Guys, come on and make up.

Listen, I agree with ND that an in shape pre-tear Dorian circa 1993 would not get blown out of the water by any degree by whatever version of Ronnie you put him against. I think the 1998/1999 Ronnie was better, but that is my opinion. I certainly feel that a 1993 Dorian would beat 2002 Ronnie. No question in my mind. I then feel that 2003 Ronnie would overwhelm Dorian in the muscularity round, but he had lost some of the symmetry that made him so spectacular in 1998/1999. Regardless, both guys are awesome. Without a doubt, the two best bodybuilders in the last 15 years. However, to compare them at their respective bests is getting moot as it will never happen. When Dorian was dominating, Ronnie was just coming into his own. I didn't see Ronnie's pics in 1997, but the video I posted on another thread makes me feel that he was definitely overlooked in the Mr. Olympia that year (no way Priest can ever beat him...never). When Ronnie came into his own, Dorian retired because of all the injuries. He was gifted 1997 on reputation and name alone; much like Ronnie was gifted 2002. Regardless, at their primes, it would have been a hell of a show. All I know is that I would own the DVD.

Peace all. Now make up and lets start a new thread like "mass vs class" for the next Mr. Olypia. Branch vs Heath. Hell, that might be fun.
