Well JoJ wins this battle but the BB with more succes down the road is def, David Henry thanks to the 202 class!

JOJ takes this IMO. Both are somewhat top heavy and JOJ's upper body is much larger and thicker than Henry's. I have trained next to JOJ for a few years and Henry as well now in my current gym. I can tell you that JOJ is bigger, thicker and more impressive overall. Not to mention he is a nicer guy, but that is not being compared obviously.

look at joj's chest in that side tri... HUGE!

JOJ the guy is a beast and super strong

Honestly, it's tough to tell. But JOJ takes this one

From the front Dave has better quads, arms and lats. JoJ has better chest and abs.

From the side JoJ has it won.

From the back Dave has better definition but less mass. He has high lats and thick erectors aren't the ideal package.

Not a big fan of JoJ's physique, especially after the gay centerfold thing. But he does have a better physique here.

JOJ looks like killed the Hulk, cut off his traps, painted them brown, and then had them surgically attached.

i don't see how you guys are picking jackson here. his conditioning is far inferior and his legs are not at all up to par with the rest of him. slightly better back on jackson, but henry is no slouch there and is far drier. and you guys are only looking at the chest in those side shots, look at the arms, henry has him beat. not to mention henry has to be one of the most aesthitic physiques in the sport today.

henry wins

 

[Samoan-Z]

I gotta go with David Henry he is more gritter and has a more solid muscle base.

 

[lifterdead]

Hmm... this is tough. Dave looks a bit more balanced and better conditioned, but JOJ wins in the mass department hands down.

JOJ wins this easily. That's about as good as David Henry is gonna get, but he's too small in comparison. JOJ has about three times the thickness in the back as Henry.

i respectfully disagree here. jackson's back is better yes i probably shouldn't have said slightly better because it is ridiculously thick. but henry's aesthetics, shape, and overal more proportional physique, not to mention much better conditioning gives him the win. henry is not at all too small in comparison. by that logic lee priest shouldn't be able to beat bigger (and by bigger, i mean taller) guys because he's short and that's the only "size" difference here.

JOJ.

Johnnie could have David any day of the week...but Johnnie cant peak properly and always come in flat and needs some serious leg size. Henry is the giant killer and for good reason. Muscles bellies are full, and comes in tight. Sorry Johnnie Henrys got you

Jonnie takes this one. He has unbelievable thickness on his back, pecs and traps.
