ND, I am perfectly open to objective debate. Fact is, you do everything and anything other than actually take a moment to analyze the physiques. It is quite clear that Ronnie's quadriceps are incomprehensibly larger than Dorian's (and yes, this is a GOOD thing from the standpoint of modern physique assessment by the IFBB), they are striated and feathered (unlike Dorian), riddled with vascularity (unlike Dorian), have ideal separation (Dorian has poor separation between his rectus femoris and vastus lateralis - hell do you even know what these muscles are without running to google? ), perfect proportion (Dorian's vastus medialis is too large, his rectus femoris is caved in, and vastus lateralis does not contribute to sweep and is underdeveloped).
HOW THE HELL IS THAT BIASED ND?
NOT A SINGLE STATEMENT IN THE PARAGRAPH ABOVE IS A MATTER OF OPINION!
exactly.
saying that this physique has far better muscle quality (shape, detail, vascularity):

than this one:

is not opinion.
It is FACT if you based it on proper judging criteria of shape, detail and vascularity.'
ND can't come up with shots and videos that show dorian looking better than a peak Ronnie so he just resorts to quotes and dismisses all the comments about Ronnie's far superior shape detail and vascularity (and taper) as "opinion".
well guess what: if you are sticking to how contests are judged, it is not opinion.
It is fact if you apply the concepts of modern judging:
The physique with better shape detail vascularity and taper is the better looking physique.
That is the way that it works in bodybuilding.
You can't look at a black picture and claim that saying it is black is just a matter of opinion because you don't like the colour black.
It doesn't work like that.
The overwhelming peak Ronnie evidence is the same: if you value judging criteria of detail size vascularity and taper, you will say that Ronnie is better.
You may not like it, but thats life.
If you choose not to adhere to these criteria, well then you can say that dorian is better.
But you are not judging the physiques in terms of how bodybuilding is judged.
You are doing something different.


if you apply judging criteria properly, saying that Ronnie is better is NOT opinion. It is fact.
If you chose not to apply the criteria, then you can say whatever you want and for whatever reason.
but you not judging bodybuilding anymore.
