While Mr. Olympia 2022 results may have left many shocked, curiosity about the next big bodybuilding event remains high. However, the talks and debates over Mr. Olympia 2022 results have not completely subsided. It has been over a week since Iranian bodybuilder Hadi Choopan came out as the new winner. As yesteryear bodybuilding legends Milos ‘The Mind’ Sarcev, Dennis James, Christopher Cormier, and George Farah came together to discuss their take on the recent event, Sarcev had a lot to share.

From analyzing Hadi’s win to detailing where he can improve, the IFBB champion revealed how the present-day bodybuilding champion stands weak in front of legends like Ronnie Coleman and Dorian Yates. While this was an interesting detour considering the number of years that separate these giants, let’s delve further into the matter.

Unimpressed, Milos, however, finds such comparisons groundless. He adds, “Let’s face it, it’s not comparable because Chris, when you were on stage with the masters…umm… Ronnie, when he does that thing, you see every fiber.” He further pointed out how well-conditioned the body was of the yesteryear legends. Speaking about Dorian Yates, he re-emphasized how his fibers were visible.

Praising him for their chest, shoulders, and legs, he also pointed out how bigger he looked on stage.
