Once again, I defeated Hulkster at his own game. He asked to comment on a pic he posted of Dorian at the 1993 Olympia, where Dorian suposedly had a bad midsection; I did, and pointed out that there was no gut distension there. Hulkster remained silent. Then, I posted a pic of Dorian from the 1996 Olympia where he had vastly superior taper, abdominal and serratus separations than Ronnie in his 1999 Olympia form, and asked Hulkster to comment on it. Hulkster remained silent. I pointed out that the 1999 Ronnie has no advntge over the 1993 Dorian in muscularity, and, when it comes to symmetry, Dorian also had advantages over Ronnie, due to his flatter midsection with better separations and more proportional lower body. Oh, I also pointed out that Dorian wins in conditioning. Hulkster remained silent.
So, I guess the debate is over, because all the opposition can do is to advance the hypothesis that Ronnie's superior taper and separations would make him flat out destroy Dorian. First of all, this is only an
opinion, one that the udges may or may not agree with. Secondly, considering Dorian's advantage in muscularity and conditioning, even if Ronnie won due to his superior "refinement", it would be by a few points - due to Dorian's immense advantage in everything else. Hulkster cannot reply to this
obvious fact, so he resorts to posting pics of the 1999 Ronnie as if his
opinion that Ronnie has better "refinement" would be shared by the udges!
Since Ronnie doesen't defeat Dorian in either muscularity or conditioning, and since he only has better symmetry than Diesel on some mandatories, it would be entirely arbitrary to give Ronnie the nod based on better separations. Again, the
fact is that, in a contest between the 1993 Dorian and 1999 Ronnie, Dorian would be the most muscular man onstage and the most conditioned, and also the most symmetrical on several mandatories, so he would probably win based on official I.F.B.B criteria(muscularity, symmetry and conditioning). So, even if the udges give the victory to Ronnie, it would be an
arbitrary decision based on a preference. Discussion over.
