Ah nice job posting ONLY part of the quote
" Thats very hard for me to answer , I'd probably , Ronnie would probably beat me I guess , I don't know
nice try thats not as definitive as this
Jim: What would have happened last year if Dorian Yates (recently retired winner of 6 straight Mr. Olympias) had competed?
Ronnie: Dorian would have won again.
Jim: You think so?
Ronnie: I know so. Dorian has a big physique - hard- and he's been the man to beat, and its hard to knock the champion off the block. He's a big guy and has a lot going for him. He overcame so many adversities, like his torn biceps, I couldnt see too much else stopping him.
there is NO " I guess I don't know " , Ronnie states matter-of-factly Dorian would keep winning , Ronnie even says he doesn't think so , he knows so !! big difference kid
I will post quotes from Priest & McGough ect that back up my claim however they all pale in comparison to Ronnie Coleman 
thats all that matters and not only did Ronnie state this before the 1999 Mr Olympia he also said it the other last Monday night lol again YOUR HERO crushed your opinions outright and Flex Wheeler lmfao his opinion leaves a lot to be desired , he's the same genius who had Ronnie winning the whole pre-judging of this past Olympia
Special Ed : Ronnie of Dorian competed in 1998 would you have smoked him?
Ronnie Coleman : NO I think he would have kept on winning as long as he competed I don't think he would have lost.
Yates when asked the question
4. A lot of people say that you are the only pro bodybuilder that could go head to head with Ronnie Coleman. Like him, you were the only other to be able to gain so much mass in one year. What are your thoughts on this?
A. I get asked that question all the time, and I can’t really give an answer. I have actually beaten Ronnie, but then he wasn’t at the stage he is now. He is probably carrying more muscle than I did, but I feel I had better conditioning than him. It would be close but that’s down to the judge’s decision as always. All the things that we have in common – Lee Haney, Ronnie Coleman and myself – is that we are all stable mentally, training hard, not messing around partying. You have to keep the focus and it’s usually the mind that is the deciding factor, over physical capabilities.
Peter McGough
While I’m on record as saying that the best physique I ever saw was Ronnie’s at the 2001 Arnold, he was never drier or harder than Dorian. In fact now that – 14 years after it happened – I recently for the first time saw the video of Dorian posing before the 1993 Olympia I have cause to rethink. I’m now not sure that Ronnie at 245 pounds would beat Dorian at 269 pounds. At a bigger bodyweight I think Ronnie would look soft next to an in-shape rock-hard Dorian.
On the subject of conditioning, no-one did it better than Dorian. He achieved a hardness and dryness (without losing fullness) that nobody has ever matched. In the flesh he looked even harder than he did in photos. It was like a statue made of granite was standing in front of you.
Lee Priest
HOW DO YOU FEEL DORIAN WOULD FAIR AGAINST RONNIE COLEMAN NOW?
I think Dorian at his best (1993) would easily beat Ronnie. Dorian might not be as symmetrical as Ronnie, but all over he was more complete and in better condition at his best.

" When I saw Ronnie Coleman backstage before the prejudging , it was looking at ' three-D ' again. He looked fantastic. But I think if Dorian ( Yates ) were competing he would have won the show . "
All that matters is Ronnie Coleman not once but twice on gone on record and said he couldn't beat Yates this renders anything you have to say moot ! in chess its called check mate.
First of all yates admitted Ronnie would win. It doesn't matter how he said it. All that matters is, he said Ronnie would beat him.
See, that's the thing you still can't get through your empty head. We all have quotes contradicting each other on every subject. What makes a quote from Ronnie and Peter more credible than a quote from yates, Flex, Matarazzo and J.M. Manion? Nothing does. A quote is worthless only if it is proven to be a fact. Which in your case it can not be proven and it is not a fact. There were quotes ages ago stating that the world was flat. Do you believe it? I guess you would, since all you do is rely on quotes.
Remember this:
A quote is worthless only if it is proven to be a fact. All we have are pics and videos and let's see you prove your point that a 97' yates would beat a 98/99 Ronnie using pics and videos, since your quotes are worthless anyway. On top of that yates didn't even compete after 97, LOL. This would be fun to see.
By the way, here is quote from Milos:
Milos Sarcev states that
Ronnie has the best back in history. He also competed against both guys at their prime:
http://www.maxmuscle.com/index.cfm?fa=article&doc_id=22&subcat=body_building"One Max Muscle employee said, "You have to see him now to truly appreciate what he's bringing to the show." But Coleman was hard to catch: Between training and working his beat fulltime, he had little time to promote himself. Still, most insiders remained unconvinced. Only Milos Sarcev, in his evaluation of Mr. Olympia contenders in the last issue of Max Muscle, saw Coleman as having a good chance:
"At this time, Ron has the best back in the history of the sport," said Mishko, "even better than Benoit and Haney, or Dorian. Ron's thicker, wider, more pleasing. With his big arms and a double pump pose, he could use both his back and his front to win it."
Is this quote true? According to you it must be true since you love quotes, but I wouldn't expect you to agree with it since you love to pick and choose which quotes to accept. The point is, quotes can be used to a minimum in an argument, but it still doesn't prove shyt with out pics and videos to compare.
You can compare quotes and not compare with pics all you want if that makes you happy.
