Hulkster this where you tend to go astray
wrong: you should know by now that ND has NO standards:
-likes wide waist dorian, mass monster, gh gut.
-yet hates mass monster GH gut Ronnie
-but also likes classical Zane, Revees, Labrada, Paris
I do have standards and they haven't changed , you just haven't been paying attention , I do prefer classic type physiques , Haney , Paris , Labrada , Cormier , Zane , etc , but for purposes of this debate if Yates and Coleman met at their respective bests , its a case of " the lesser of two evils " so strictly for debate purposes I would pick Yates to beat Coleman ( for the 8th time ) and what part of " I was routing for Flex Wheeler in 1993 " didn't you get? what part of I wanted Flex to beat Yates didn't you get??
And enough with this nonsense of
I'm blinded by hate
get serious , I don't hate Coleman , and if I did I would be on the bandwagon with the guys who bash how he speaks & articulates himself , I have no commented on his personality or anything else other than his physique , from what I understand he is a nice guy , personable and very friendly and I was happy when he won in 98 his reaction to winning was a welcome site in the sport and everyone loves an underdog , so there goes your hate-theory
Here is your quote
agreed - and yet ND goes on about how someone said that dorian has "the greatest side chest of all time" which is totally laughable.
ronnie crushes him in this pose
Buckle down sport this is were you get owned ( again ) it wasn't only me who said Dorian had the best side chest shot it was Ronald Dean Coleman !! so laugh at your hero for making the claim

Flex Magazine July 2003
DESCRIBE DORIAN YATES: A close friend. Dorian is very intelligent, a great Mr. Olympia. He had the best side-chest pose and the thickest freakiest back I have ever seen.
Flex Magazine August 2002 Samir Bannout commenting about Jay Cutler
His back is detailed and big, but it does not match up well against Ronnie, who has the second-best back in the history of bodybuilding behind the great Dorian Yates.
Two Mr Olympias giving Dorian the nod on having the best back
ever not to mention Ronnie saying Dorian has the best side chest , lets say Ronnie has the better chest of the two , it does nothing for him in the side chest shot , why? two reasons , one he cannot effectively do this pose , and two when he does do the pose , his front & side deltoids are so huge they obscure the chest , he could have taken lessons from Haney & Levrone on how to do this pose !
Now perhaps saying Dorian has better overall arms wasn't the way I should have worded it , but Dorian does have better shaped sidtriceps and his forearms are better in my opinion than Ronnie , Dorian has forearms like Mike Mentzer and Ronnie like Al Beckles , and in my opinion I don't feel Ronnie's forearms are in proportion with his massive biceps/triceps , buts its all a moot point why?
Because , Dorian beat Ronnie
seven different times lol when you ask?
1994 Mr Olympia - Dorian first - Ronnie 15th
1995 Mr Olympia - Dorian first - Ronnie 11th
1996 Mr Olympia - Dorian first - Ronnie 6th
1996 Grand Prix of England - Dorian first - Ronnie 5th
1996 Grand Prix of Germany - Dorian first - Ronnie 5th
1996 Grand Prix of Spain - Dorian first - Ronnie 5th
1997 Mr Olympia - Dorian first - Ronnie 9th
Thats seven occasions that Ronnie couldn't close the deal , now mind you we can discount 94 and 95 because Ronnie wasn't up to his ideal bodyweight , however in 1996 Ronnie was competing at 245-250lbs he was at his prime weight anything over 250lbs Ronnie got soft and his gut started hanging out , his conditioning in 96 was damn good , check out the NOC anyway , his conditioning ' improved ' by 1998 but his weight didn't go up , so he was in his prime competing weight , durring 1996 and 1997 Dorian beat Coleman outright 5 times with a torn bicep , tricep , quad and in 97 a huge gut , even at his worse Ronnie couldn't compete with Dorian and think for a moment that in his prime condition Ronnie with improved conditioning could outright beat him lol you're delusional , Ronnie lost to Dorian with ' superior ' arms , quads , aesthetics ( lol ) a much smaller waist , ' superior ' delts , taper , etc and you think with improved conditioning ( and gyno ) he's gonna magically pull a rabbit out of his hat and beat Dorian lol keep dreaming
Bottom line is this debate ended in 1997 when Dorian retired , the only reason Ronnie is Mr Olympia is because Dorian retired if he didn't Ronnie would have never beat him ( deservedly or not ) I tried to call a truce out of respect for other people on the board you want to cling to fantasy that Ronnie could beat Dorian keep dreaming but you just got your ass owned in a major way by the
