He was also 26 at the time, not 41

True.  Im a cormier fan, but torn muscles are the end of a career.  See Alex Federov.

Didn't stop Chris D. in 1982 or Dorian Y. from 1994-1997.

Levrone did win it, in 94, 96, and should have won in 98 but lost to Nasser- won the most muscular though!

http://www.musclememory.com/show.php?s=Kevin+Levrone&g=M

Priest never won it, and shouldn't have- especially with guys like Cormier competing. Their structure is completely different. Torso lengths, the V-taper/X-Frame look etc.... Priest is nowhere near the BBer Cormier is....when both at their peaks. More entertaining Priest is on the boards- that's for sure.

It is a shame that Chris never won one of the bigger contests.
I still think he should have won in 2000, but he lost to Flex when he'd won the Ironman a week earlier against the same Flex. :(

Actually, Flex Wheeler won in 98, Nasser 2nd, Vince Taylor 3rd & Jean Pierre Fux 4th.
