that's like saying "what good is having balance and proportion when you lack size?" How many Mr. Olympias did Bob Paris win? Exactly. Don't downplay the importance of one criteria just to make your boy compare more favorably. Ronnie's thighs more than make up for his sub-par calves.
Ronnie's thighs are bigger, more shapely, and have better separations and striations.

Bad analogy Bob Paris lacked size , conditioning Dorian doesn't . No Ronnie thighs don't make up for his sub-par calves thats fantasy on your part they only serve to ruin his leg balance WOW WEE he has big quads does he have balanced legs? NO does he have any development in his calves NO two strikes kid , Ronnie is incomplete there is no escaping that and no matter how great his thighs were thats still a major liability compared to someone who has better balance & proportion , someone with better density & conditioning and someone who is complete
Ronnie's thighs are bigger, more shapely, and have better separations and striations.
Ronnie's thighs are more bigger sure , more shapely ? thats a matter of taste I personally don't think so better separations ? NO true thats a fallacy you people keep claiming and its simply not true , with the exception of the rectus femoris which Ronnie has a clear advantage in Dorian shows just as good separation in the other areas of the quads and better separation of the satorius and tensor fasciae latae but you're like Hulkster and only count the pluses and forget the minuses
Bottom line Ronnie may have better quads but does he have better legs? NO and why? worse calves of any Mr Olympia ontop of being injected with something , they lack any development and separation couple that with no proportion in relation to the quads and Ronnie is behind period , stop trying to accumulate parts Hulkster does this constantly heed your own advice and stop trying to downplay the importance of ALL THE CRITERIA
the pictures you posted Ronnie has the advantage in muscular bulk but is that bulk conditioned bulk? does it show great density? NO he's very good but Dorian is 269 pounds bone dry & rock hard but we'll still give the bulk advantage to Ronnie
does he have a advantage in conditioning & density ? NO Dorian's conditioning is legendary and Ronnie's isn't , he may have come close or matched Yates for that bone dry & rock hard condition but only when he was very light 247 pounds the heavier Ronnie became the more his conditioning suffered for it , hence why Peter McGough said at the 2003 Olympia that he prefered Ronnie's 01 ASC showing specifically because he was ' harder or more detailed '
See this is one advantage that you people will never be able to counter and try and try you guys have lol is balance & proportion there is NO contest between the two and never will be Ronnie is a collection of massive parts by his own admission his goal was to develop all the muscles to their maximum size potential regardless if they didn't match up proportion wise
Dorian would beat Ronnie because he has clear advantages in conditioning & density , balance & proportion , completeness and having the fewest flaws , Ronnie depending on the year has a clear size advantage but he's lacking in to many areas to beat Dorian , any size advantage would be rendered moot.
I love how people always break it down to parts , " Ronnie has better quads " but does Ronnie have a better abdominal and thigh pose? NO " Ronnie has a better chest " does Ronnie have a better side chest pose? NO " Ronnie has better arms " does Ronnie have a better side triceps shot? NO Dorian despite his flaws still looks outstanding in most of the mandatory poses , he has wider hips & waist than Ronnie and Coleman has the edge in taper but does Coleman have a better front latspread? NO
Ronnie does have some advantages in parts , clear cut advantages but overall does his parts make the superior whole? NO and why? they're always lacking in that balance & proportion .
