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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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:
