seriously, if he had stayed healthy, I wonder if he could have been Mr O. Just incredible shape and size.

I think Tom is one of the few pros who had the probably had the potential to get to Ronnie's size.

Too bad Advil took him from the sport, huh?

One of many problems with Tom Princess was that he tried to play the mass game.

He would've been awesome at around 230-240. Would've looked enormous. But perhaps the guy didn't have patience.

And that resulted in the gut monster look.

That infamous kiddy table post he wrote...

Wasn't that many months before his health problems I think.

Nah, something about how natties were sitting at the kiddy table and the real hardcore juicing lifters were at the grown up table or something like that. How natties were a bunch of pussies. Pure gold. Unbelievable post.

Those were truly the days...

Then he had his health misfortunes.

Remember, according to Tom Prince, it's not the drugs that make a top bodybuilder, it's hard work and eating.

Maybe he blew his ass out taking too much PGF2a...I hear they are related compounds...so "advil" wouldn't be such a stretch

Blew his ass out?

I remember how Princess told us how he trained at a gay gym, didn't they have a good standing calf raise machine or something...

...don't know about him getting his ass blown out though.

What was getbig like when news broke of his ailment? Somber? Celebratory?

And how would you rate his presence compared to today's contemporaries?

I could be wrong about this, but if you look at these pics of Prince,

http://www.musclemayhem.com/forums/showthread.php?p=718998#post718998

about half way down the page, it just looks to me like he has a sterile bandage over a fistula for kidney dialysis on his left forearm. Having worked it the medical profession for years and seen a lot of kidney dialysis patients, this just look typical. I could be wrong…

For those of us who are banned like dogs, can you screenshot the pic? Thanks, Greg, RN!

Tom was great but he had a long waist and short legs so he would not have been the best of the best IMO (Mr O). Too goofy looking.

It was mostly a 'you deserved it, you pieve of shit' type of deal... when Tom was on the boards he was a real dick/asshole to everyone, it's no wonder him Chick and Kamali are best of friends. Some people felt bad, but a lot of people had been burned/slammed by TP so...

Wombat · « **Reply #16 on:** June 20, 2006, 08:27:41 PM »

the guy has only done a couple of shows...As far as a competing bodybuilder at the pro level, he doesn't have the competition history to be considered anything close to great...

i disagree. tp looked incredible at the 2001 NOC, that he should have won at a bw of about 260.

LuciusFox · « **Reply #18 on:** June 20, 2006, 08:47:17 PM »

We're probably all glad that he is alive, regardless of how we feel about him personally.

are we shocked by what drugs can do?

sammy1980 · « **Reply #22 on:** June 21, 2006, 05:24:01 AM »

the guy (prince) looked best at around 230lbs, he should have stayed at that weight and polished his physique. 90% of the pros looked best at lighter bodyweights (including ruhl...check out how he looked like when he won the german championship in the mid 90s..). Fucking amazing physique in that pic...

Scimowser · « **Reply #23 on:** June 21, 2006, 05:28:25 AM »

size wise he was bigger than just about anybody who isnt ronnie coleman. His legs were amazing, his hams were so big they looked photoshopped and his side chest was almost unmatched for thickness. Genetic freak doesnt begin to describe his potential but as you say, the drugs ended his career without him doing any kind of damage in the sport. Just another great "coulda been" in a long, long line

Strength wise he was supposed to be untouchable

rocket · « **Reply #24 on:** June 21, 2006, 05:28:45 AM »

Anybody who used to read his posts will know that Tom Prince had a mood for every occasion. I'm sure he's a whole lot less "female" in that regards now that he is off teh juice.
