In my opinion he was never aesthetic , his phsyique always conveyed power not beauty .
but just because his phyisue conveyed power does NOT mean he did not have many aesthetic qualities.
That what was so good about peak Ronnie: he had mass, he had aesthetics, he had great arms (the first Mr. O. since 1983 to do so). He had it all.
He was an effective combo of a lot of great qualities.
Yates was just mass - he had the power lifter look.
He had
no aesthetic qualities about him what so ever:


and that is
part of the reason why Ronnie would smoke him.
