yup. its not even close. ronnie raised the bar far above dorian.
are you reading this nuthuggers? 
Another one of your empty claims , seeing you posted 1999 how did he ' raised the bar far above dorian ' ? how another just flat-out blanket statement with no elaboration
did Ronnie 1999 raise the bar in terms of muscular bulk compared to what Dorian exhibited? NO 1999 he was 257lbs , Dorian was 257lbs in 93 and 260lbs in 1995 so when you typed he raised the bar far above Dorian it's a lie
Did he raise the bar as far as conditioning goes? short answer hell NO especially NOT in 1999 which was a step behind 1998 and 2001 , so again another lie on your behalf , did Ronnie surpass Dorian in terms of density & dryness while carrying more muscular bulk? NO
Did Ronnie surpass Dorian in terms of muscle balance & proportion? Ummmmmm NO again his flaws in this area became more pronounced the heavier he became , so when you type he raised the bar above Dorian it's another lie
Did Ronnie raise the bar in terms of posing & presentation compared to Dorian? NO his posing was pathetic , so when you say he raised the bar it's yet another lie
Did Ronnie raise the bar above Dorian in terms of competition he faced? NO all guys that Dorian dominated who when past their primes gave Ronnie a handful of trouble
So when you type that he raised the bar beyond what Dorian did and raised it FAR beyond it's a blatant lie and nothing more than a gross overstatement.
Dorian was 257 pounds in 1993 while being hard as nails and dry as hell with better balance & proportion and he was a better poser who faced stiffer competition closer to their primes , SO Ronnie raised nothing , Ronnie played follow Dorian's leader
