Ronnie Coleman is the best bodybuilder of all time.
I cant understand how ppl think that Dorian looks better in any way.

The debate is not who looks better, it's how the IFBB judging criteria would be applied to them.

It's also about taking the worst photos of one and putting them next to the best of the other.

Oh, and name calling. Lots of name calling.

Anyway, looking at those gifs side by side you can see how Yates could, in theory, make coleman look soft during certain years.

Coleman had no calves, zero hamstring and falling pecs ..

indeed Yates is much more complete with better density and conditioning

The left side of Yates' back is very impressive.

Yip and better abs, Triceps, skeletal structure, back 50/50 ether way Yates the edge on Consistent Total back conditioning, Coleman Quad SIZE, Hamstrings debatable both had advantages in size or condition, Forearms Debatable 50/50, and both @ their peaks Yates for the all round balance IMO, Forget the fact that Coleman was Bigger the Conditioning factor would always IMO be the edge Yates would have on a prime Coleman, 1998 Coleman Vs Yates in 93 would be a Very close call a contest between the 2 @ their best would be alot closer than alot here think imo....Depends just what the hell the Judges are going for....Outrageous size, full blown muscle bellys etc, or the Complete Balance of the physique with unbelievable Conditioning

That comparison proves the opposite.

one should print out these comparison pics to actual size and put them upright against a wall to really appreciate the size difference

these pics are so small that it seems the difference is not very substantial

you realize Ronnie is bigger, more separated and striated, and doesn't have a torn biceps like Dorian?
