ya ever notice that with all the bullshit "Ronnie vs. Dorian" threads here, you never hear a thread that compares Yates with Cutler?
If Jay is supposed to be new champ, the one who unseated Ronnie, the best the bodybuilding world has to offer... why is it no one bothers to try to put him on Dorian's pedestal?
(This is just one asian guy's opinion, sorry ronnie)
There'a a very simple explanation for that. Ronnie was unseated because he was almost 43 and off in conditioning. This is about comparing peak forms. At their best, Ronnie and Dorian are so far above Cutler that it isn't even funny. No, seriously, it is cruelty. It isn't even a discussion.
Cutler is slightly bigger than both Ronnie and Dorian at their bests, but that's the only thing that Cutler has on Coleman and Yates. Both Ronnie at 249 lbs and Dorian at 260 lbs - their respective bests - are so much more symmetrical, proportional, hard and have such superior structures than Jay that it is almost like comparing the pros to the amateurs.
Even at his worst, at the 1997 Olympia, Dorian was hard as granite at 270 lbs and had clearly separated abdominals and serratus, besides that his back was more separated, much, much harder and even thicker than Cutler's - only the 2003 Coleman has a back as thick as the 1997 Dorian.
Cutler at only 5 lbs heavier is bloated, soft as marschmellow, has little separations and the worst midsection ever. Arguing Dorian vs Ronnie is acceptable, but Dorian vs Jay is retarded. Sorry.
