Two years later also at a Grand Prix show, here comes Ronnie, smaller waist, flatter abs, better arms, better chest, and most importantly, a back that can complete with Dorians. Ronnie owns the back double bicep pose. His is the all times best in his prime. Dorian doesn't have the bicep peaks to pull the pose off better and his arms are at least an inch or two smaller that Colemans. While Dorian is in better condition, Coleman his more detailed with a smaller waist. Guys like to go off on different arguments about this saying he barely beat Flex. All these arguments have nothing to do with what we're talking about. Throwing Dorian in there being a 6 time Mr. O would have changed the dynamic of the show. Flex more than likely would have been a clear 3rd. The focus would have been on Coleman and his ginormous improvements and riding the wave of his Night of Champions win. Dorian peaked in 93. In some form or another he got progressively worse each year with 97 looking his worse. His waist was wide he wasn't as sharp as previous years and his arms looked like twigs on an huge back. He had seen the best of Dorian 4 years ago. Colemans 98 was his prime. He would have absolutely embarrassed Dorians. Flex and Ronnie compared better back then when Ronnie was smaller. That wasn't the first time Ronnie had beaten Flex. Ronnie did what Flex couldn't put more mass on and come in condition. Flex had the prettier frame but Coleman had the better constitution, will, ability to put on size and get shredded where Flex couldn't (Hams and Glutes). They compared alot better when Ronnie was smaller. Ronnie and Dorian is a different animal. Ronnie in 98 makes Dorian look really bad and he doesn't even have to match his conditioning to do it. He came in his best condition which was really dry and had everything Dorian didn't have. Ronnie would have won in 98.

Ronnie always had a smaller waist , flatter abs ,and better arms and a ' better chest ' and a excellent back , and he still lost time-in-time-out. Where did Ronnie 98 improve over 97? conditioning only and his conditioning is NOT in Dorian's league. And Flex has a smaller waist , flatter abs , better arms , and a back that was fantastic and always lost .
Ronnie owned the back double biceps pose compared to those he competed with , not against Dorian , you think an advantage in biceps peak makes up for nothing below the knees? Claves are just as important as biceps in this pose and Ronnie's calves are a fuck of a lot worse than Dorian's biceps

Wrong , it's a clear indication on how things would go. A career best Ronnie in 1998 just barely beats Flex Wheeler who wasn't even close to his best which was 1993 which Dorian trounced yet he's supposed to beat Dorian? Not happening , especially not with bitch-tits
The focus would have been on Coleman and his ginormous improvements and riding the wave of his Night of Champions win.
What improvements? the ONLY thing he improved on was density & dryness , Dorian wrote the book on that. What improvements did Ronnie make over 97? For once he came in dialed in , He didn't bring up any lagging bodyparts , he didn't come in bigger while being in shape in fact he came in lighter , what improvements?

Ronnie 98 isn't touching Dorian ever just not happening. And that's his best shape or one of them.
