because I'm not there so the truce thread follows me like lost little puppies to every single thread I type in lol they need MY attention
Trust me ND. Nobody with an ounce of intelligence would follow you. You blather on and on about Yates. He had plenty of faults. His chest was weak compared to Coleman. His biceps were awful. His symmetry was non-existent after 1993 (although he was great in 1995, but I digress). Every bodybuilder has faults. Jay in 2006 looked very good; he deserved to win. He would have beaten Yates 2004, 2006 and 2007 without question. He is simply bigger with better striations. Jay of 2008 is a toaster. Dorian of 1997 was old and very close to losing if somebody would have come into the show in shape. If you think a 1993 could stand next to a 2003 Coleman and not get dwarfed you are an idiot. Dorian was 255 pounds. Ronnie was 286 pounds and every bit has striated. In fact, I would say that Ronnie had over 30 pounds of muscle on Dorian; I would bet you that their bodyfats were each less than 4-5%. Yes, it is debatable about who the judges would pick. I grant anyone that bodybuilding is a subjective, not objective, sport. Thus, a pro-Ronnie judging panel would have given him the show; same with Yates. After 1995 Dorian looked like shit. That is why he retired early. His receptors to drugs were failing and he came in looking a shadow of his former self (shadow of his former self...I amuse myself). At least he had the brains to get out before he got his ass handed to him. Ronnie stayed around a year too long.
