no real advantages my ass:
Well, let's see. Muscularity is 50% of the official judging criteria. Check. Dorian had tons of it more than Shawn, and his muscles looked harder. Symmetry, the other 50% of the judging, goes either wat because both Dorian and Ray are equivalent in muscular proportionality, and they're both flawed structure-wise. So yes, Dorian does have,
undoubtedly, a huge advantage over Shawn.
the problem with your long winded arguments sucky, is that their main premises are usually wrong. this is but just one example of an argument based on flawed reasoning that is easily disproved.
What premisses of mine are wrong? Elucidate that to me. No, seriously, I want to hear that!

Analyse this carefully and you'll see that my premisses and the logical deductions I make are completely right. Here goes:
- Muscularity is very important in bodybuilding, because what sets bodybuilders aside from people who don't bodybuild are their larger muscles. Check.
- Dorian had far more muscularity than Shawn. Check.
- Shawn did not compensate for this by being more symmetrical - Shawn's muscles were not completely proportionaly developed and Dorian's only muscular disproportionality were his relatively small biceps. Check.
- Shawn did not compensate for this by having a superior structure - Dorian's structure was flawed with wide hips, but Shawn's also was with his long waist and short legs. Check.
- Shwan did not compensate for this with having an advantage in muscular quality sufficient enough to overcome Dorian - Shaw had more striations and separations on some bodyparts over Dorian, but so did Yates, and Dorian's musculature was harder.
So, in conclusion, Hulkster, I'm going to make it very simple for you:
Dorian Yates defeated Shawn Ray because he had far more quantity than Ray, and Ray did not have any significant advantage in quality to compensate for that.. Game over.
thus, the conclusion does not follow based on the premises because they are wrong in the first place.
I just gave you a lesson in deductive loigic, 101.

It was not an impossibility that shawn could beat dorian.
Maybe on a parallel universe, where where the laws of logic are inverted, and where a bodybuilder with no quality advantage over another and far less muscle size is considered to be better.
