I think so too. I think over a few more years Victor Martinez and David Henry will have the backs everyone talks about for years. David Henrys lats go so low and it looks crazy.

Not really close at his prime . Ronnie is close to Yates but Haney had an amazing back but his erector spinae wasn't of Yates' caliber , then again neither was Ronnies . lol

Do you really believe that? or are you just being contrary? seriously you just don't make sense some times . I know you're a huge Coleman fan but you just go off on whims and make blanket statements.

Dorian's back in my opinion is probably better than Colemans , Samir Bannout said Ronnie had the second best back behind Dorian and he knows a great back and Ronnie in 2003 said Dorian had the thickest & freakiest back he ever seen .

Ronnie Coleman is the one who said " Jay must be on cack to think he can beat me , he better be born again wuth better genetics " so don't make excuses he said it , Samir said it and I said it . ;)

"going on" about Coleman is not out of place in a BACK thread.

Post by: Bear on July 24, 2006, 03:08:18 PM: Well he does have perhaps the greatest back ever, so I concur. I reckon not the thickest but the best.
