The Menace Podcast<\/em> panel felt that all three men looked incredible, host Dennis James believed that a comparison between Samson Dauda and Ronnie Coleman was in order.<\/p>\nHow Does Samson Dauda Compare to Ronnie Coleman?<\/h2>\n
Introducing Dauda to the guest posing stage on May 17, emcee Bob Cicherillo said it best. \u201cThere\u2019s big, there\u2019s bigger, and then there\u2019s this guy,\u201d he announced, before the Dauda, weighing somewhere in the region of 350 pounds treaded the boards. While Dennis James was unsurprised by Andrew Jacked\u2019s consistent competition winning physique, he also took a moment to express his surprise at Derek Lunsford\u2019s gain. \u201cDerek was f*****g humongous,\u201d he told Chris Cormier and Milos Sarcev. Still, as relates to Dauda, The Menace was really taken aback. \u201cPoint number two, I have never, in my whole f******g life, seen a bodybuilder that big,\u201d shared the host, who is a former Mr Universe in his own right.<\/p>\n
Cormier shared his agreement, noting that despite his size, Dauda\u2019s abs were still defined. \u201cAnd I\u2019ve seen Ronnie (Coleman),\u201d continued James. \u201cListen, if you see Ronnie at 330 pounds, guest posing, of course, he has the same size, and probably bigger (legs). I don\u2019t know if the legs can get bigger. Samson was f*****g humungous.\u201d<\/p>\n
Being mentioned in the same conversation as Ronnie Coleman is a complement that Samson Dauda would take great pleasure in hearing. The man they call \u201cThe King\u201d shares the all-time record for most Mr Olympia wins alongside Lee Haney, with eight trophies taken between 1998 and 2005.\u00a0 Dauda is hoping to add his second title this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to say (Dauda was) bigger than Ronnie, because I don\u2019t think anybody was bigger than Ronnie, at his biggest, but for right now, I was interested to see him next to Andrew,\u201d said James. \u201cAnd I hate to say it for him, next to Andrew, you know Andrew was in shape, so don\u2019t get me wrong, he creates more of an illusion, too, because he was still in shape. But, next to Samson, he looked kinda stringy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cormier agreed, noting that jacked looked \u201clanky\u201d in comparison to Dauda. \u201cYeah, don\u2019t let me say stringy,\u201d said James, correcting himself in favor of Cormier\u2019s assessment. Chris Cormier continued that after what he saw on stage in Pittsburgh, he considered that the 2026 Olympia could become a showdown between the current and former champions.<\/p>\n
