And its Ronnie at 2001 Arnold Classic is considered his best showing ever and all of his pics are from that contest
yes but he is HALFWAY FLEXING in ALMOST EVERY ONE.
eg.

no where near completing the post, arm is not even tensed yet


side chest not nearly completed - the arm is flexed and so is the leg but his arm is not pulled back to show off his pecs yet, like this:


the fact that you would even pass this off as a lat spread is pathetic.

not even close to spreading his lats yet, but still showing great detail. Had this shot been snapped a few seconds later, it would have destroyed Dorian's relaxed back shot.

very bad shot.
Now, lets look at actual good shots of what his poses looked like at the AC:

most muscular - blows Dorkian out of the water

back double bi onstage - totally awesome.

rear lat spread - fully flexing and awesome!

front lat - unlike Dorian, his pose is complete with detailed chest and great legs, in addtion to a great pair of lats

another shot of his incredible rear lat spread - complete with glutes and hams.

another most muscular, blowing dorian's away with shape and detail..


awesome arms forward most muscular.


showing off his incredible taper

amazing backstage front double bi..

and the reverse side..
you see, those shots ND posted were some of the WORST taken of Ronnie at the AC, with the exception of the back double bi..
To most people, its pretty clear that the 2001 AC Ronnie would take Yates.
Hell, his 2001 AC physique constantly gets mentioned by many, many people as possibly the greatest ever, gut or not gut!
The same CANNOT be said for Dorian..
