What is incredibly stupid about this debate is that both of you people are posting the same ol' pics of them not even flexing, in a relaxed state of being. Especially you, ND. Do you have nothing better to do than troll sites looking for poses where ronnie is relaxed, in offseason, or simply NOT posing?
But damn, those most muscular's of Ronnie own every fucking bodybuilder on the planet. Who is Yates to even compete with that...
ah, but there is a crucial difference between my pics and ND's pics:
ND's relaxed pics are meant to show a gut, which is meaningless to the debate because they BOTH had guts at peak condition.
MY relaxed pics are intended to show lack of taper and lack of quad detail/sweep:

most of ND's pics show Ronnie backstage.
My pics show how dorian looked HORRIBLE in the symmetry round but was NEVER penalized. Ronnie and his taper would have killed dorian in this round, no problem.
