I give up, you're right Ronnie was carrying too much subcutaneous fat in 2003....30lbs worth rendering his blatant and significant size advantage an illusion.
The difference between '98 and 2003 was Ronnie being 'on' and Ronnie being 'off', so Ronnie was 'off' in 2003 right?
Furthermore I now realise Dorian's glutes and hams are just as good as Ronnie's. There is no muscle Ronnie has developed more than Dorian....not even biceps, quads (look at the sartorius!)hams, glutes, chest or delts.........and recycling words like "density" from quotes in the mid-90s actually overrides all visual evidence, apart from grainy black and white pics of course, rendering it "no comparison".
Ronnie "doesn't compare" to Dorian, bwahaha, the king of superfluous hyperbole strikes again.
I hate lowering myself to this name calling rubbish at the expense of rational debate. I respect your intelligence but sometimes you are a complete joke.
then to quell all of this nonsense about a weight advantage we'll use Dorian precontest 1995 283lbs , harder & drier than Ronnie at that weight , better balance & proportion , more complete so like Ronnie YOU still lose
= Sad desperate projection of a phantasy stage showing. Torn biceps, sorry "one biceps shorter than the other", only 1 witness whose statement you hang everything on, and 1 studio b/w pic. I really can't believe you made such a meal of the 99 darkened pics when your whole dream is based on a single b/w studio pic which only recently emerged, completely mental. At least Ronnie was on a stage. You don't even feel the need to see any back shots of Dorian from the 95 shoot, yet profess total knowledge of the judging criteria.
I feel I've more than shown myself to be your match when it comes to level-headed analysis but you too often exaggerate things. In 98 aparently all the Kevins and Shawn Rays and Nassers and Flexes ceased to be a decent standard of competition, the glory days ended for you, it became easy to win the Olympia, you didn't even need balance and proportion or condition, none of the same things Dorian needed in his era - which according to you is actually Ronnie's era too
Mental.

No the size advantage wouldn't be an illusion but it's not the advantage you wish it would be , especially considering it's not dense muscle
Ronnie 2003 was off in terms of density & dryness compared to 1998/2001 and Dorian absolutely no , if ands or buts about it

The old I can't back up any of my claims so I'll just post a sarcastic retort to try and distract you from the fact , I'll ask again WHAT muscle in the hams strings does Ronnie have developed , separated and detailed that Dorian does not? answer the question don't try and post your way out of it. same with glutes Ronnie's are striated , Dorian's are striated yet Ronnie's are somehow better ? elaborate on this how?
Ronnie "doesn't compare" to Dorian, bwahaha, the king of superfluous hyperbole strikes again.
no superfluous hyperbole , just facts Ronnie 2003 does NOT compared to Dorian in terms of density & dryness in 2003 it's not open for discussion or debate , if you think otherwise back up your claim , and speaking of ' superfluous hyperbole ' Ronnie has no missing bodyparts '

and Ronnie has ' better hams and glutes just trust me on that one '

I hate lowering myself to this name calling rubbish at the expense of rational debate. I respect your intelligence but sometimes you are a complete joke.
ironic I feel the same about you especially after claiming he had no missing bodyparts lol but I don't respect your intelligence because on this topic like Neo and Hulkster you've shown none

Well this I admittedly am going based only on Kevin Horton's words on the subject and that pic looks outstanding BTW , Kevin Horton already said he has NO stake in this argument and he never picked a side , so I will take his word until it's proven wrong otherwise
Just because he's not onstage doesn't mean anything , and FYI he was onstage that year albeit lighter and still set everyone on stage on their ass

my match?

are you kidding me? you don't even know how contests are judged how can you be my ' match ' ? that statement is ridiculous to the point of being offensive

you would have to know how contests are judged , set aside your personal preference ( Dorian isn't even my favorite bodybuilder ) and be objective , you've shown you can't do that by claiming absurd things like he has no missing parts lol you're biased , ignorant and make overstatements , out of the two of use I'm sure as hell all of the above compared to you , Neo , and Hulkster
98 Ronnie faced some pretty stiff competition but this proves my point at what Ronnie considers his best Olympia showing ever 1998 he only beat Flex by 3 points one of the closest Mr Olympia contests to this day !! if Ronnie was never in the 1998 Mr Olympia and Dorian 1993 was he would have murdered that whole line-up with ease there would be no close contest or any contest
Flex , Kevin , Shawn , Nasser all hit their prime showings in Dorian's hey-day . Kevin 1992/1995 Shawn 1994/1996 Nasser 1995/1996 Flex 1993 , look at 2002 Kevin looked like shit compared to 1995 and still took it to Ronnie ( he won both the posing rounds ) 1995 Kevin would have beat Ronnie 2002
Ronnie's 'era ' began only when Dorian walked away if he didn't have injuries Ronnie wouldn't have an era
