IceCold and ND are really being pathetic with all this "its enhanced its altered" bullshit.
why not just admit what everyone can see?- that Ronnie by virtue of his superior shape, detail and vascularity is better?
and besides, I just posted some links that someone posted from the 99 dvd and it is clear that the screencaps look identical to the video.
so Icecold's bullshit claims have been disproven yet again...
This is where you go wrong , superior shape? you make massive blanket statements , does Ronnie have superior shaped calves? glutes ? lats? forearms? traps? abdominals? Ronnie certainly has an edge in some muscle shape over Yates but don't act like he's Flex Wheeler because he's NOT and its not a matter of if Ronnie had the ' superior shape ' would that beat Dorian , Dorian never once won because he had an aesthetic physique , detail? again with a blanket statement , Ronnie does have some better detail no doubt but in some areas he doesn't Dorian has much better detail in his midsection and I mean his whole midsection , his serattus/intercostals/obliques/abdominals , better detail in his calves , more detail in lower lats , erector spinae , so again lets not make base claims without further examination , and vascularity? if this isn't the most pathetic attempt at an advantage , seriously .
Now you picked why you think Ronnie would win , now lets look at why Dorian would , this is based on the IFBB criteria , Yates has better balance & proportion , better conditioning , and density & thickness , couple that with a better ability to present his physique to its best potential and I think it would be close but Dorian meets the criteria better than Ronnie .
