Again you have your opinion and if you're reffering to the 1997 Mr Olympia Nasser did look better from the front , he also didn't look as great from the side or the back , I personally don't think he should have won in 1997 but the judges did and THEIR OPINIONS are the only ones who matter , if you say Ronnie would win good for you I respect your opinion bui don't agree with it , just because you seen them live and in person doesn't make your opinion correct , most people are very uneducated on what to look for in a bodybuilding contest , most peoples opinions are based on personal prefferences and NOT the IFBB judging criteria , so you say Ronnie would beat Dorian at his best , Lee Priest says Dorian would beat Ronnie easily , who opinion carries more weight? someone who sat in the audience or someone who was onstage with BOTH men?
in the end the only opinions that matter are the judges.

Me my self competed numerous time and seeing felow competitor on stage and in audience made huge difference too.Sometime i was so surprised at beating bigger guy than me and my friend told me that i looked way better and i said "No way, i dont believe you." and many said also i was better. i know only Lee priest who say dorian is better and all of another said "Ronnie is from another planet".You know what they mean.
So on stage you cant judge your fellow competitor.its almost impossible.IN audience,YES. I see many pro contest(include WABBA) and my judgeing and those pro-judge are almost same.
And also, i have been huge huge Dorian Yates that time and my hand was shaking with emotion when he shaked my hand and sign his autograph to my dorians book.BUt,i thought Dorian was owned by Nasser from the front.So my way of judging is always constructed with logic ,not my favourite.
Some parts are better than coleman,ex: calves and especialy his granite condition. But many parts and proportion, Ronnie is better.
But telling you again, i have never been huge colemans fan.
