+ 6 years in a row AC runner up!!.. yes from 2000 to 2005 and for many ppl he deserved to win some of these 6 shows!!..
-
the only 2 bb competitions that matter are the Olympia and the Arnold Classic.
Didn't come 1st in either. Shit physique. Shit bber.
-
He was holding his own against a prime Coleman and Flex. He wasn't that bad I guess.
-
Even from the back :o
-
Cormier was very good. He had the bad luck to peak in an era where some others were even better..

Correct. If he brought that shape now he would be talked about as the next Coleman
-
Cormier is easily one of the best to ever compete.....He was balanced and had great quad separation.
-

hope you are just kidding...
-
yea totally overrated ::) ::)
If he showed up looking like this to the Mr. O it would be his name on the Sandow.
-
Overrated? Watch this vid and think again:
-
haha this is a dumb rant. cormier overrated??? the only "weakness" the dude had was that he was "too perfect." its hard to explain but he was just too balanced all around that it actually worked against him.
-
He should of been 2nd that year ...robbery
-
He is one of the rare ones who is completely str8 AND a bodybuilder. So if anything he is underrated. He rather eats his own shit than sell his cock for men.

PLEASE!!! There are Hall of Fame bodybuilders that never won either show. Cormier's record speaks for itself. And, considering he beat Dexter Jackson in 2005, one week after Dex bested him at the Arnold, it's safe to say that Cormier is one of the best of all time.
And the men who kept him from winning the Arnold.....they only have 13 Sandows among them. ::)
-
I stand by my point. There are much better bber's who didn't win the Olympia. Especially in the same era as Crap Cormier the drunk.
-
So many trolls in this thread....hahahaha

Never said there weren't. But, he's among the top bodybuilders up there. And, I'm referring solely to his professional accomplishments, not his personal shortcomings or demons.
-
this is one of the best bodybuilders of all times and all we see up here are critics.. wtf.. who can be great?
even Coleman isn't good enough, they say that his waist was awful.. lol the man has 8 sandows at his house, remember it
-

he's not even in the top 15 LMAO. That's being generous maybe top 20/25.

you can see why chris couldn't top him:

Name 14 bodybuilders with more wins and top-10 Olympia placings than Cormier.
-

most underrated ever
E
-
chris was an all round "solid" bodybuilder, just didn't have enough to overcome the top dogs then (well at least in the big shows).
-
nothing pops
lack of conditioning
-
This version of Cormier is my favorite bodybuilder of all time
Nothing lacking, perfect physique.
-
I don't think he was overrated. Had a great shape...well, used to.
-
One of the best ever, so many haters on this board.... and he seemed like he was an awesome guy and enjoyed life... with a world class physique why wouldnt you spend your nights in after hours clubs rolling on E with whores all over you.... you only live once.. cormier prob has great stories and i bet he wouldnt change a thing in his past.
-
except not winning an olympia or arnold classic :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
Cormier was not overated at all.
He probably had the best balanced physique of the modern era. Unfortunately, you can lump Cormier in the 'if only' category since you rarely saw him in top, top form. A shame really, since his kind of physique balance is the one that ought to be winning all the shows.
Oh, and his third place at the Olympia behind bubble-Wheeler was a joke. He should have been second.

People talk about Ronnie's genetics , Flex's genetics . Chris trumped them both in natural structure , balance & proportion , I always said he's the black Bob Paris with more size , if anything he was underrated
This is genetics 101
-
Chris is very underrated. He had a great physique and definitely beat Cutler in at least one of the Arnolds.
He held his own in the the toughest era in bodybuilding.
-
most underrated ever
E
this
the fact that he was so unbelieveably PERFECT was his biggest flaw. like the OP said, "no stand out bodyparts". ::) every single muscle is a stand out body part. his aesthetics and muscle density were just astonishing.

true except he never came in hard ( no gay)
conditioning was subpar but def not overrated

I met Cormier for the first time this year. I felt he was more down to earth and a lot more humble than I would think too, especially for a guy who was so strong, especially during his competitive days. He talked about the Mike Tyson situation and I felt he was way more honest about it than most guys would be. I think most guys would say they tried to fight Tyson and that Tyson backed down or something. Instead Cormier just kind of related the events as they happened and didn't try to make himself out to be a tough guy or anything when he easily could have. Cormier is also at a very healthy weight now and may still be running gear but obviously nothing like he used to be and I get the impression he still likes to train but wants to move past the competitive platform and remain behind the scenes and be healthy. He even said in the RX Olympia wrap-up video that it's probably not healthy for Jay to continue to compete so obviously Chris knows the score. Here is the video, but Chris doesn't show up until after the 21:00 mark:
Chris looked awesome in the 1999 Ironman Pro:

what mike tyson situation?!?!?
