Ronnie never said Dorian was better than him.
What he said was "he would have kept on winning"...those of us with an objective point of view and a brain read between the lines 
he won in 97 which was a joke...so I can see where Ronnie would say that. If he can win with a torn bi and tri, apparently the physique you bring on stage isn't the only factor
BTW when asked if Ronnie would beat him, Dorian said "yeah, i guess he would".....but that doesn't count in ND-land 
The old semantics game huh? Ronnie never said Dorian wasn't better than him , he didn't say a lot of things but like I said angry fan boys hates that Ronnie conceded to Dorian multiple times , when he said he was robbed by the system when Gunther beat him and Jay Cutler would need to be re-born with better genetics to beat him , yet never uttered anything close to that concerning Dorian ever wonder why?
And you never elaborated on how it's a
fact Dorian lost the 1997 Mr Olympia and how your opinion somehow becomes fact when you chastised others for claiming the same , I'm still waiting for your answer Mr Hypocrite

And the Dorian quote isn't accurate , you omitted the part we he said
I guess , I don't know that's indecisive this isn't learn the difference
Special Ed : Ronnie if Dorian competed in 1998 would you have smoked him?
Ronnie Coleman : NO I think he would have kept on winning as long as he competed I don't think he would have lost. no indecision concise and right to the point ( let me preface this by saying just because he says so doesn't mean it's true , however his opinion on the subject sure as fuck trumps any fanboys )
Taken out of FLEX nov 1999, page 90. interview by jim schmaltz with ronnie before the 99 Olympia.
Jim: What would have happened last year if Dorian Yates (recently retired winner of 6 straight Mr. Olympias) had competed?
Ronnie: Dorian would have won again.
Jim: You think so?
Ronnie: I know so. Dorian has a big physique - hard- and he's been the man to beat, and its hard to knock the champion off the block. He's a big guy and has a lot going for him. He overcame so many adversities, like his torn biceps, I couldnt see too much else stopping him.
This is even more definitive ,
Jim: You think so? Ronnie: I know so. and he elaborates on why , Dorian has a big physique ( muscular bulk ) hard ( density ) and he was the man everyone tried to beat , again he references his muscular bulk and he has a lot going for him , not one mention of politics like the 2002 Show of Strength , not one mention of him not being in his league like Jay Cutler
It absolutely kills ANYTHING any fanboy can type and it absolutely kills them to see their hero admit that he feels Dorian would beat him

after all Dorian is a guy who routinely beat him for years on end and Dorian was the most dominate bodybuilder , Ronnie is very smart for seeing who is the better of the two
