    Lee Priest is the greatest 212 of all time. Ray looked and weighed the same forever, and was a complete tool-then and now. Priest brought many looks, and epic size to that size range. Priest is also such a legend that he'd have chosen to compete in the open rather than hide in the 212.

    Man, these competitors are not hiding in the 212. Easier to hide in the Open class as everyone's looking at the top three and ignoring the rest.

    Really dislike the 212 class personally. People sucking down and going mental with water loss to scrape into the class, rather than building themselves to the maximum. We'll have same problem with Classic Physique. At the Olympia level I'd like to just see all the pro's compete against each other. If you are too short and noncompetitive then that's how the cookie crumbles. Better that than have people who are second rate bbers claiming to be Mr Olympia. Priest, even whiny Ray, Benaziza et al all stoff next to the big guys and did extremely well.

    GREAT to see something positive about Ray. He makes it very easy to dislike him. :-/
