Title: Does Branch's physique remind anyone of Nasser's in his prime?
Post by: GHGut on May 19, 2007, 11:37:48 AM
Sure, Branch has more outlandish legs, but he reminds me of Nasser in the way he's hard all over except in his back. Back was always a problem for Nasser at his heavier weights, no matter what conditioning he came in his back looked smooth, watery and lacked detail compared to everything else. Not a knock on Warren--being compared to a guy who nearly dethroned Yates is a compliment, and at that level it really is all nit-picking cause the physiques are super.

to a point. i feel though nasser was alittle better though. while branch has time to improve most would argue nasser could or should have been mr. o in 97. nasser was a real solid contendor at any contest.

Nasser's physique looked a lot better.

I think Branch matches Nasser muscle per muscle though.

I would have to see branch in some cut-off jean sorts and some red suspenders to make a good comparison.

It would also help if he was wearing work boots with some thick scrunchy socks.

Would he need to be on a motorcycle?

No, but some wire rimmed glasses and a cut up flannel shirt might help.

Besides the back, Nasser was on par with Dorian at his prime and I don't think Branch could beat any of them at their best.
