its not that he looks bad standing beside other pros.
its that 99.9% of the dorian pics on this thread have him showing close up shots standing alone - and he looks good. great impact
.
What about the pics I've posted comparing Dorian in the abs-and-thighs to Ronnie's abs-and-thighs in 1999? What about that pic from 1996 that shows Dorian destroying Ronnie in the back double biceps? You try to excuse Dorian's victories on the ground that he only looks good when standing alone, but the bottom line is that this is non-sensical, because a bodybuilding contest is about
comparisons. Dorian became Mr.Olympia not because he was deemed to be more muscular&symmetrical from most angles in
comparison to his rivals, and because he presented this with a muscular quality that was on it's own league.
problem is, anyone looks good like that.
No, wrong. Does an obese man look good standing alone? A muscular and proportional physique looks good either standing alone or in comparisons; a horrible physique, the same.
Put dorian onstage with others, and most of that impact goes out the window:
Actually, Dorian is
more impressive when being
compared to other bodybuilders than when standing alone. It is when he's standing next to the other bodybuildrs that his muscle thickness and hardness shined, making all the other competitors look smalla and soft. Besides, the judges disagreed with you, giving him straight-firsts scores in
all rounds when
comparing him to his rivals. By the night show, when Dorian did his posing routine and stood alone, he had already formerly won the contest,
after being compared to the other competitors.
