By all means continue the mutterings they're hilarious.
Bottom line in one of his "best" poses the barrel loses on every criteria from detail and taper to polish to aesthetics to size.
LMFAO every criteria? we've already established Ronnie was never harder or drier than Dorian NEVER not in 98/01/99 you pick a year thats already two parts of the criteria he's down , Dorian is 269 pounds in the pic you posted there fore he carries more conditioned muscular bulk thats three he's down , Dorian's lats occupy more space between his arms , Dorian's balance & proportion are better than Ronnie that's two more he's down , and how can you have a great front latspread when your ass can be seen from the front? you can't because that's shitty proportion
the judges look for calves in this shot as well
Dorian has probably the best front latspread in the history of bodybuilding anyone who argues to the contrary is either ignorant & biased and in your case we know what you are
