I think it is very possible. This is how it works.
Rank 1 goes to Phil all day long
Rank 2 goes to Kai
Rank 3 goes to Branch
Rank 4 goes to Wolf
This is how the judges have them based on their last placings
Now Kai has come as low as 7th when he missed his mark and I hate to say this but Branch is over-rated, so if Kai is off Wolf deserves 2nd considering he nails it. It's a stretch but very possible, I say a 15% chance Wolf places second, 30% chance Branch gets second and a 40% chance Kai gets second and a 15% someone else leap frogs these 3
This. Of course I really don't know about the percentages stated but I believe he is correct. I am no fan of Heath but he is very well built and in comparison to his two most recent predecessors, fairly articulate. Mr. Olympia should also be capable of stringing together a sentence that makes sense. Phil can do this and again, is where he is because of this coupled with a physique most can only dream of having.
Kai stinks. Huge but ignorant and his past should keep him from the Sandow. Branch Warren could use some aesthetics but as that's not really his calling card it ain't gonna happen. Outside of his sorry calf development I would choose the Wolf for at least second but only if as stated above in the quote, he nails it.
