Ronnie Coleman dominated the bodybuilding stage for more than a decade, winning several championships such as 8x Mr. Olympia titles, in the interim. Ronnie has his own YouTube channel now, where he shares his responses concerning various bodybuilders and their emergent news. He recently offered his take on Mr. Olympia 2022 candidate, Nick Walker. Here’s deep-diving into his reaction to the youngster.

 

Nick Walker is an American bodybuilder who is all pumped to set the world stage on fire at the upcoming Mr. Olympia competitions in Vegas. He has a chiseled look and believes that his muscles are his weapon (his words, not anyone else’s). In a certain video, Nick along with 3 others discusses the muscle and body comparison of him with Coleman. The King, however, had a slightly different reaction to that comment.

Ronnie Coleman laughs it off, over comparison with Nick Walker

Ronnie Coleman, upon hearing the first note of comparison between the two, laughs out loud. His hilarious tone, which follows throughout the remainder of the reaction, was not an insult to the budding bodybuilder, but instead a genuinely dismissive reaction to the group’s discussion. The four of them continued to compare Nick’s muscles, arm size, triceps, and other parameters with that of Ronnie’s.

He said, “What the f**k are they talking about? I shouldn’t be no way in this conversation”, referring to the bizarreness of their discussion. Their conversation grew weirder every second, talking about Ronnie’s biceps, triceps, and peak, to which Ronnie finally said, “Lot of people are very delusional!”, almost in a shocking tone. The four of them rummage through the Internet to find images of Ronnie from his bodybuilding days, then follow it up with that of Nick’s. 

While Ronnie found the comparison childish, he seemed quite pleased when they heaped praises on him. One of them said that Ronnie Coleman is the best bodybuilder ever—and the King himself couldn’t agree more. Immediately after, he had a different response when they called Nick’s biceps much bigger than his.

Ronnie said, “It’s not about being big. It’s about being symmetrical and shapely”. That is definitely true for any competition and Ronnie has had his more-than-fair share of titles to have earned the experience to say that. 

Ronnie’s honest take on the chances of Nick winning the title

Ronnie finally offers his two cents on Nick’s physique, after watching what he thought, was an extremely hilarious video. He weighed in on Nick’s body and pleaded with them to leave him alone since Nick is trying really hard to build a good physique. Ronnie’s maturity in offering that advice speaks volumes about him.

Ronnie said, “He is big. I will give him that”. However, Ronnie does put Nick in the Top 10 of all bodybuilders going into the Olympia. He was also skeptical about Nick winning the competition because, in Ronnie’s opinion, Big Ramy (Mamdouh Elssbiay), Brandon Curry, William Bonac, and Hadi Choopan are the top contenders for the title and Nick falls behind them.
