Although mike was good, he'd be considered lucky to do Nasser's paint job backstage

Interviewed Mike a wack of times. Friendly and very down-to-earth.

If he hadn't gotten sick, he would likely have won many more pro shows and possibly taken an O or two.

Better overall than Nasser. I hung with both men (worked out with Nasser once at Monster Gym in Toronto) and can say without doubt that Francois was MUCH more impressive. The girth and thickness of his wheels was historic.

I actually think Mike having to leave bodybuilding was the best thing for him, in the long run. He was very serious about his competing but seemed to suffer a great deal because of the pressures he put upon himself. I won't go further into detail.

mike vs. nasser hard to say,who would have been better,since mikes career was cut short,one thing is mike had the back needed to win the o.but nasser was beating him a lot toward the end of mikes short career.he did have one of the best physiques durung the most competitive days in the sport.he is one of the guys that would have made the competitions even more interesting if he had stayed healthy,just for the fact that with his back,huge quads and overall thickness he could have given dorian and ronnie a run for the money.makes me thinkl of how back in the day if rory and mendenhall would have got pro- cards it may have changed the landscape of the olympia in the 80s,at least had changed the top five.

Lifted heavy.  His physique showed it as he was dense top to bottom.

Also a devote Catholic and family man.



so thats why he never won. He wouldnt put out for the schmoes.

Never sold soiled underwear over the internet.

Never did gay for pay.

Doesn't belong to generation nothingness.

Well spoken and educated man.

Mike was a very good BB but Nasser was a great BB

Mike was gifted teh NOC 94 over Nasser BIG TIME gift

Mike knew Nasser was superior- which is why he begged Nasser to move to Ohio to be his training partner so Mike could learn (sponge off for free) all of Nasser's training and drug knowledge

His torso was too long.

Guys with long torso's all suffer the shortfall of shitty backs such as Nasser El Sonbaty and Mike Matarazzo.

However, Francois had an incredible back.  He overcame his structural flaws to become what Arnold Schwarzenegger called "NO WEAK POINTS".

Sadly we never saw mike francoiis' best

Great torso and limbs, slightly blocky, but carried a lot of mass on his frame, still had a taper

He wouldve probably improved and been a regular top 6, maybe top 3 at mr o


I agree with all of the above.  But this contest cannot be decided on what could have been.  Nasser was tier 1.  Mike was tier 2. :P

Nasser comes across as the type of guy who would religiously play darts with an old poster of Dorian in Daisy Dukes every morning for an hour after finishing breakfast.

Nasser could have learned how to train correctly from Mike. Nasser's training was a joke

Ronnie, Mike, and Kevin's training sessions made Nasser's look like a sick joke

Mike would of been better than Nasser with a few more years of abuse but he got sick so you cant compare as the best of Mike was yet to come.

something a lot of you are ignoring is that mike as his best shape was 240 pounds.. beside an on nasser he always looked small and nasser had him beat in all poses except the 2 rear..

to say that "if" he reached his limit is like saying "if" nasser had a better back so it's pointless..
