He was doing well when he turned Pro , beating Flex Wheeler is no small feat. He made a lot of improvements too , one can only wonder what he could have done.

Awesome shot of my homeboy, Flex. But I can see how Mike got the edge in that pose.

He's harder especially in the legs

The thing about Francios was he was very humble. He actually was going to be a priest, believe it or not.

Him and his wife loved to drive around and look at houses.... he wasnt caught up in the bad side of bodybuilding.

Wasnt he and Nassir pretty good friends?

I would have loved to see him and Dennis Newman battle it out but that never came to be....

Munzer is way harder than Flex and also edges Francios. At least from the back in that pic  8)

You're right. But I'm gonna be biased here and say Flex should have won!  :P

Nope. That would be either the IronMan or the Florida Pro show. In both cases, he squeaked by Aaron Baker to pick up the win.

it was just a black thing Francois had Wheelers number that day, if Flex looked like 93 would have been a different story but he didnt and the right man won.

I think it was
1st position,Flex Wheeler-Kidney transplant
           2nd position, Mike Francois- Colostomy Bag for life
           3rd position, Andreas Munzer- Dead

           Wow, the greatness of being a bodybuilder!
