Yeah...seems like everyone forgot that Mike Francois won his first 4 pro shows. It drives me nuts when these writers talk about Phil Heath's 2-for. "Nobody since Flex Wheeler has won their first pro show..."Whatever.sorry, it just pisses me off that nobody remembers Mike.
It pisses me off that nobody remembers Orville Burke.
Did he win any shows? I am not trying to flame, just curious, I can't remember. He was a big dude too, although I remember Francois won the Arnold in the 90's or something wasn't it?
I don't think Burke won anything on the pro lever...Maybe Toronto?Mike won the Chicago Pro and Night of Champions in 1994 and the Arnold and San Jose in 1995.
Francios was one of the TOP competitors in the mid nineties. He was the Dexter Jackson of his day, not physique wise but threat-wise.
Calves are too good to be Dex
