ron at 247 would look small next to 255-260 pound Yates (who would be in better condition too).
too bad there are numerous quotes from people that disagree
John Hansen, 2x Mr. Natural Universe and Mr. Natural Olympia"With his incredible thickness and muscle shape, Coleman doesn't need to weigh over 260 pounds on stage to look big. When he won the Arnold Classic last year, Ronnie only weighed 247 pounds but he looked like he weighed 20 pounds heavier."
Dexter Jackson – Getbig Interview 2004“I am not the gossip type. I let them do all the talking, and I let my physique back my talking up. I know Craig Titus was saying something like he knows that Lee Priest is 200 pounds, I’m 220 pounds, and he is 250 pounds, and all this shit, but what Craig does not realize is that his 250 pounds is not like Ronnie Coleman’s 250 pounds. See what I am saying? I think I have proven to everyone that size doesn't matter. You don't look at Craig and say 'whoa, that’s a big dude’. You might say that about Ronnie or Jay at 250, but not Craig.”
there's also a quote from Dorian about how numbers on a scale mean nothing; what matters is how big you look on stage
