People are confusing a 3rd place victory with the body of someone who should be in 3rd place. Yes, he came in 3rd place because he was top 3, but his physique was really not top 3 caliber. He was 3rd place because the rest of the line up was rather shitty. Doesn't mean he has a 3rd place body.
Kind of like Phil. yes, he is mr. olympia, but not because he has an olympia looking body, but because he is not competing 10-15 years ago.
