This next comment has nothing to do with Dorian v. Ronnie, but simply Ronnie alone.
Ronnie in 2003 was simply grotesque to me. His quality was so far superior in 98 and 99 it's not even funny. Better conditioned, drier, aesthetic, no gut (at one point in Ronnie's routine in 03 it looks like he has a beach ball in his stomach), smaller waist, better taper, and on and on.
Why do people prefer quantity so much over quality?

Watch for yourself.
