Prince all day
-
there's no question that pics of prince at his peak blow kamali away.
however, i just wonder whether tom can still be considered the "better bodybuilder" when what he did to achieve his physique caused him to retire prematurely from the game and live the rest of his life as a twink with medical issues? (not that kamali's walking around with a pro physique to brag about; he's clearly developed palumboism over time.)
-
this is a joke right.. Prince and King dont belong in the same sentence...Prince by a country mile
-
Lol!! Prince is a very underated pro! Kamali has the aesthetics of a watermelon!
-
shari was the victim of one big hype.

Prince was Branch before Branch..

Prince or Tamali. Paper or Plastic.

Today King might be a tad better that Prince. Plus he got kidneys.

that's the case for kamali being the better bodybuilder.

Much better than Branch.
-
am i the only one having an insane desire to post that legendary pic of prince's meat... ::)
i just was told some time ago that it's not a good idea... :-\
-
Prince by far
-
Much better than Branch.
oh yeah.. i know that.. i was just saying like he had tons of muscle mass like branch. but Prince looked better IMO
-
:)
-
Who's a better BB King?
-
Prince by far
Yep. How do you think Prince compares to Mike Francois? I know he never peaked properly and had a poor competitive streak as a pro, but weren't they of similar height and muscularity?
Too bad both of them retired way too early due to health issues. Tom was a freak in his prime and a league or 2 above Kamali, who had a slightly better run as a pro.

That's actually a good comparison , Tom may have had the edge on the lower body and Mike on the upper , lots of potential on both cut short

Yes, although it's crazy that Prince had an edge over Francois on legs, which was one of Mike's freakiest body parts.
Either of them would've cleaned up this year's Arnold Classic and placed in the top 4 of the last few Olympias easy, IMO.

You make a good point I think the both would trample anyone at the Arnold too , it seems the the gene-pool is dwindling in the sport these days

Yeah, Tom and Mike would clean up against today's competition.
I think if they both had stayed healthy Mike would have ended up the better bodybuilder. He already had an Arnold victory and he seemed more mentally stable and focused than Tom. He stayed in Columbus away from the drama and nonsense and just put in the hard work. I can't imagine him ever getting on a message board and engaging in the bullshit that Tom did.
Mike reminded me of Dorian a lot with his work ethic and demeanor.
-
Prince could have been Mr O possibly... if he didn't turn into a junkie crackhead and slam nubain all day long.
Kamali? LOL!!

Spot on and ditto for me, as far as Mike goes - back in the mid 90s, I thought he'd win the Olympia after Dorian retired. He lifted pretty heavy too.
-
yes, prince was a higher tier pro than kamali.
yes, kamali has advanced stage palumboism, but prince rendered himself a twink for life.
tom would probably kill to have king's physique today and health issues.
so in determining who is/was the "better bodybuilder", you guys are saying that it's irrelevant if one of them seriously fucks up his health permamently because of bodybuilding? :-\

Francois.

Tom

Kamali. For three reasons. 1. He placed better in an Olympia than Prince ever did. 2. He doesn't look as though he has stage 4 cancer as Prince does. 3. To the best of my knowledge he has never "brown bagged" it as Prince used to do.

kamali got 10th at the 01 olympia
i think prince was out of the top 15

Olympia "placings" doesnt matter. History tells us that most are fixed or "judged" poorly.
-
What a great future both these fine young lads had ahead of them.....
-
at their peak? or today?
Id still give that to Prince :D Tamali looks like 400 pounds of shit stuffed into a 50 pound bag
-
Prince. All the way Prince.
-
I was always a fan of Tom, his triceps and hams were almost perfect in ever way. Had tons of mass, was easily one of the strongest guys in the gym if legend is true and has a ton of potential which went unrealised. When he got 3rd in NOC i thought the time was changing and he was starting to figure out how to get in top shape, but unfortunately (as is the case for all of us in 1 way or another) life took a poor turn for him.
Excellent bodybuilder, his physique had no real weaknesses to speak of and he was far more likely to be able to row a 300lb dumbbell than Kamali (we have all seen the pic!) I once saw an off season pic of Tom hitting a side chest which emphasised his insane thickness, never been able to find it again.

There the prime example of fit-for-life athletes

Prince was one of the few pros who actually took something close to the GH15 pro stack

Prince by a country mile!

you make very valid points

Tom's great grand dad was Asian

Why?
Because once you go Asian, you never go caucasian ? :)

If you ever read muscle mayhem and saw the archived thread about how much a pro spends on a stack, Prince 'claimed' to spend $1200 for the "Night of Champions" where placed 3rd.

maybe tom did spend only $1200 and he received the bulk of his stash in exchange for other (personal) services?
-

really? ???
-
which one is the better bodybuilder is a tossup,kamali had better placings in shows,but he never displayed as good a physique as prince did when he finished 3rd at the n.o.c.
-

I personally don't believe Prince's claim, hence why the word is in quotation marks. I think that was probably a 2-3wk price tag for him.
Can't believe everything you read, right?

here it is... :o

Tom Prince.....by way of a wider bathroom stall stance.

another key point is that kamali hasn't officially retired from competition yet (as far as i know) and so king (unlike tom) can still win a future mr. olympia.
-
Tamali looks like that kid that was supposed to be "all that" -- can't think of his name. "Bloofy?"
-
if branch can win shows tamali certainly can
-
It could be argued that Kamali has placed better at times but none of us really believe that King was in Prince's league. The better question really would be Prince or Francois. In which case I'd say Francois.

QFT...francois had a lot better upper body and legs to match...prince, to be brutally honest, was only hams and tris...maybe delts...mike also had that solid, granite-like look, guys nowadays seem to lack...maybe he truly had a foundation, who knows ??? continuing being brutally honest neither of those guys truly had flow in there physiques...prince maybe had a better structure but he kinda messed up with it in his later years...francois was able to keep his waist tight etc but he just was born with that blocky look...nowhere near as bad as current mr o though...
-
Chick, it's admirable that you're having difficulty choosing between your two amigos, but your silence is a shame since few can provide your valuable insight as a man who has intimate familiarity with both of these warriors.
-
Kamali was able to place considerably higher at the Olympia, Arnold, and Ironman.

you mean chick's checked both fellas and their best assets inside out...
-
prince was better his body just couldn't handle stress needed to get bigger,harder,ect over and over that is needed to be a top placing pro.other factors also with other substances added to that equation.he looked great when he turned pro but he tried to push the formula to the next level and got sick.

Think about it, if it was fake would you go with a two incher or a John Holmes special?

Bob, you must be really torn between favouring one of your iron brothers over another and so instead, how bout King vs. Rusty or Tom vs. Rusty?
