Arnold used him to move up in a certain period. That makes that we pay him respect.
Had huge wide back once, one of the first......rest was ok at best, terrible at worst.

Sadly, Franco became obsessed with hiding his gyno and receding hairline and started looking a wee bit foolish.

You clearly don't like the guy so your opinion is biased and therefore not valid.

I have a 1982 Muscle and Fitness magazine where he states that both his biceps and calves were almost up to 19" in preparation for his 1981 Mr. O.

He sucked? WOW, I'd like to see you achieve the look he had in the pics I provided of him on page 1. He far from sucked. You're clearly just a hater and letting your emotions taint your opinion as facts which they are far from.

Dude, I'm not trying to make you laugh. I could give 2 shits about that. It's in the damn magazine. Whether it's true or not is not the point. Just stating what he said.

Franco and Mentzer had the most impressive looking physiques - they looked somewhat like genetically modified cavemen.
Franco appeared to be somewhat of a cocky dwarf though... understandable when even a house cat portrayed lethal danger.  :(
