exactly what I've been trying to say. I'm not doubting that Dorian was dryer than Ronnie. However, the difference isn't night and day like the Dorian nuthuggers believe. Ronnie had pretty damn good conditioning in 03. He was shredded everywhere and his lower back was crisp. Now add the fact that he was almost 30 lbs heavier than Dorian. It's easy to see why Ronnie would beat Dorian. The real discussion is who would win between 99 Ronnie and Dorian.
i've said since the beginning, the only version ronnie would have a chance at yates is 03.
but dorian's conditioning i think wouldhave been too much for coleman.
dorian's conditioning would have made ronnie in 03 look like he showed up for a guest posing.
(eventhough i think coleman in 03 is his and one of the best ever).
when most people think of coleman after he retires, it'll be from him in 03. that was the only time i heard how dominant he was - at the time. (despite no competition).
when ronnie came out in 99, he got applauce.
when ronnie came out in 03, he got "oh shit. he's huge".
