Prime Ronnie > Prime Dorian

[Powerlift66]

Prime Ronnie > Prime Dorian

Respectfully disagree SF, but Prime Arnold and Haney smoke them both.
Hell Padilla smokes them all.

[illuminati]

Prime Ronnie > Prime Dorian

Prime Dorian >>> Prime Ronnie
And likely more so had they been at their respective peaks
At the same time.

We’ll never know.

yup...I think so, it would be very very close if we are talking about a 1998-99 Coleman vs a 1993, 1995 Yates id give the edge in Total all round conditioning too Yates obviously the size-muscle-seperation too Coleman in 1999...it’s the all round BALANCE with that outrageous conditioning imo that would be (possibly) the difference between the 2...ether way...that would be the clash of the dinosaurs both of them still unmatched too this day.

Both very much still in matched
My thinking is had they been competing at their peak
At the same time Dorian would of come in bigger & heavier
By his own admission he came in “over dieted” to maximise his condition.
Couple that with his overall balance.

That was possible and given Yates work ethic and mindset was it’s not unreasonable too say he could not have done just that, however I don’t think he would of needed more size against Coleman imo it’s a coin toss between the 2

Obviously depending on what the judges wanted standing those 2 side bye side in those respective years i keep coming back too the points you’ve raised about all round Balance and conditioning and with that fact I’d lean towards Yates.

I think what time has revealed over the last 20 odd years is those type of standards they brought in the 1990s were absolutely mind blogging as good as someone like phil heath for is for his era, in my opinion  he would of placed behind those 2 lining them up side bye side in any era.

Who’s Better a Prime Yates or Coleman? Christ...how longs a piece of string.

Putting heath in With Dorian & Ronnie at there peaks
I think heaths soft look & lack of width would knock him back
Although his freaky round full muscles could be an advantage.


Yes - exactly How long Is a piece of String.
Ha.

Fixed.

Otherwise, c’mon boys, let’s make this broken-record thread 1 800 pages.
So who is better: Dorian or Ronnie? Arnold or Sergio? Arnold or Willy? Salt or Pepper?

[Iceman1981]

Ronnie Coleman - 1998 German Grand Prix (THE KING)

[Hulkster]

hulkster your still around? Where’s the other retard? The Ronnie hater? ☺️

im here. I think ND is still trying to lose his virginity (to a guy lmao)

[xpac2]

So the winner was Ronnie

[Twaddle]

Yes, it was decided.

[Wiggs]

Prime Ronnie>Prime Dorian.
Ron, please lock this thread after this post. Thanks

[Rambone]

Prime Ronnie FTW

[SF1900]

Dorian was obviously a great champion but no physique has ever been better than a prime Ronnie.

It’s unmatched.

[Royalty]

Ronnie lost to Dorian every time they competed against each other. Dorian had his victory over Ronnie onstage.

But Dorian stopped improving and retired. Ronnie was resilient and kept improving by leaps and bounds. Ronnie had his victory later, because he has more Olympia wins than Dorian.


Both bodybuilders were fairly reckless with their bodies... they filled their bodies with chemicals that most sane men wouldn’t even dream of. I don’t see the point in glorifying that.

[ratherbebig]

i do.

there's nothing more glorious than risking your health in order to reach a goal.

thats sacrifice.

[Griffith]

So the winner was Ronnie

Yates was generally considered the winner.

Coleman had the better genetics, but from a bodybuilding standpoint, Yates was more complete, especially due to his superior conditioning and grainy look with all that mass.

[Rambone]

The only thing that this thread proves is that beauty is in the eye of the schmoeholder

[Darren Avey]

Ronnie would have beaten Yates prime v prime.  Anyone who says otherwise doesn't know the iron game of warriors

Very Clearly your showing how little you Know Darren,
Dorian would’ve won.
Had they been competing both at their peak Dorian would’ve come in bigger
& More Conditioned Than Ronnie.
Ronnie’s best look was around the 250lb mark any bigger his guts spilled out like
A fooking Barrel & His Condition suffered.
Dorian over dieted to come in lean & dry.

Yates gets criticism for his gut, but Coleman was actually worse.
