Exactly. yates was a great champ, but Ronnie is just out of this world. I mean look at this. yates doesn't have the arms, delts and upper chest to pull this pose off. yates may hit the pose better than Ronnie, but that doesn't make up for missing bodyparts.
First of all he's not missing any bodyparts thats your fan-boy delusions rearing their ugly head again your ignorance keeps showing , keep this in mind in a professional bodybuilding contest all rounds are physique rounds seeing you don't have a clue what this means let me explain it to you ( yet again )
all rounds are physique rounds which means every single judging criteria is APPLIED all at once which includes muscular bulk , muscle density , muscle dryness , muscle balance , muscle proportion , and posing & presentation in every single pose so while Ronnie may have clear advantages in parts of the criteria as a whole he doesn't beat Dorian
So even in poses which YOU think ronnie had clear advantages in like the front double biceps shot he still gets beat because all rounds are physique rounds side chest for example which you claim he loses because of his ' arms delts & upper chest '
when you look at the side chest in profile does Ronnie 99 beat Dorian in posing & presentation? NO why? because he can't even do the pose correctly
does Ronnie 99 beat Dorian in muscular bulk? NO Dorian was 260 pounds in 1995 and 269 pounds in 1993 ( pre-contest ) Ronnie 1999 was 257 pounds
does Ronnie beat Dorian in muscle density & dryness? NO Dorian wrote the book on bone dry & rock hard conditioning he is the yardstick in which conditioned mass is measured by
does Ronnie 99 beat Dorian in muscle balance & proportion? NO his flaws compared to Dorian in the side chest are clearly evident calves to small for his quads , massively developed delts that obscure his pecs in this shot making them look small , forearms which aren't in proportion with his biceps/triceps , long arms in relation to his short torso just because you're willing to overlook this doesn't mean the judges are
So while Ronnie does have some advantages in this pose OVERALL seeing all rounds are physique rounds and ALL of the criteria is applied to each pose Dorian beats Ronnie clearly in the side chest shot in fact Ronnie himself said Dorian had the best side chest he ever seen ! and after all he is The Greatest Bodybuilder of All-Time
