Okay, once again the argument seems to be that 1999 Ronnie was nothing more than a slightly harder 1996 Ronnie, and therefore, Dorian would still beat a 1999 ronnie.
For those who missed it the first time, compare these two videos:
1997:
1999:

Now, as you can clearly see, ronnie was certainly a whole lot more than just a harder version of himself.
In 1999 his arms, legs and back all improved DRAMATICALLY onstage. His entire look was different.
it may have only been a few pounds difference, but it filled out his frame and made a dramatic change to the overall look of his phyisque.
1997 ronnie looked like he needed a lot more muscle to look right.
1999 ronnie accomplished this fact.
See, again, 1996 Ronnie had a back lat spread that was not as good as yates.
In 1999, he had a lat spread that surpassed yates.
for quad size, Dorian's legs would have dwarfed the 1996 ronnie's.
In 1999 again, he would have matched dorian for size, and obliterated his quads for detail and sweep.
etc.
The point is this: 1999 Ronnie would have enjoyed many advantages over dorian that the 1996 Ronnie would not have gained.
Some advanages were still there, like taper and some detail. but 1996 ronnie just plain looked strange in many poses, because his frame was not full enough yet.
A few pounds in the right places made all the difference.
