During Nasser's prime, from the 95/96 Olympia to the 99 Arnold Classic, Nasser had better overall placings than Levrone, Wheeler, or Ray.

Ray only lost to Nasser in 1995 because he was off, had he looked the same as 94 for example he would of beaten Nasser in 1995 quiet candidly.
As for the 1999 AC he barely beat Levrone and alot of people had Nasser losing, turned out in the scorecards that he actually had lost a round. This wasnt a dominant win by any means.

Levrone had beaten Nasser many more times than the other way around

As Earl would say, Nasser fans Levrowned once again  8)

LOL, so if someone is "off" then the contest placing doesn't count, and we can assume that the person who is off won since had they not been off they may have won?  ::)

I'm not sure if you even read my post.  It was in response to someone saying that Nasser "routinely" lost to Ray, Wheeler and Levrone,  to which I pointed out that during Nasser's prime (95 Mr. Olympia to 99 Arnold Classic) Nasser had more impressive placings out of the four of them.  Levrone only beat Nasser at the 95 Mr. O, then never again until after the 99 Arnold Classic.  Ray beat Nasser at the 96 Mr. O, and then never again until after the 99 Arnold Classic.  Nasser beat Wheeler in 95, 96 and 97.

actually, he didnt.

nasser won the 99 AC, but that's about it.

after 98, levrone, wheeler, and ray all placed better than nasser at the olympia.

also, after 97, levrone beat nasser 7 consecutives times on the euro tour.

Looks like we have someone else who can't read either!  I'll repaste my qoute and bold the part that seemed to be over your level of comprehension :)

You're also wrong on the 97 Euro Tour claim of Levrone beating Nasser 7 times.  In the first three Euro Tour shows Nasser only got second to Dorian.  And how many Euro tour shows are there again?

Brutal truth. Dorian just jacked himself up with more insulin and HGH than any other in his era until they caught up with him. Even with all that, he still looked like shit unless he was hitting certain mandatory poses.

Here's an ab-thigh comparison - someone earlier said that Yates had the best ab-thigh pose. 



  Learn to read. I said Nasser had the smaller waist, but Dorian had the better abdominals and the widest lats in this pose. Which is true.

That 95 prejudging video is utterly incredible in terms of Yates' physique. The condition is absolutely unrivaled in this sports history.

  No, he had the best six-pack among the big bodybuilders by far. And that includes Nasser, Jean-Pierre Fux and Ronnie. Is it a mere coincidence that every Arabian/Muslim guy in this board is choosing Nasser over Dorian? I think not.

  What's your point? Dorian's abdominals are clearly more etched. Answer me this question: Are you denying that your preference for Nasser over Dorian has nothing to do with his ethnicity?

Regardless of one's ethnicity, only a blind man would say that Dorian's abs are better than Nasser's there.  Sure I share ethnicity with Nasser, but I can still admit that Dorian's back was wider - why can't you admit that Dorian's abs were worse, as well as thighs, arms, delts, and waistline?

I'd choose Levrone and Ray over blockman any day of the week.

Unbelievable difference in the delts, biceps, and triceps

The keg's arm looks about half the size of Nasser's, missing biceps and most of tris. :o

Dorian has wider lats there

I put the rolly eye emoticons after quoting Cigaretteman for claiming that Yates had the "best six pack" of the bigger guys.  In other words, the rolley eyes is referring to Yates worse six-pack, not his lat width.

It's an "ab-thigh pose," unfortunately most of the thighs are not caught in the pic.  However, just go one or two pages back to the pic that Camel Jockey posted for clear evidence that Yates' thighs were also inferior.

  I disagree. I couldn't tell that his left biceps/triceps were torn in the back double biceps or in the quarter turn from the sides.

  His front lat spread was still clearly the best in the show, and he looked great in the abs-and-thighs for a 270 lbs man.

Ofcourse you can tell they were torn. Just look at it. The bicep is non existent and the tricep is small and looks flat as hell. What pics are you looking at?

This pic is from straight on.

I have a video from the 1996 Grand Prix, i think the German one.

When Dorian turns around he is so far ahead he wins. Until you see the video you don't realise.
Stuff the pictures.

but in 96/97, when he turned and faced front, he got owned.

his back was still good though. but his arms (torn) were pretty bad from the back, as we can see.

i have the 97 olympia tape that ESPN showed in the summer of 97.

nasser looked great, but when turned to the side and back, yates owned him.

plain and simple. 

nasser would win the front double bi, mm, and maybe abs and thighs - everything else, yates.
