He’s got Lou Ferrigno Syndrome aka lack of charisma and he doesn’t “own it”. If he comes in ripped and acts like he is Mr O, then yeah, I can see him winning it.
Hany gonna give Ramy a Die-A-Bee-tis neck
His posing sucks and he doesn't have Ronnie's ability to shove people out the way like Coleman used to do with Jay when pulling a MM, or King Tamali in that famous gif of his shoving a guy next to him with his elbow.
But there's no "wow" factor with Ramy. It's just a huge blob of muscle, like Kovacs was, with a smaller waist (for now - Palumboism is surely on the horizon).
Dexter had that shock and awe factor when he'd tense up his obliques and abs. Ronnie had it when he flexed 290lbs of shredded, vein-strewn muscle in 2003 and 2004. Jay never had it, but many respect his 2001 showing when he was just 28 and almost gave Ron a run for his money. Haney had it for his time period. Yates, too. Phil never had it, but his back was the best on stage as were his arms, by a long mile. Ramy is just the biggest, with a few obvious physical weaknesses like his calves and midsection detail. His arms aren't particularly great. He reminds me of Zack Kahn.
