I am pretty sure he tried to get there tho, but I agree he could have been one of the great.

there is no way he couldn't have placed ahead of Cutler with enough drive and focus
Not placing ahead of Cutler is what broke him---after that he placed behind Dex at the Arnold...basically he saw himself being replaced by youger and some cases inferior bbers, like Cutler. I have the Flex and Musclemags that covered Cormier's loses...he was better than Cutler, yet the writers came up with excuses. Cormier's past with Ahmo Hight and partying are the culprits that I blame.
He consisting came in shape, didn't blow his prep, great poser, had that ab pose, yet he wasn't going that crazy weight route---he was slowly adding weight. Aesthetically more pleasing than Kev or Ronnie...
Now he and Melvin Anthony can compete for biggest baby head.

Kevin was only strong on pressing movements from what ive seen ie bench, shoulders. And thats a really good curl for a guy his size too, mostly the big men curl that kind of weight.

Yeah, he was hailed as the strongest pro. Not even close. I mean, strong guy, sure, but what else besides his incline was crazy impressive? How about that squat pictorial with him doing 675 ... and the rep(s) sucked, anyway. Hell, for the era, Mike Francois would have eaten him alive if it was a contest of poundage moved.

And regardless of his one-time strength, it was mostly drugs. I am clean, weigh almost 300 (been lifting for 25 years) and would demolish these cats, big time.    
LOL Mike Francois!
Another beast all drugs!
Look at him now he weight no more than 170 pounds!

I see a pattern forming here. the only thing that genetics dictate in regard to bodybuilding is bone structure and muscle shape.

Lou Ferrigno did them seated in pumping iron. I don't think that's too impressive for a guy like Kevin...

And I say that because there's videos in youtube where men twice smaller do the same weight, with actually better form.

here's one

At their age my grandfather who did manual work  and never trained with weight one day in his life had more muscles than the current version of Francois and Prince right now!

Those were hammer curls, still crazy for such a little man though. Levrone was a small guy himself so him doing 100s is fairly impressive. That other dude in that vid is pretty strong too.

That guy is 230lb and drugged to the eyeballs, the form wasn't better either. But no i don't think its fantastic given the shit that Kevin was running.

Considering the drugs yeah. But him being a little man to begin with limits the amount of weight he can lift regardless of the drugs hes on.

I believe a guy by the same Scott Rechsteiner does legit 120lb dumbbell curls even at almost 50 years old, and used to do even more back when he had monstrous arms. Other than him I can't think of anyone who does or has done more than that.

To be fair to Francois, he did suffer a horrible illness and almost died. But, yeah, he's WAY smaller now, no doubt. Still, when he was "on", he was mega strong. Would do a portion of his training at Westside Barbell, as a matter of fact, squatting and deadlifting with those boys.

Drugs make a colossal difference. If you respond well to them, you're on your way. Take you from a muscular 180 to a muscular 280, no sweat.

Mike responded well.

Mike Francois also had a illness,,dealing with his colon I believe...he is still in the bbing biz, he is a IFBB judge and has a few proteges that are up and comers...he can't do the drug regime and the eating regime or the weight regime that he used to...so he will look different

Nice goggles and nipple rings on this guy. These kinda asswaffles are a dime a dozen. Nothing special. Guy's walking around with his shirt off like he is doing a perpetual FLEX shoot. Absolute jackass giving muscle a bad name.

he's got your typical black guy who's been in prison physique.

big arms, big chest, no back and no legs.

he's done ok @ some state shows but isnt a national level competitor because of his lack of completeness.

I am NOT buying it dude doesnt look dense or strong at all.

You don't have to. The times I've been to LA he was always there. Just fly out there and train at Golds. I believe Tito Raymond was one of his partners at times.

Mike O is bigtime strong, believe it. Guy deadlifts, squats and benches massive weight. At least he did. Don't know if he still does. This isn't a secret, either. Most folks down Venice way will confirm.
