Legit like asking who would win in a game of 1 on 1 between LeBron or Larry Bird. Both are great, but one is significantly more developed.

[Iceman1981]

Ronnie would win. Plus Dorian already admitted what he thought would happen if he competed against a 2003 Ronnie:

Dorian Yates - Radio Interview:

"The judges would probably choose Ronnie over me."

[mikieson]

there has never been a year that Dorian comes close. Might have something to do with my extreme dislike of Dorian for my opinion..Still..Coleman is the freak holla if ya hear me!!!

[Loctus]

lol @ even pretending that there is a discussion to be had

[Larfleeze]

*insert whoever* vs 03 Ronnie threads are pointless. No on has ever come close and most likely no one ever will.

[deathmetal1992]

2003 Ronnie and it's a pretty convincing win. Yates has him in two poses; the ab/thigh and the side tricep. While Yates has a back that rivals Coleman's, his lower body isn't on the same level. Conditioning-wise they were both good, although 1993 Yates' conditioning could probably only be matched by 1999 Olympia/2001 Arnold Ronnie.

[Postmort3m]

Ronnie makes him look like a nationals competitor

[mike8190]

no contest really. Dorian might win ab and thigh, and he's got a really good side tri. But side by side I think ronnie's size and thickness would be overwhelming even in his weaker poses. Dorian was the best in his time and evolved bodybuilding to new heights. But then ronnie took it another couple steps. Even where dorian shines, in the back, there's no contest. Ronnie's thickness is just ridiculous.

Can't f*uck with the GOAT!

Bird wins!

[RobberBaron13]

The only Ronnie version prime Dorian MIGHT take is 2002 Olympia.
Ronnie is the ultimate mass monster no matter the year

[Larfleeze]

Bird wins!

what people cant seem to grasp is..you could probably fit Dorian inside of Coleman..Thats how much difference there actually is in size..lol..

[gskhalsa]

A closer comparison would be 93' Yates versus 98' or 99" Coleman.

98 moreso than 99 in my opinion.

[gilesmiles1]

your comparison was going ok until

Ronnie has far more leg sweep from the rear (yes he holds his legs wider but still)
Ronnies side chest obviously beats Dorian
Dorian side triceps obviously beat Ronnie and everybody else

Dorian doesn't 'fit inside Ronnie'. He definitely has him on condition. He annihilated an at his best Wheeler there. Would make Ronnie look soft IMO.

[waddupi]

Llol, 03 ronnie will crush anybody even if all bbuilders combined all their strengths..
