oh, I've noticed the quotes about Dorian. I have no problem admitting that Dorian consistently had better conditioning or that he was more balanced pre-tear than Ronnie. The problem with the Dorian quotes is that most of them were during his reign as Mr. Olympia. It's unfair to use a quote from 95 saying "Dorian is the best" to argue why he would beat Ronnie who didn't hit his prime until many years later. On the other hand, the Ronnie quotes are relevant b/c they take into consideration how he would fare against all bodybuilders - past and present.
I don't know where you got that from , I never claimed because Dorian was much better than his competitions circa 1993/1995 that means he would be better than Ronnie 98 on
I always maintained the same Dorian would beat Ronnie for the following reasons , he's better balanced , better conditioned , has better density and depending on the year he was bigger , I used to the quotes to confirm what I've always maintained not as proof of anything more
Dorian at his best versus Ronnie 1998 - Dorian is bigger , better balanced , denser and conditioning may be a push
Dorian v 1999 - Dorian probably pushes on size , Dorian has better balance , density and conditioning
Dorian V 2001 - Dorian bigger , better balance , density and conditioning probably a push
Dorian V 2003 - Ronnie much bigger , Dorian better balance , density and conditioning
couple the edge in presentation and posing Dorian has to many advantages for Ronnie
