That dude in the middle is massive. Delts, abs, lats, and lean. He could have dropped a couple more pounds but I wouldn’t say he is 4th there at all. But I am no judge for sure.
So, somehow the dude on the far right doesn’t win? I do not understand Bobybuilding. Dude makes the other guys look anorexic and small.
Hard to say from those pics as they are not poses. He definitely looks much bigger but also looks very thick/blocky through the middle

Yeah, you can never judge a contest on just a few pics here and there. There are specific poses that the judges compare, categories where they specifically assess certain criteria etc etc.
Also, very often just a ton of “size” can work against a competitor if they end up just appearing blocking, or asymmetrical compared to others in the lineup.

Dude looks like a comic book superhero. I cannot imagine wanting any of the other physiques on that stage if his is available. His arms must be several inches bigger than everyone else’s, not to mention the legs. And the pec development just makes the other guys look sad. Even from the front he has huge calves. I understood who was winning and why when Arnold competed, but Bobybuilding has just lost perspective these days. You shouldn’t be that detatched from what any “Outsider” can see, especially not when it’s that obvious.
I remember Lee Labrada when he won the Teenage Mr Jacksonville. I believe he was only 17 when he won. He had nice size and extremely good symmetry. At that time Lee went by the name “Elito”. My guess it was a Cuban name. We all called him Elito.
Nick is truly is genetic freak, very massive, thick, and dense AND shredded. The appearance of the veins in his calves is troublesome IMO.
When I see varicose veins like that it typically makes me think that someone has been hammering the androgens and ended up with “gloopy/thick” blood. To me, it looks like it’s a heart attack waiting to happen.
