Would Michael Francois have beaten Cutler?

[MRMD2003]

mike had the better physique in their primes !!!!  better lines. more balance !!!

[jesusbod]

I liked the hardcore body of Francois and think that he would be tough to beat for Cutler. Compare back and biceps!.
I know that Francois is out of the running, but still a great body (at the Arnold Classic won, by beating Flex Wheeler).

Would KFC Beat Popeyes cooking fried chicken if the Colonel Sanders was still cooking it himself....

I wish these types of "woulda, coulda, shoulda" questions would go away... The points are irrelevant because everyone knows it's not possible for any of this to happen.

Well, Jay got his pro card in 96, right? Mike was still competing, before he got sick, and he and Jay could have competed against one another. Jay would have been about 245-250, whereas Mike would have been about 250.

I agree. No matter how "shredded" Jay gets he still looks smooth and soft. Imagine Jay with a nice degree of vascularity and hardness. That would be impressive.

 He's guest posing in Chicago in December. I'll get some pics.

Jay is a young man and also lives a relatively healthy lifestyle and keeps his weight close to the same all year round. His skin is thick and tight which will show less veins. Some of these other bodybuilders have destroyed their skin with yo yo ing their weight, which stretch's it and also they do rec drugs.

Mike would have taken Cutler's lunch every single time...I think the dude looks better than Dorian did
I have that Flex Magazine, his legs were insane!!!

But I think that the 95 Arnold could have gone either way. Lee Haney said he thought Flex should have won it, he said "Mike was too blocky"

ND got any pics of the 95 Arnold?

hey dude if you can scan that pic of mike francois...this guy was huge as hell and at the same time had awesome lines..i think he was at his biggest when he competed in the arnold 1997..he was like insane huge in that show.

You are a complete dumbass.  Your posts reek of delusion.  A young man who lives a healthy lifestyle.  New flash idiot, professional bodybuilding is about as healthy as being a professional "pie eating contest" contestant.  The amount of gear, GH, insulin and metamphetamines (not to mention diuretics) that any top pro bodybuilder uses to get into contest shape is nothing less than astounding.  I have a friend who got 2nd place at a state show.  He only uses gear (roids).  He is awesome but 5 foot 8 inches and 210 ripped.  If he used GH and insulin and whatever other concoction todays pros are using he would be sick.  Mike Francois, although he used an insane amount of drugs also, did not retire because he used recreational drugs.  The man had Ulcerative Colitis and it almost killed him. At their primes, Francois would have eaten Cutler.  Francois was the one guy of the 90's who could have given Doz a run for the Olympia.  He was superior to Coleman until the latter part of the nineties.

yes... better genetics than culter.. one of my favourite bb's francios... could have been a mr o.. a real mr o mind u... ala coleman.. dorian...haney....

[Mussolini]

Yeah I noticed that.  Jay gets in great condition but just doesn't have the veins popping out. Ronnie's veins are popping like crazy all through the offseason at 320lbs. Paul Dillet had some sick veins too. Mike Francois on his best day beat Flex so I am sure he would beat Jay.

Since when are pro graded on vascularity? If they were Gaspari would have beaten Haney's record.

hulkster,

another example of a great bber that doesnt have everything you think they should - shape, details, taper, etc. (basically everything that ronnie doesnt have).
