For Those Saying Nasser Should Have Won...

[CigaretteMan]

  Here is the video of Yates' posing routine from the 1996 Olympia. Observe how Yates has a superior front lat spread and abs-and-thighs shot than Nasser. This should put to rest the nonsensical claims that Nasser was better than Dorian from the front. In reality, he was only better from front in the symmetry round. From the back, Yates' back was thicker, harder and more detailed than Nasser's. He also looked even more sickly dry and hard in person than in this video - I know because I was there.

  Cluttering? This is my first thread here. And I should expect that from a guy who has as his signature "proud to be a member of team Nasser".

the evidence suggests otherwise according to this picture, Nasser is DESTROYING Dorian here.

  A video is superior as evidence than a photo, and seeing it in person is even better than seeing it on video. I was there, and it wasn't close. Again, no one booed when Dorian was announced first, and you can clearly hear the cheers of the crowd during his posing routine.

I gonna have to agree with Squadfather


cute video though
those phone sound effects were super

hahhahaa, i love all the excuses from you clowns, "Dorian maybe half Nassers size but his "hardness" is superior", "Dorian may have 17 inch torn arms but his "bacK" is better", "Nasser was disqualified from the diuretics test so it doesn't matter that he absolutely SMOKED Dorian", "there was a full moon that night and everyone knows that Dorians arms looked like Jocelym Pelletier's on a full moon night".

I love how Dorian supporters always bring up his 'hardness, graininess and paper thin skin' but all of these are only apparent if you saw him in person

Ohh man, i too used to believe ronnie is better than Tbhe Dozer, but the quality, density, hardness, detail, balance Dorian brought to the table is simply amazing. Just look at the hams/quads seperation, its fantastic. Build like a real dozer with those gigantic front lats! Ofcourse he had some flaws, but which bodybuilder is perfect.Dorian is best of the rest.



Dorian in his prime is clearly untouchable.

His quality rockhard muscle is one of a kind and i dont think we will ever see it again.

Best bodybuilder and genetics in my book.

  Dude, for the last fucking time, learn to read and pay attention. I was there. If Nasser won, as you guys keep saying, then why didn't the audience boo the decision? Why did Nasser lose even the front mandatories? Because the judges were biased? Let me tell you that the crowd cheered more for Yates when they were compared in the muscularity round doing the front mandatories. Now, the crowd did cheer more for Nasser when they were standing relaxed from the front in the symmetry round, but that is a small part of the contest. Overral, Yates slaughtered Nasser. Deal with it. And I'm not making excuses for Dorian. He doesen't need them because he won with straight-firsts scores both the symmetry and muscularity rounds, so it's not like it was a close call and the judges gave Dorian a gift. And I am not a biased Yates lover like this Big Bobs is of Nasser. I couldn't care less about either, but I'm just telling you what I saw there.

hahahaha, the infamous time tested, "Dorian looked totally different in person" excuse.

Not sure what the video "proves" since it's just Dorian alone and he's not being compared to Nasser.  Find comparisons if you want to prove a point.  When it comes to actual comparison pics or videos between the two, Nasser destroys Dorian.

  You didn't even bother to read the rest of my post...

You know guys like squadfather only look at the mass that a bb brings to the stage. If that was the case ruhl would have multiple mr o's. But if you look at dozer's appearance it appears that he is hard as a rck with plenty of mass. He doesnt even have to flex, when he walks his front delts do the talking! Guys like ronnie, wheeler and cutler look like made out of soft gubblebum compared to ''The Dozer''

[Noel Fuller]

Why dont you show a pic with Dorian in the pose instead of Dorian in a half pose.

  It's easy to look at that video of Yates, then look at Nasser, and compare. It is not an absolute requirement for them to be standing side by side. By looking at the video, I can tell that Dorian wins the abs-and-thighs and front lat spread over Nasser. That's 2 of the 3 front mandatories. He also wins the back lat spread and the back double biceps(Nasser's back might be as wide, but Dorian's is thicker, more defined and harder). Yates also wins the side triceps and in my opinion the side chest as well. Yates also wins the symmetry round from the sides and the back. Nasser wins the front double biceps and the symmetry round from the front. Period! No wonder Yates won the contest with straight-firsts scores both the muscularity&symmetry rounds, and no one in the audience booed the decision. And for the record, I've seen a video of Yates and Nasser being compared in the mandatories side by side at the 1995 Olympia, and Yates slaughtered Nasser.

Yates was the better bodybuilder overall, but not at the 1997 Olympia.  I would have to have my pumpkin turned backwards to believe otherwise.

MR YATES WAS A ONE OF A KIND UNIQUE QUALITY BB, A 260 POUNDS DOZER THAT WOULD CRUSH A 300 COLEMAN POUNDER. NUFF SAID.
