Don't see how this assesment can be made until we see his condition and what the rest of the field brings.
I think his winning last year shows more of how lousy the competition is these days as compared to years' past.
This assessment is close to an 100% lock. The IFBB judges wouldn't dare to judge Mr. Marketability fairly against the rest of the field.
And yes, today's competition is nowhere near the standard of excellence set in the 90s with Levrone, Coleman, Wheeler, Labrada, Cormier, Ray, Sonbaty, Dillett and the like. However, that doesn't relate to the fact Jay has won numerous contests grossly out of condition. The 2004 Arnold was a joke and the 2007 Olympia was icing on the cake.
