Doucette confidently stated,” If I had to say which athlete is going to come out on top I’m going with Hadi Choopan.” He explained Choopan’s incredible conditioning and shredded physique, giving him an edge over other competitors. He also mentioned that Choopan is training even harder than last year. Doucette pointed out Choopan’s victory over Dauda on the Mr. Olympia stage, indicating that Choopan is not ready to lose to Dauda at the Classics.
Doucette compared Samson Dauda and Hadi Choopan, highlighting a key difference. He pointed out that Dauda has a glaring weakness in his back: he lacks the details and glute rations like Choppan, which are seen in any back pose. He mentioned that Dauda’s back is not as strong as Choopan’s back, which is his strength and gives him a winning edge over Dauda.
Continuing his comparison, Doucette highlighted another big difference. This time he talked about their front physique, where Dauda shines more than Choopan. He highlighted Dauda’s impressive physique with a small waist, wide shoulders, and balanced symmetry. Even though Choopan has been in the sport much longer than Dauda, Doucette praised Dauda for constantly improving.
