Oliver, now I know that you are Sucky's left nut. You are even more delusional than him. Only you feel that as Dorian got bigger he got better. My God man, open your eyes. At least Ronnie has striations, vascularity, taper and extreme conditioning. Dorian looked like complete shit in 1994/1997. He looked average (for a Mr. Olympia) in 1996. In 1993, he looked damn good and would have placed a nice second to Ronnie, but in the others he would have been lucky to beat Jay Cutler of the past few years. The fact is this, you claim he would have continued to win if he competed. I can honestly say if Dorian 1998 would have beaten Ronnie 1998; the bodybuilding community would have left in droves. Ronnie was bigger, harder and incredibly conditioned. Dorian was bulbous, an aesthetic mess and looked like a used up bodybuilder. By your logic, Dorian would have never won if Haney kept on competing. And BTW, Haney's back taper far exceeded Dorian ever. His upper back was thicker and his taper better. The only way Dorian beat him was a better lower back. Haney's back was massive; ND will even agree. You are the most delusional of the three. So Oliver, if Dorian won just on precedent; why would Haney continue to win (just curious how you come to such a conclusion)? If you state Dorian would have won in 1993, I counter that Ronnie would have won in 1998 (He looked far better than Dorian had for at least five years). Ok Ollie, let us hear your rational reasoning now.
It's possible Haney would have continued to win, sure. He definately had the structure. I'm sure he would do what Ronnie did to catch up and start upping his test and gh doses to ridiculous levels. You're either all the way in this game or not. He wouldn't have had another option if he wanted to retain his title.
The rest is all your opinion. I can see why some people like yourself are be easily impressed by sheer mass. I like quality mass, and that's what Dorian consistently delivered. Dorian always had a knack for coming in dry. He was a genius when it came to contest prep. You and I both know Dorian had to keep gaining size to hold on to his title. The current trend of rewarding mass over aesthetics demands it. Every pro loses a bit of their aesthetic appeal as they get bigger, Dorian just pulls it off better. Every pound of muscle he gains is rock solid. Show me a contest pick of Dorian looking like a water-logged buffalo. You might be able to find a couple, but they are few and far between.
It might have something to do with all the GH Ronnie's feeders probably give him. His skin is thick, and so it always looks like he's holding water. "Water-logged mass" lol. Whatever the reason it doesn't matter, shit is shit however you slice it.
