haha, who said anything about an internet challenge? No offense but you would actually have to be a threat to be a challenge. I was just encouraging you to enter if you think you're physically better than me in any way.
I couldn't care less if you don't think I can match wits and intellect with you. Anyone with a brain knows my logic and argumentative skills are far beyond yours. All you do is evade tough questions and pick which quotes to accept or ignore.
case in point:
explain why I should believe the judges that Dorian was the largest guy onstage when the pics clearly show he wasn't, yet you won't believe Joe Weider - the founder of the IFBB and the guy who wrote the judging criteria - who agrees that Ronnie had the greatest physique of all-time.
Joe Weider - IFBB Co-Founder
"Many experts, including reigning Mr.Olympia, Jay Cutler, believe that at his best Ronnie has the greatest physique of all-time. When looking at pictures of Ronnie from the 1998 Mr.Olympia, I find it hard to argue with that."

You did right here
ah well, I'm off to the gym. I'll let ND and Mr.1derful continue posting in my absence. Who knows... maybe I'll compete in the next Mr. Getbig. I've put on a lot of size and worked on my weaknesses since MG2. I would encourage ND to enter since he claims he's bigger than me but I know he'll just come up with an excuse to pussy out.again ranks right up there with pumpster's Bowflex bench-off beyond gay. And you don't know if I'm a threat of not so you can't say either way you're working under assumption and we all know what they say about that. And this statement reveals alot about your inferiority complex
I was just encouraging you to enter if you think you're physically better than me in any way. I never claimed to be better than in ' physically ' this is my original quote in response to you calling me ' little man '
and I'm taller and heavier than you who are you calling little man? little manand you balked at the idea I'm both taller & heavier than you
bwahaha, suuure. like it's out of the realm of possibility that I might be taller than 5'7" and weigh more than 180 lbs ( or whatever you are )
the fact you came to the conclusion that I'm claiming to be physically better than proves YOU think I am hence you jumping to conclusions and threw in a nice dash of pathetic reverse psychology lmao that if I don't accept your internet challenge I would be a pussy in front of all of GetBig
I really am laughing my fucking ass off ! you'll never see my pictures online because I'm not in the least bit insecure , I don't need validation , admiration and ' internet respect ' I don't dress like a ' muscle head ' I'm not a show off , I'm secure and don't have any desire to impress anyone which is the polar opposite of you mainly due to your insecurities and your inferiority complex ( most likely from your childhood and your short stature ) I've seen your pictures and you look good keep up the good work but don't forget to work on the inside as well as the out

I couldn't care less if you don't think I can match wits and intellect with you. Anyone with a brain knows my logic and argumentative skills are far beyond yours. All you do is evade tough questions and pick which quotes to accept or ignore.
I never ran from anything you are anyone else typed ever hence why I'm pushing 30K posts , so much for that theory

you use weak , faulty logic , try and bog down the argument with semantics when pushed on your nonsense , ad populum appeals and stawman comparisons you run the gambit of the intellectually bankrupt and I've addressed every single quote you ever posted as well and the irony of you of all people claiming people pick & choose quotes something you're guilty of

again I don't care if you believe the judges of not I have nothing to prove to you. The onus is on YOU disputing their claim ( more of your faulty logic at work ) anyone with half a brain knows two dimensional pictures are absolutely NO substitute for actually being their live & in person and because pictures are just glimpses in the whole series of events , they aren't accurate compared to being there for a host of reasons , lighting , angle , depth , height , if one guy is posing or not , if one guy looks better than he does live then he does on film or print , I mean there are a host of reasons why picture don't prove what you think they do and the fact you're content with just taking what you see for granted even though it contradicts ( to some extent ) what an eyewitness claimed shows just how limited and unintelligent you are
This is where logic comes into play , either you are right or a multitude of trained IFBB judges are , either there is the highly conscientious plot to push this idea that Dorian appeared to be bigger than men who weighed more than him or he just might and photos just don't convey that which do you think is logical? what does Occam's razor dictate?
Quote from John Balik, commenting on the 96 O:
"Dorian Yates looked absolutely fantastic. He was so freaking dense and so freaking ripped and dry, that he actually looked bigger than all the 280 lbs competitors, even though he tipped the scales at 255 lbs."
Quote from Lou Ferrigno, after the 1993 O:
"Dorian won. He is as big as I am, but with a better overall frame. I knew I was competing for second place the minute he stepped onstage." This from a member and one part rings true in your case

Hulkster, I have one question for you? .... Were you there in Long Beach in 97? Because I was. AND I was there in 93 & 95 in Atlanta & 96 in Chicago. It's been said a million times. Yates has a Thickness & density from every angle that had to be seen in person, and that NOBODY else had.
I think Milos is awesome. I would LOVE to have his body, but Yates smoked everybody in the totality of ALL poses. From the side & from the back, yates crushed everybody.
Unless you were there, you cannot really say accurately. BTW, Demilia gave me tickets right behind the judges every year.
Not flaming, but Yates reigned supreme.. YES. HIS GUT was sticking out in 97 & Nasser looked as good, or maybe a hair better from the front in 97, but when they turned to the side & rear, DORIAN ruled again.Unless you were there, you cannot really say accurately. this applies to you all day long
Mr Gethin GetBig Steptember 10 , 2007
Beat Ronnie fare and square on the european tour...Huh? Were you there? Did you know anyone who was there, or are you speculating via pics? I'm a contest photog and can tell you that pics dont always give a true depiction.This guy is a contest photographer by the way
Flex magazine Jan 1992 on Dorian Yates
" Dorian has the type of physique that looks much better and more powerfull in person than photos. I personally saw him onstage , and Yates if definitely light years ahead of the way he looks in photos.
MuscleMag International Feb 1994 on Dorian Yates at the 1993 Mr Olympia
" He's huge , absolutely HUGE ...he's ripped completely RIPPED. And while he's not in possession of the prettiest physique body by a long shot , he's equipped with all the bodyparts you need to win .
Combine this with the fact that he's 10 TIMES more impressive when you see him onstage at the Olympia than he is in pictures or on videos and you got yourself a winner.I.F.B.B. judge Roger Schwab
Man-mountain Dorian Yates was certainly the top gun in the 1993 Mr Olympia shootout. He was much bigger , better and harder than ever , and while his is never the prettiest physique on stage , he's assuredly the most God-awful muscular superman this sport has yet seen. Though Yates was lighter than Lou Ferrigno or Paul Dillett , he appeared to be the biggest man on stage-by far- and the hardest , dominating from beginning to end and every step in between.IFBB judge mind you
" Chris Cormier standing next to Dorian onstage he sensed ' radiation coming off him , like an aura. ' The power of that muscle was tangible. It exerted a force all of its own. Cormier thought ' I might as well forget about this guy and concentrate on being second. ' There was something else , too , strange. You had to witness him in the flesh. such granite hradness had a property that could nor be held on film or caught on paper. You had to see it live.
Bob Chick GetBig Jan 15 , 2007
The judges made their decision based on what they saw live and in person. Pictures mean nothing as they can be deceiving...Peter McGough Flex Magazine May 2002
Let it be said that the camera can lie at physique contests. Some guys look great onstage but not so great on final film (Dorian Yates, for one) and vice versa (Shawn Ray is an example).Dorian Yates interview bodybuilding.com 2008
Everyone who sees my physique in person always comments on how much better I look in person than in pictures. That's because my physique is thick and developed from all angles. From the front, from the back, from the side, standing on my head: it doesn't matter. Everywhere is fully developed from every angle. And this might not show in one-dimensional photos. When you turn somebody to the side and they are twice as thick as everyone else, then that shows up.Now either all of these people have conspired to create this illusion Dorian appears bigger than guys much bigger and he appears better live than in person and pictures pale in comparison to being there or it's true . If that doesn't make sense in your head than you're senseless and can't/wont see beyond your own ignorance/bias and stupidity
Now onto the topic of Joe Weider he never claimed Ronnie had the best physique of all time he said it's hard to argue with the assessment , there is a difference you see what you want in quotes ! and FYI the judging criteria was around BEFORE Joe Weider contests were being held long before the IFBB ( try reading sometime ) ever hear of the Greek Ideal? you think the Weider's created that?
Now if he says it does it make it true? NO he's not an IFBB judge and what makes his opinion more correct than that of Ronnie himself? who disagrees ? or others who claimed it? the funny thing is he's right when he says Ronnie's physique is arguable the best ever in 1998 and NOT 2003 which you claimed reminds me of how you said if you're bound to one quote you are bound to ALL I'm sure you agree that 1998 is better than 2003 as well
case in point #2:
explain why I should believe Peter McGough's opinion that Dorian had the best conditioning ever, yet you don't agree with his assessment that Ronnie has the best back of all-time.
Peter McGough - Flex, December 2006
"The best back ever lacked its eye-popping detail and fullness." (in reference to Ronnie at the 06 Mr. Olympia)The whole back issue is arguable the conditioning isn't , they said Dorian had the best back of the 20 century that includes Ronnie 98/99 so it's arguable , Team Flex said Stubbs has the best back compared to both I'm sure you agree with them too? if not than trow out all their quotes for pro-Ronnie ( under your own logic )
to this day many people still say Dorian's back is better and I agree but in the end it's arguable , depends on what's important to them
