Champion vs Champion

 

During a conversation with @Distrub_Vision aka Marcos, we fell onto the topic of bodybuilding.  We talked about some of other favorites such as Zane, Corney, Lou, Arnold, etc.  Then as I was surfing the net, I came across a pose down between Ronnie Coleman (8x Mr. Olympia 1998-2005) and Dorian Yates (6x Mr. Olympia 1992-1997).  

I thought this picture was so awesome since they were never on the stage at the same time. I hit up Marcos via twitter with it.  I decided to then tag bodybuilding greats Coleman and Yates saying "Who you got @Disturb_Vision ? @Dorian_Yates or @BigRonColeman this is a close one. #Legends," not thinking anything of it.  2 days later I get a notification that @BigRonColman mentioned me on twitter.  Being a huge fan I go to the tweet and he said "It's not that damn close."  

This didn't get here.  As some of us know, you can link facebook accounts with your twitter accounts.  Coleman has done this thus leading my tweet to be heatedly debated over.

One of the points that kept coming up is that Yate's picture in this photo isn't up to pare.  Even though Coleman competed at 295lbs and Yates hovered at 270lbs, people still felt that Yates had better of him.  The muscle mass and density on these guys are ridiculous, but Coleman does have more size.  Just remember, their are more mandatory poses that are involved in a pose down that choose the winner.  This is only one pose that started a debate between two champions.

This was one of the finer days in a long time.  I am a fan of bodybuilding despite all the rumors regarding performance enhancing drugs.  I still believe that this is one of the tougher sports to compete in because it all falls on you at the end of the day.  I have one competition under my belt and the diet alone will make or bad you.  It's not for the weak at mind that's for sure.  The will to win is a necessity!  I respect both gentleman.

May be one day I will stand on the same stage they stood.
