Cormier is a legend. The guy looks sick, and was even mentioned in the movie John Q. Some may not like his attitude but his physique speeks for itself
He is already one of the greatest ever.

I've been having this discussion with more than one person lately on "potential" and who has potential and how sometimes people do the exact opposite of what you would think they would one way or another.

In my opinion, potential means precisely nothing.  In Cormier's case, "he could beat Coleman if he tried" and all this nonsense - so WHAT?  Does that change the fact that he ISN'T trying?  That he is pissing away his alleged but completely unproven ability to dethrone Coleman?  Instead of busting his ass in the gym, eating a grocery store, and upping the GH and steroid intake like Coleman has been doing he would rather party year round and do lines of blow off the backs on multiple fitness babes before sleeping with them (probably all of them at once).

Point is, it doesn't mean diddly squat that Cormier has "potential" because he will take this "potential" to the grave instead of to the stage.  Coleman will be walking on stage at 305 shredded and Cormier will be puking out 10 pounds of fullness and copius E's and blaming it on a stomach virus.

In short - potential is a MEANINGLESS word.  It describes something that shouldn't even really be discussed to begin with.

Discuss.

Excellent POST, Matt...I wouldn't doubt if Cormier pulls a Dougie Howser off the asses of white fitness/figure ho's...

 All I know...in true typical lazy nig nog fashion...he'd rather blame 'The Man' and be preoccupied with baby mama drama, bitches/ho's, sit in front of the t.v. and play GameCast and/or watch BET and text message mark tricks instead of keeping the eye on the prize and staying focused.

  I get ragged on for being a racist with my views of Cormier...in an MD about 3 issues ago Cormier had this little tidbit in his article about how his son, Kiviok(gay name) wrestled and pinned to the ground and defeated I quote: "a blonde hair blue eye kid". Uh huh...why couldnt Cormier say how his son simply defated another kid in a great match. Imagine if someone like...Yates said how his son defeated a "velcro haired baboon mouth niglet? Imagine that.

 I give Cormier siht because he deserves it...it's just the truth...plain and simple. Maybe I'll motivate him a little if he reads this, which, I am sure he does...

Two types of potential:

1/ Deserved-Dillet

2/ Imaginary, no basis whatsoever in reality-Cormier. Even if he trained hard, the usual excuse, I see nothing there to justify the hype or any indication that he would be that much better for it. This type of potential's unprovable thus the rhetoric lingers.
Jordan was consistent, Woods is quite erratic. That's beside the fact as has already been mentioned, there's more to being an all-round basketball player, though that's just an opinion.

Jordan has gotten abundant acolades.

Best athlete of all time? Too many to unequivocally say Jordan.


Please explain how Woods is "erratic"!

For 8 straight years he's been ranked #1 the most weeks of the year.  For 7 of the last 8 years he's been ranked #1 at the end of the year (he was barely edged out by Vijay Singh in '04 because Vijay played many more tournaments)...

At the end of last year (2005) he'd won as many majors as the rest of the top 10 in the World Golf Rankings. 

If that isn't complete an utter domination I don't know what is.  Of course golf being a week to week game and a game where you are competeing against a field he can't win all or even half of the time.  Let's give Tiger the scenario Jordan had in his sport, Tiger against any other golfer in the world match play best of 7.  Would he ever lose, NO!

Get back to me when you catch a clue...

ND has basically been look like a fool to the point where he is probably embarrassed to show himself on these boards again.

The growing video/clip evidence clearly proving every single thing he ever said about 1999 Ronnie as being wrong probably was too much.

that and the fact that Dorian's asshole was not loose enough yet :-X :-*

he has to keep working at it ya know :)



I've been posting less because I've been working more . and the funny thing is that you have zero confidence in your opinion being right to leave it alone to stand on its own merits. but in almost every tread you post in it all comes back to you forcing your tired opinion and its because you lack confidence in it and have to remind everyone.

And you keep clinging to the argument ad populum. if everyone says its so it must be.  thats pathetic and baseless , and the only thing you've proven in these debates is how much of a zealot you are and how obsessed with me you are , if my assesment & opinions were so out of the loop and so absurd you would have simply laughed them off a long time ago and would have continued on with a quiet confidence knowing  you're right and your insistance to do otherwise proves my point  ;)

Anyway Cormier had the potential to be the greatest bodybuilder , he has all the requirments , size , aesthetics , structure , balance , proportion , no real weaknesses etc , but where he and Flex Wheeler failed to reach their full potential was in thinking that once the work-out was over thats was it and its not

You put Dorian Yates or Ronnie's sensibility in Cormiers head when he was young and he would probably never be beaten by anyone . the old addage applies if you're doing X then your competition is doing X and Y and Z . While Chris is smoking blunts with Victor Martinez , Dorian Yates was measuring his food . while Chris was not giving 100% in his work-outs becuse he was out till 3 a.m. clubbing Ronnie Coleman was setting new standards for work-out insanity

Chris made his choices and he never was able to stay as focused as Ronnie or Yates , it reminds me of something Mike Tyson said once , he said when he was young & hungry ( and poor ) he would eat nails and he would do anything to succeed , but after he was super rich he said its extremly hard to get out of bed in your masion to go running at 5 a.m.

Chris became complaciant and it cost him. he could have dominated the sport with Ronnie in it but the sport is filled with guys like Chris and always will , you need more than just a great physique to be the greatest.

Very good post. It seems like the real true champions have something inside them that makes defeat totally unacceptable, where losing is almost worse than dying. Michael Jordan didn't just "want" to win. He had to win. There was no other option. Dorian looked at each workout as a brick he had to place into the wall of winning the Olympia. McGough tells a story of how Dorian wouldn't drink New Years Eve because he had to work legs the next day and wanted to be sharp. That's ten months from the Olympia but Dorian had to do everything possible even then to assure success. Chad Nichols says he knows Ronnie never cheats on his precontest diet even once. The thought of cheating never even enters his mind. I like Chris and think he probably should have won the Arnold at least once, but I don't think it really eats at him like it would a true champion. I believe he wants to win, but he feels his life is pretty good even without the victories and thus he won't make the sacrifice to push himself to the next level. It's sad, he really could have been one of the best.

"Debating" that Dorian Yates is better than Coleman is not too far off from "debating" that I am better than Coleman in my opinion.

  Matt C: you are a moron.

  The End.

  My point was not that, moron. I have no problems with anyone saying that they think Ronnie is better. I don't agree with it, but I can accept that opinion. But you, a complete nobody, comparing yourself to a six-time Sandow winner is pathetic. Not even a top NPC Nationals competitor would say something so idiotic. At their respective bests, either Ronnie or Dorian would edge out the other by a very slim margin. You saying that Coleman is as far ahead as Dorian as he is from you is like saying that you're as good as Dorian. You poor, pathetic little internet loser! ::)

Quote
I think it's safe to say that more than 50% of members here would agree that the Dorian/Ronnie debate is silly since Ronnie is so far ahead of Dorian

  When Gallileo said the Earth was round, 99.9999%+ of all people disagreed with him. And guess what? He was right and everybody else was wrong. Statististics and polls don't mean shit when it comes to assessing the truth.

Quote
as he proved once again tonight.

  He didn't prove shit, since Dorian didn't compete tonight and Dozer never was defeated by Ronald. ;)
