The thing is, anyone can pick quotes quotes from years ago they like and ignore the others that places them in a tight spot. It's up to those with experience of meeting these guys, dropping thousands flying around the world to watch them battle it out, meet them afterwards, check them out from closer (no homo) or watch them flex it out from 20 foot away (again, no homo). Ronnie appears fuller with rounded muscles from close up, Yates is a fucking piece of granite with layer of layer of muscle and wide as anything with this weird alien like wet tissue non existent skin. Just watching him sign autographs after a show seeing the tendons and muscles in his arms move in small ripple effects proves of dryness and shredded-ness no other body builder ever achieved. I used to go with guys from my gym to the Olympias but stopped going from '99 as standards across the boards was dropping (giving the back benchers from the 90's a chance to win something). The last of my pals stopped going in '07 as it was becoming too bad to watch, with the exception of Ronnie, Jay and perhaps Dexter. There was never any question amongst any of the guys that was there LIVE, Dorian wins hands down, ANY ERA.
Like I said before, I could not really care about either of them as Aaron Baker, Priest and Fux was always more approachable, willing to stop a few minutes for a chat and would ask about YOUR training, give tips and encouragement to any fans.
Either way Hulk, you don't know how wrong you are. But please, go ahead.
Edit.
Oh, Ronnie is your stud muffin? Show real objectivity. I guess you're fucked now. No fanboy can be objective.
