I am pretty much done with this thread.
Over the course of this thread, we have been debating who was better Ronnie versus dorian using their 99 (some used 2003) and 93 respective bests.
but we were doing so based on very little evidence.
up until now, there was almost no pics/videos of either Dorian 93 or Ronnie 99.
Then, a few days ago, the 99 Ronnie pics were posted and the collective jaw of Getbig dropped when they saw how ripped, huge and shapely Ronnie was.
no one gave a shit about dorian until a day later.
At first, Sucky and ND, did not really have much to say.
then they decide, the hell with it, we can't argue this anymore, so we will just go on as if the pics/video was never posted.
they continued with their (now proven wrong) garbage about how much harder dorian was, how much dryer he was, how he had fantastic quads, no distension when relaxed (bullshit - check the pics) etc etc.
I will not continue argue with people that are, as Haider put it so well " not dumb, but full of shit".
then you have pobrecito, who now says Ronnie would have lost because he had stomach distension. Never mind the fact that dorian had inferior taper, quads, glutes, hams, biceps, some would say back, and detail in most major bodyparts.
then they go and claim that all these attributes that the judges have always considered when scoring (quad sweep, taper, striations, glutes, vascularity etc) are never considered.
what is this? the 1930's? these guys don't even know how modern contests are scored! ask any judge. They will tell you that since at least the 1990's,. all these things are considered to give an advantage in some way over another guy who does not have the same attribute, assuming all other things equal. And, these are not the only attributes scored, so don't even start with the bullshit.
then you have the tactic of dismissing major flaws and looking at a totally different bodypart in an effort to minimize the flaws.
eg. when we are talking about Ronnie's quads, we are taking about quads.
not calves.
this thread is over because the people arguing for dorian cannot see what is right in front of their own eyes.
Yes, the 99 Ronnie pics show few mandatories. but the ones that they do show (back lat, front db, back db, mm) are all better than Dorian. Dorian would win the ab and thigh, and side tri. that is it by almost all accounts.
I will not continue to argue with people that cannot see the difference in quality between these two guys. It smacks of ignorance about how contests are judged. And no, it has nothing to do with skin colour
