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.

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.

Bob, who do you think is/was the better bodybuilder, Kamali or Prince?

Opinions from others are welcome as well.

This isn't a serious question, right?

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?  :-\

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.

Olympia "placings" doesnt matter. History tells us that most are fixed or "judged" poorly.
