentioned Getbig and he has been on here a few times. But, his thoughts about this place is what I figure most pros thoughts are. The people who post here in majority are anynomous and it's hard to distinguish between real and bullshit.
-

yeah his waistline probably had a good 8 inches on kev's

Arms look about the same size.
Too bad Kev has that long torso, and his lats insert high. Nice chest on Levrone, too. Delts look a little overpowered by his arms. Dorian does have him on waist though ;D
-
PS.
Dillet dwarfs everyone from the front.
Too bad he poses like he has down syndrome.

no

Yup. Sorry buddy. Just Kevin is smaller everywhere else, making his arms look bigger.

Not taking sides here, but Dorians waist shows zero distention in that video. Ronnie has never presented anything that good. Even in 98 Ronnie had distention on top of that tiny waist circumference. Dorian has a small waist in that video and it is also extremely detailed with zero distention. At his worst no one in history comes close to as bad as Ronnie when it comes to distention and a big waist. Out of the actual top guys of course.
Just as Ronnie looked fantastic in 98, Doz looks fantastic there. To say otherwise, is crap ;) ;D
-
Yup. Sorry buddy. Just Kevin is smaller everywhere else, making his arms look bigger.
Now scale dorians monsterous left bicep.

In transition shot much?
He wasn't distended, he had a wide waist, when NOT TENSING.
God your a fucking cock.

no, no distension at all

ps Ronnie had no gut when 'tensing' too.
its when its relaxed that it all hangs out:

What the f*** does Ronnie have to do with this? In 1993, he was busy placing 6th at the Niagara Falls Pro Invitational!
Yates is awesome here. When he bows at the end, his traps run along the length of his back so thickly they look like Devil's Peak!
He was even a better poser than I remember. When he hits that arm-behind-the-head shot with front bicep, you can feel it hit the audience.
-
Ronnie never looked like this
-
you're right.
he looked better and much less pancake like

hahaha what does drawing a line around their arms prove?
kev has superior shape and separation in the muscles
if bigger blocky looking ugly muscles are your thing then I can see why you would pick dorian

and just for the record when both were at their best RONNIE owned Dorian

Julian Schmidt on Dorian Yates at the 1992 Mr Olympia
There is NO ONE in the world who can touch Yates. In this show he was a brain-snapping 242 pounds , all of it expertly distributed. Against all the finalist , sensational though they were , Dorian possessed thickness and convexity in his back none can match. Even Levrone's triceps and legs , which had the bodybuilding community aflutter all year , paled in comparison with the same bodyparts on Yates. Where others might also boast size and striations , Dorian dominates them with stratifications as well. It's eerie how far this man takes the human physique.
Kevin like Ronnie was never close to Dorian even when Dorian wasn't at his best

I actually admire dorian, he is the only Olympia winner I know who could make he's left arm appear smaller in a front double bi than it was relaxed.
A true magician, or illusion..........?

if by "worse" you mean superior shape and separation I agree ;)
that waistline is a disgrace

You couldn't be any more wrong , I'm a huge Flex Wheeler fan I didn't bitch one bit when Ronnie beat him in 1998/1999 Earl you need to research before you make empty claims because you run the risk of looking like Hulkster and thats a bad thing.
-

Sure he was , sure he was lol
Quote Flex Dec 1995 Wink
" In 1994 , he ( Dorian ) was admittedly not at his best , but he was still the best bodybuilder onstage that day. No one not even runner-up Shawn Ray,disagreed with that stance on the night of Yates' threepeat. "

No I think he should have lost in 1997

Earl,
you are an idiot.
levrone was great, but he didnt have enough of anything to beat dorian.
if you prefer the smaller, shapely guys, that's fine and that's your opinion.
by the way, your opinion means shit.
-
No I think he should have lost in 1997
and yet he thinks he deserved to dominate in 94... ::)

i have to agree with nasser el sonbaty on 97, yates deserved to win.

1994 was NO contest only biased people with agendas disagree , Shawn Ray said Yates won that sums it up

Okay Kevin had a tighter smaller waist , that doesn't compensate for his lack of density & conditioning of and size lol

Earl is like Hulkster , they prefer their heros and think that they can't even be beaten , both are clueless as to how contests are judged and look at their hero's strengths and think WOW he should have never been beaten , ignorant both of them , there are rules and they favored Yates .
-
;)

What the lying , ignorant moron club? LMFAO
WOW, yates is blowing Ronnies doors on on that side tri shot :o

yup. looks like he lacks muscle seperation and shape compared to Levrone. ::)

No I think he should have lost in 1997
Why ???
SUCKMYMUSCLE

I can't believe Earl has spent this much time fawning over Levrone without being made to suffer at least one used-posing-trunks put-down.
This board is going downhill. :(
-
Why ???
SUCKMYMUSCLE
because he sucked.
hope this helps :)
-
because he sucked.
hope this helps :)
Just because he had a gut distension? What about Coleman in 2003 and 2004? His gut was way more distended than Dorian's, and yet he still won. Also, Dorian in 1997 was by ar the most muscular and dense guy ostage, so it was reasonable that he won. By the way, the question was directed at NarcissisticDeity, not you. And where are the innacuracies that you said you would point out in my posts at the truce thead? Still waiting. You're just bitter that I destroyed your hero one post at a time... ;D ;)

How about the rules that favor Yates ? you think a smaller waist and better biceps can compensate for his lack of density , conditioning and lack of size? the judges didn't think so either.

shut the fuck up. Seriously. Levrone was great, but he was so far behind Yates it's not even funny. Why do you think he had to inflate himself with esiclene?

Oh I see the judges are disgrace when the follow the criteria ::)
The comparisons of the compulsory poses cannot be overemphasized
as these comparisons will help the judge to decide
which competitor has the superior physique from the standpoint of
muscular bulk, balanced development, muscular density and
definition.
Yates has the clear advantage in size , density and conditioning , so all the rules should be ignored his Kevin's favor because YOU like the way he looks lol great logic.

LMFAO that goes to show you how far and ahead Yates was against Kevin he could beat him ( and everyone else ) despite having a torn bicep ;)
and his ' arm ' wasn't missing ONE bicep was shorter and not by much either ;) top is 1993 bottom 1994 NOT much of a difference , there goes your theory of " one arm "

-
Nasser and Yates were CLOSE competition!
Good choice posting only front pics ;) they were close alright lol
-
ND you must be joking with that last pic, hahah. nasser owns dorian from the front. and in that back shot his arms and delts are superior. not to mention the bigger and more ripped hams and glutes and it even appears based on the photo that his calfs are better. his back isnt even that much off.

Oh please NO one owned Dorian from the back , especially NOT Nasser

Nasser certainly comes pretty close. He's not as dry and tight, but he's measuring up in width and thickness for sure!!

Bodybuilding popularity has become stagnant over the years , I don't think theres been a growth or a decline , Lee Haney in his Olympia showings used to pose to around 6K people Ronnie 7K not much of a difference
-
Good choice posting only front pics ;) they were close alright lol
Lol, the front is half of the body, do you know about this? Have you heard about this? This is where your arguments achieve self-ownage. Of course it wasn't close from the back, but Nasser dominated from the front, ergo it wasn't as far off as all that, although I agree that with that back Nasser was never gonna actually win the thing. But to an unbiased observer unaware of the history and politics of these two competitors in these photos, Dorian is about the 5th best onstage from the front. You know it.
-
Good choice posting only front pics ;) they were close alright lol
No they were NOT close. Dorian was owned completely from the front.
I still believe Nasser and Dorian was a tie.
-
dorians, side chest, front double bi, and most muscular lose to nasser. ab and thigh goes to nasser in my opinon with better quad detail and seperation. front lat to dorian and the back poses. but from the bottom half in back poses, and delts and arms dorian loses to alot of guys. his back alone is good but ND keeps harping on proportion and balance and from the pic it is clear that nasser should have won.
-
why is it when dorian wins you agree with the judges but when ronnie or anybody else wins you don't agree ::)
E
Great question, but don't expect an honest answer.
-
looks like earl is a racist - like ronnie.
You and pubes are quick to call people racist when they don't agree with you. Maybe you're the one that is racist. Ever think of that?

He never dominated from the front , side , or back , he never came close to Dorian on the score cards , front double biceps you could give to Nasser post tear , ab-thigh Yates , front latspread close but Yates has the edge , side chest & triceps Dorian , every back shot Dorian , so lets give Nasser 2 poses he's still down all the others this isn't close like reality it wasn't close.

Yawn . 1994/1993 ONE bicep is shorter than the other not missing , his biceps were never outstanding to begin with , its not like he tore his best part A'la Coleman lat

93 top , 94 bottom , one bicep is shorter than the other and not by much

I really don't get this whole Dorian vs Ronnie thing. They're both Mr. O's sure, but neither one should ever rank among the best Mr. O's. Sergio, Arnold ('74), Haney ('85-88, '91) - THOSE guys were amazing.
Look at Arnold's size with such a small stomach/tight waist (and calves). And in '74 he actually had legs!

Quit living in the past. Haney was a soft 250lbs in 91. Dorian defeated him in muscularity despite being 12lbs lighter. Not to mention, in Dorian's book, he says its a good thing Haney retired in 91, becuase he would have defeated him in 92 ;) Haney was overrated.

Yeah, Dorian also said that Haney was born with a great back and had it easy whereas he (Dorian) had to work for his back. Please. i've seen the pics of him as a kid and maybe one in a million has a back like that after 1 year of weightlifting. his claims mean nothing.

Haney's back was no where near Yates, not in width, detail, condition, separation, nothing.
