You're the one that brought the 97 O into the argument in the first place when you said Dorian beat Ronnie in 97, just a year away from his best. I'm not the one fixating on it, fact is Ronnie improved a lot after 1997. His conditioning was top notch in 1998 and despite what his weight was, he looked a bit bigger on stage. You know that bb its not so much about how much weight you carry, but how you carry it.
Do you realize that when Dorian was asked the question on who would win between him and Ronnie, he was a lot less certain than you are?
You are always arguing on why Dorian would beat Ronnie for a fact as far as judging criteria, but Dorian himself is not sure.
Dorian said he has Ronnie on balance & proportion and conditioning, but he is still not sure on who would win. That means what? Of course that Ronnie has advantaged of his own that make it very close.

yeah I did as proof that he wasn't that far away from his best as Hulkster likes people to believe , he likes to bring up the fact that when Dorian was beating him , guys like Porter Cottrell and Charles Clairmonte were ( 1994 ) when he was 228lbs which isn't the case , Ronnie improved in 1997 to 1998 in conditioning and nothing else.

he was a lot less certain than me? ever think that he hasn't given it as much thought as I have? and was asked the question off the top of his head? Dorian isn't sure? Ronnie is sure

are you mistaken Dorian's reluctance to give an answer as self doubt? Dorian is a winning machine the guy won almost 90% of the contests he entered , statistically Dorian would be the odds on favorite to win , Ronnie never once faced anyone like Dorian , anyone who can match him on size , back and have better balance & conditioning and a better poser to boot
98 Ronnie just barely beat Flex and this is Ronnie at his best Olympia showing EVER Dorian trounced Flex when he was as close to his prime as he could get , Flex never looked as good as 1993 and Dorian utterly crushed him , Ronnie 98 could not beat Dorian he just couldn't
