lol, If you say so.
But let's be serious. yates is standing by himself, ofcourse his taper will look ok, but stand him next to the other guys and his, as you said "shitty taper" stands out. It's just reality.
His taper next to other guys isnt as extreme, but it's still good. To me, extreme taper is detrimental. It causes an unbalanced look, like the upper and lower body are too big for the midsection. Makes it look weak.
