inaddition to having a smaller waist all of ronnies joints are smaller... making it totally possible for Ronnie to look bigger then Dorian even wighing less... READY: listen to the PBW interview with Dorian... he admits that if he faced ronnie while both were in their prime.... RONNIE WOULD WIN.... if i rememeber i think he said "I THINK RONNIE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE BEATEN ME".... 
Yawn old news , Ronnie in 1999 said Dorian would have beat him , and Dorian was referring to the fact that Ronnie competed 30lbs heavier than him and the judges would probably pick him , and I hate to tell you sport Ronnie 2003 isn't his prime showing .
Taken out of FLEX nov 1999, page 90. interview by jim schmaltz with ronnie before the 99 Olympia.
Jim: What would have happened last year if Dorian Yates (recently retired winner of 6 straight Mr. Olympias) had competed?
Ronnie: Dorian would have won again.
Jim: You think so?
Ronnie: I know so. Dorian has a big physique - hard- and he's been the man to beat, and its hard to knock the champion off the block. He's a big guy and has a lot going for him. He overcame so many adversities, like his torn biceps, I couldnt see too much else stopping him.And again Ronnie joints may help with the apperence of looking bigger but his waist in that picture is the same size as Yates , and Dorian doesn't have a waist that small , so that means that comparision is NOT accurate .
