The only time he didnt look flat in a olympia stage. Thats my favourite Dorian version, even with no arms.

And tricep, and quad I believe.
Poor Dorian was fucked up in 97.

Sometimes I think Nasser won 97, others I think Dorian did...
I probably would have given it to Nasser, Dorian was a shadow of his former self by 97.

92-96 though, was all Doz.

He was huge, but his conditioning was off and that left arm was hanging on by a thread. His calves looks bigger than his left arm.

Certain shots Nasser wins , front double biceps , standing relaxed from the front , comes close in the ab-thigh and may win it , but he loses just about everywhere else. I thought that some times Dorian should have lost but Nasser just doesn't beat em resoundingly regardless as to what fanboys claim , you have to K.O the champ and Nasser couldn't do it

92 O

5 Sandows

  Dorian in those shots: invincible. 283 lbs with a tiny waist, ripped to shreds, perfect muscular balance, great skeletal structure and as dry as Death Valley.

  That version of Dorian is the bodybuilding GOAT and would beat any bodybuilder ever with straight-firsts scores. Too bad Dorian never stepped onstage looking like that.

I couldn't give it to Nasser, even in '97.  He was a beast from the front, but Dorian smoked him from the sides and back ... sort of like he always did, only in this show, Dorian's back, delts and legs were MEGA-big in this contest.  Nasser's best shot was in '96, when he was stupid huge in the delts and legs and Dorian was so flat overall.

Mistake?
Yates won his 1st Sandow in 92
Last in 97.
You said, that in the 6 years before these pics were year that he was the best bodybuilder in the world. Which would be 91, when he faced Haney and LOST.

92-96 = 5 Mr Olympias (considering you said prior to 97). Yates has 6 sandows total.
Basic logic - 6 total Sandows not including 97 = 5
Whos the fake fan now bitch?
 ???
Lol.

During 6 years until 97. I didn't say "prior" I said "until", which include 97.
Means between 92 and 97.
so 6 years.

dorian definitely had the best overall leg developement when he was competing,nassers legs were a tad bigger,but dorian had better shape and bigger calves and more striated hams.

I attended a Dorian seminar/posing exhibition in Toronto mere weeks after he won the ... '95 O, I believe. No picture can ever do justice to what the man looked like in the flesh. He was roughly 285 he said and I have NEVER seen a physique like he had on that day. That the guy was flesh and blood was difficult to fathom, considering he seemed made of something other than human tissue. And his balanced proportions, hardness and muscle bellies were awe-inspiring.

Those who suggest the man didn't deserve the O title never saw what I did on that day, that's for sure.

Put Nassers and Dorians pics side by side and then tell me who won. Dorian has a disgustingly ugly physique, Nassers physique has a much better flow and balance to it with more size than Dorian's.

hahhaahha sure not.. how for example you give dorian the QT to the left with his missing arm?!!!.. imp the only poses dorian beat nasser in on that day were the 2 rear shots.. even his TM poses like the FLS and ST were clearly off!!..

so at least levrone or ray should have won!!.. i cant imagine how to crown a man with one whole missing arm as the top pro. bb!!!.. dorian's left arm was on that day was body destroying not building!!..

not underrated at all.. at his best dorian had great and complete lower body and his calves are from among the very best ever (if not the very best).. but IMO nasser's quads and hams were better..

Nasser looks amazing there and is actually hitting the FLS correctly there instead of crunching down on his abs which caused his lats to not have that "pop" look that Dorian had. Great pic.

Alright , we'll give Nasser the 1/4 turn to the left so he wins three poses maybe four with the ab-thigh , Dorian wins the rest so Nasser still loses  ;)

hehehehehehe Dorian only beat Nasser in two poses that day  ;D this is why you make a terrible judge  and don't know much about professional bodybuilding.

I might give The Not So Beautiful Googly-Eyed Man in Glasses the ab/thigh, but Dozzer took the front lat spread by a fair margin, demolished Nasser in the rear lat, rear double bi, side triceps and side chest while being VERY close on the ab/thigh.  The only pose Nasser dominated in was front double-biceps.  Great and important a pose as it is, Nasser later went totally overboard with oil, so I can't help but to wonder if he was using the shit in '97, too :\

Same thing with Ronnie. There were a few years where he would not fully hit the FLS and instead flex his chest and traps more than his lats, but in most years when he did hit it correct it would look better.
