Who was supposed to be winning during all those years exactly?
x2 this is the central question. Someone else said it best early on in this thread: Phil is the best of a very mediocre generation in the IFBB.
Here are the first three runners-up in each year Philsulina won:
2017: Ramy, Bonac, Dexter
2016: Rhoden, Dexter, Ramy
2015: Dexter, Rhoden, Wolf
2014: Kai, Rhoden, Wolf
2013: Kai, Wolf, Rhoden
2012: Kai, Rhoden, Dexter
2011: Cutler, Kai, VMart
Who should have won and why?
I'm not saying I think Phil should have won all of these, I just think it makes for interesting debate. Rhoden is probably the most "complete" of this group with the fewest flaws.
Bonac looked incredible in 2017. He was like a little mini-Ronnie and should have totally won (if you are ok with Mr. O being 5'4").
