Cormier deserved to the win the Arnold on at least 2 occasions and should have won the '99 Olympia. I think his reputation hindered him- sort of like Kai actually
his reputation didn't hinder him from beating shawn ray, which he couldn't do either. and shawn never maxed out his potential, because he refused to compete over 212. if shawn was at last night's O, he would have taken his usual 3rd - 5th place spot.
cormier never really put it together to beat the best. instead, he beat up on melvin anthony in 10k shows. review shawn's inside and out to see what i mean.
