CC had the type of physique that one could keep adding muscle to, he had the potential to be another Ronnie, but I think the 6 ASC 2nd place finishes really fucked up his head, because 2 of those (against Cutler, he outright won them), seriously he beat Cutler from the front and when they turned around, Cutler's severe lack of back detail was very noticable.
Cormier had a better structure, and he was still growing, he could have been 275 and looked great, he had Better abs than Taylor, better back, better legs (thigh rods were insane) arms were a draw, chest as well, they both had great calves.
