another thing to consider.
every year yates competed, you can hear many air-horns being blown when yates comes on stage and poses.
as great as coleman was, that NEVER happend to ronnie.
pumpster points to the 'getbig poll', but from the audience reaction - which i think counts more bc its live -they seem to like yates better.
yates had an aura about him that ronnie never had. no one beat yates except for 2 guys.
haney who has 8 olympia wins and benaziza who is dead.
yates was quiet, won, and went back to england, took the sport to new levels with his own stage apperances as well as training and diet. he really did revolutionize the sport. not just how people can look but also how they approach training and nutrition.
