“Arnold Looks Like a Kid”: Bodybuilding World Overlooks Arnold Schwarzenegger for Ronnie Coleman

Evaluating the GOAT in any sport is an arduous task. Whether it is tennis, football, bodybuilding, or any other sport. However, the greatest athlete of a generation might be easier to pick, but when the generation changes, several factors change tremendously. Recently, a similar debate arose on social media when Ronnie Coleman shared one of his wishes. Legendary bodybuilder Ronnie Coleman uploaded an Instagram post where he shared his wish he had competed with the great Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Schwarzenegger and Coleman both competed at different times. Moreover, they both penned their names in the history of bodybuilding with their massive achievements. However, they could never compete against each other. In this article, let us have a look at their achievements and fans’ reactions to Coleman’s question.

The Austrian Oak against The King

Arnold Schwarzenegger is not just a legendary bodybuilder, he is the name that popularized bodybuilding. He is the bodybuilder who has inspired future generations to pump iron. Henceforth, the craze to stand beside him and flex are unmatchable. Whether it be the beast Ronnie Coleman or any bodybuilder, every aspiring bodybuilder must have had the wish to compete with Arnold at some point. The King recently took to Instagram to convey his wish to do the same.

While posting the picture of himself and Arnold while posing during their peaks, Coleman wrote his wish in the caption. He wrote, “It would have been an honor to compete alongside @schwarzenegger but unfortunately we were KINGS of different eras in bodybuilding!! Comment your predictions below.”

The conquerors of their times, both dominated their eras. While Arnold Schwarzenegger dominated the 70s and won seven Mr. Olympia titles, Ronnie Coleman dominated the 2000s and won eight consecutive Mr. Olympia titles. However, their comparison isn’t possible because of the training, the machines, and other changes in those 20 years.
