Branch is the most overrated bodybuilder since Kamali. The dude is thick and nasty, but as many have accurately pointed out, he has weak muscle separation in his upper body, relatively narrow frame, below average arms and back, and a somewhat ugly physique. I'm no fan of Badell, but Badell's frame, separation, and symmetry blows Branch away.
If you're a hardcore guy, you like the crazy legs and calves and that redneck look Branch has.
But if you're gay, softcore, or retarded like me, you prefer Melvin Anthony's physique. If only Melvin could stay away from those brownies and ice cream, he'd move up a couple spots.
