Hmm.....Ronnie has better definintion in some bodyparts, whereas Dorian has more in some areas, namely, abdominals (midsection as a whole), back, calves.
Ronnie has better definition in his arms, delts, pecs, glutes, quads and hamstrings. Dorian has better definition in his midsection and lower back. Gee, it's so close.
Also, it's nice of you to ignore the fact that Dorian is a solid 1"-2" shorter than Ronnie. So not only is Ronnie 244-247lbs when matching Dorian's condition at 257, but he is still carrying a significantly less amount of mass to the eye inch for inch.
first of all, Dorian is only 1" shorter than Ronnie. Second, I feel that 01 ASC Ronnie surpassed Dorian's conditioning in 95. Ronnie was as dry and shredded to the bone as a human being can be. Dorian may have been just as dry, but he was probably carrying more subcutaneous fat. There's no way you can tell me that a person can be 3% body fat with 0 water yet still be devoid of any definition. It doesn't make any sense. Third, your weight argument means shit b/c the judges don't individually weigh each competitor on stage. Bodybuilding is about illusion. Ronnie has smaller joints and a narrower waist than Dorian. Therefore, he looks bigger than he actually weighs. The same cannot be said about Dorian.
