This isn't about Flex or anyone else. You're making irrational comparisons to prove your point and it's not going to work. It's about Ronnie, Dorian and Haney. And of those three. Yates isn't coming out at the top. He has the least amount of Mr. Os AND he got beat by Haney. I'm perfectly fine with applying that logic to Ronnie also which would put Haney as #1. (He is). Or we can take them at their best and apply the rules and Ronnie would win. No matter how you turn it, Dorian doesn't end up on top. Outside of this website and in Bodybuilding circles, Ronnie is considered the best all time...Not Dorian. (Only in your world).
You're right it's NOT about Flex , it's about Ronnie and how he did against Flex who Dorian dominated. Ronnie had his hands full with a subpar Flex at his BEST mind you , to claim he could beat Dorian knowing this is being willfully ignorant
Haney the sport flew by him in 1992 he wouldn't beat Dorian , Flex or Ronnie I would say a prime Levrone would beat him too
Ronnie 1998 doesn't touch Dorian in the IFBB judging criteria
Does he have more muscular bulk than Dorian? NO 257lbs compared to Ronnie's 249
He is harder or drier than Dorian? NO although is all-time best still NOT in Dorian's league
Does he have better balance & Proportion than Dorian? NO
If he a better poser? NO
Ronnie has his advantages over Dorian for sure but Ronnie just wouldn't beat him , and Ronnie said as much multiple times
