The ‘Hulkster’ is also friends with many celebrities that include bodybuilding legend, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Ronnie Coleman was answering questions on his YouTube channel by the same name. The former eight-time Mr. Olympia spoke about his recovery from surgeries and also which social media influencers he follows. He was asked who he could take on in the ring between Hulk Hogan or boxing legend Mike Tyson in his prime. He said he didn’t think he could take on Tyson, but had more of a chance against Hogan.

Coleman replied, “Actually, I probably could have jumped in the ring with Hulk Hogan. … I think I could probably give him a run for money.”

He also discussed how Hogan reached out to him while the WWE Hall of Famer was going through a recovery process after surgery. Coleman himself is no stranger to training after multiple surgeries.

He stated, “Hulk Hogan kind of like reached out to me. You know in his sport, he had a lot of injuries also with his back and in my sport I’ve had a lot of injuries and with my back we’re both still you know trained hard each and every single day trying our best to get better so yeah I wouldn’t mind trying to get in the ring with him and see what I can do”.

Hogan, who has dealt with many back surgeries over the years, once showcased his admiration for Coleman. He referred to the former Mr. Olympia as his hero.

There seems to be a lot of mutual respect between the two legends. Years after leaving their respective sports, these two continue to inspire people all over the world. Coleman still trains in the gym, despite many surgeries, while ‘Hulkamania’ will always run wild.

Hogan versus Coleman bicep comparison

A wrestling match between the two may not be possible now, but a comparison between these two muscular guys can be made in terms of their biceps.

Hogan, who was close to 300lbs with a muscular build, had 24-inch biceps. He would often refer to them as his 24-inch pythons. Coleman, on the other hand, had a chiseled physique with his biceps measuring around 22 inches. So we see that ‘The Hulkster’ beats out Coleman in their biceps comparison. A pretty impressive feat for the former WWE wrestler.

As for a match between the two, prime Hulk Hogan versus prime Ronnie Coleman, who you got?
