RONNIE vs DORIAN video from mr olympia 1996...

[the shadow]

whos better....

[Hulkster]

cant really tell much from that video.

whoever posted it on youtube has the year wrong - its actually from 1996.

and I will say this: look how much Ronnie's back improved from 1996 to 1999

[whitewidow]

yates= untouchable.

[tweeter]

Yates looked better there; although, I think Levrone looked better than both.

shawn ray looked the best of the pack

[UK Gold]

Dorian and Nasser looked incredible there. You could see Ronnie was becoming a contender - but who would have thought he'd go on to become the third greatest bodybuilder in history [behind Dorian and Arnold]

ha ha... cue sulkster and punyster bolting for their excuses book.

fantastic, we can actually see before our very eyes the unedited, unspun ACTUAL comparison between yates and ronnie. case fucking closed.

ronnie does have amazing taper though and he looked a distant second best. it would have been a good contest if dorian wasn't there. kind of like letting the children compete.

No, compare Ronnie and Dorian at their peaks. Or If you really want to get technical, even though 1996 was yr onnie beat Flex at the Canadian Cup, try comparing the 1997 version of Dorian and Ronnie. Ronnie was just coming into the freak that he is now. Look at BFTO 97 and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Oh bloody hell, we're not having this "lets compare Ronnie and Arnold at their peaks" argument again.

The discussion is about 1996 - Dorian was far better than Ronnie that year. By a mile. End of story.

However, the guy who should ahve walked away with the Mr Olympia title that year was Shawn. Again, by a mile.

To me it did not even look close in that video. I am not a fan of any of these physiques. But in that video Doz DWARFS shawn and looks just as good with a better back and condition. Looks better in every single pose. Shawn looks like a toddler next to Doz and Dillet. It was not even close.

Coleman's back far wider than Yates, and that was only '96..

I agree, but I'm respodning to the "case F closed", which alludes to Dorian being better. Yes he was  good ion 90, actually, Ronnie shape was better than Dorian's. 

Shawn deserved the win...but with the Olympia it is not who deserves it.

  You are a moron of the highest caliber. Ronnie has a smaller waist than Dorian, so his back looks wider than it really is. Dorian's lats are wider and his back has superior separations. No contest. Dorian's overral muscularity at 255 lbs was simply greater than Ronnie's, because the latter's conditioning was off.
