Hulkster where you at? Kevin Levrone says Dorian would beat Ronnie

[NarcissisticDeity]

Said if Dorian was uninjured he would've beaten Ronnie in 1998  He said the same thing I did that if Lee Haney competed in 1992 he would've beaten Dorian. starts about 22:00 I know what Dorian looked like back then and I know what Ronnie looked like at that show Ronnie wasn't light years ahead of nobody when he won his first Mr Olympia

Dorian was injured, he was beat to shit...

Dorian would have to have been in prime shape (1993) with no bicep tear or other injuries to beat ronnie in 1998... Even then I think ronnie probably has the edge and ronnie was even better in 99.

I can't fathom how a 2003 Ronnie Coleman, at 287-lb with shredded glutes, wouldn't have beaten Dorian Yates.  I suspect Dorian was around 255- to 260-lb in 1993, at the same height as Ronnie [5'10.5"].

Of course Ronnie Coleman in 1998 and 1999 looked incredible in a much different way [lighter, while obviously still being massive, and more shredded than most of his contest showings from 2000 or later], but the 2003 Mr. Olympia, along with the 2004 British Grand Prix, were the versions of Ronnie Coleman that impressed me the most.  No other bodybuilder was 300-lb [2004] while having shredded glutes like that, aside from bodybuilders well over six feet tall.

Ronnie smashes him in the ab department - it's not even close!

[honest]

Anyone who's seen both in their top shape knows theres no comparison in real life, photos and videos yes, but 93 Yates beats all other versions of himself and Ronnie, arguments can be made for other versions but when he stood next to Ronnie relaxed he made him and everyone else looks smooth.

I agree, can't see Yates 93 beating 03 ronnie, even if Yates was harder....

Ronnie was beyond massive and in condition. I do think Yates 93 beats any other bber ever except ronnies best showings.

Had Yates had to contend with ronnie before the injuries and not overdieted coming in that would be interesting but that's theoretical only.

Was Yates 93 better than 98/99/03 Ronnie?

[TTfit]

Ironically Levrone looked better than both. 10 years earlier Levrone would have beat them both. When mass didn't count for all that and a cup of tea.

[JAGO]

Dorian himself stated he could not have handled Ronnie.

No one beats a prime Ronnie Coleman.
