lol @ you pretending it's impossible to tell thickness from a pic. There is a thing called shading that artists use to make a 2D picture have depth. Looking at pics of Ronnie and Dorian, Ronnie has more back thickness in the rear double biceps pose. Whereas Dorian's back looks like a 2D anatomy chart, Ronnie's looks like a walking anatomy chart with nooks and crevices between individual muscles.
look again. Someone edited the two of them together. You can clearly see a line down the middle where someone cropped the pic.
try again, kiddo. The experts who have seen both men don't even mention Dorian in the same sentence when they talk about size 
Team Flex – Flexonline.com, November 2004
"For whatever faults he may possess, Ronnie Coleman is quite possibly the most impressive physical specimen walking the earth today. Pictures do not do him justice. When he stands relaxed muscle literally hangs from his frame, as if his skin can no longer support the pendulous masses of flesh he has forged with untold tons of iron and steel. It’s difficult to imagine anyone surpassing Big Ron’s level of mass in this, or any, lifetime."
John Plummer – Flexonline 2003 Mr. Olympia Contest Review
"Coleman may never be an aesthete's dream but when it comes to mass, he has taken the sport on to another level."

Flex Wheeler - MD, February 2004
"I'll go on record as saying Ronnie is truly the biggest, hardest, most shredded Mr. Olympia in history. No disrespect to anybody at all, but I'd to identify Ronnie Coleman as the greatest Mr. Olympia of all time."
Nasser El Sonbaty – http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/greatest-olympia-winner-of-all-time.htm
"Without any doubt I feel the best Mr. Olympia winner ever is Ronnie Coleman. If you take a look at Coleman in his prime, compared to any one of the other Mr. Olympia winners in theirs, you could say that Ronnie had more size and hardness and greater longevity."
Samir Bannout – An Interview with the Lion of Lebanon (Hosted on Bodybuilding.com)
"I saw Ronnie Coleman about three years ago. I had a prince named Prince Yasab Al Trarndy and he came out here to see the show and we went out to Vegas together. We went up to Ronnie's room and Ronnie posed for us and I will tell you I have never seen anything like it in my life in terms of muscle mass and quality."

It is impossible to tell who is thicker via 2D pictures absolutely. And there is this thing thta's called shading that artists use to make a 2D picture APPEAR to have depth. You under NO circumstances tell whose back is thicker by two separate photos
look again. Someone edited the two of them together. You can clearly see a line down the middle where someone cropped the pic.
It actually was edited HOWEVER this is both of them on-stage at the same time at the same contest , why it was edited is because Dorian hit the shot first and then relaxed and Ronnie hit it right after. That pic is more accurate than anything you ever posted because it's both of them live and on-stage at the same time. Albeit Ronnie isn't his best and neither is Dorian but what this does is give us a more accurate depiction of reality when Ronnie is at 250lbs and so is Dorian , that is how Ronnie 2001 would look next to just Dorian 1993/1995 Olympia nevermind Dorian precontest at 269lbs
try again, kiddo. The experts who have seen both men don't even mention Dorian in the same sentence when they talk about size
Neo this has NOTHING to do with Ronnie at his best 2001 ASC or 1998 Mr Olympia you know 247/249lbs. Ronnie at his best wouldn't make Dorian look small at all and even Ronnie at heavier weights would have a size advantage but fall apart on density & dryness and balance & proportion
Neo this is them both on the same stage at the same time both 250lbs or so no edit Dorian would crush Ronnie at his best and that's not Dorian precontest either. The other pic was made to make it more fair to Ronnie because he didn't hit the pose yet and it was demolished either way
Sorry Neo Ronnie at 247lbs isn't touching Yates at his best
