Title: Kevin Levrone... come back... could he? & should he?
Post by: kilojoule on April 01, 2007, 06:05:43 AM
Kevin has mentioned this years Olympia [and competing in it] more than once on a previous thread..

Maybe it's mearly a concidence that this is co insiding with his movie debout!!  The question is , could he make a successful return.. ??? 
                                        ..and of course why would he want to....??

Kevin could get Sandow in 2002. But he was beaten by ronnie because of his tiny legs.
Stupid...If he brought lower body same level as upper body,he could...

He used to have pretty wicked wheels with over 700 pound squats.

i remember seeing him at a show, and the thing that amazed me most was his tricep.

talk about muscle bellies...it just jutted out so far and was so pointy, never seen a tricep like that before.

Absolutely not. His current gig probably pays more.

I guess when it came down to it Ronnie wanted it a heck of a lot more then Levrone. Kevin could have been a great mr. Olympia but didn't get everything together like he should have.

In the Battle for the Olympia 2000, I thought the exact same thing.  Take two 5'9 bodybuilders - Kevin and Jay, and you will see just how genetically superior Kevin is from a structural point of view.  Kevin also had no problems packing on mass and getting in top condition.  He was one of the best bodybuilders ever in my opinion.

Now that Ronnie = toast, Kevin could come back in top shape and take it all. He has beaten Cutler several times, and he is a better spokesperson for BB than Cutler.

Why he would want to? I don't know.
maybe cause his "actor" carreer is a joke and that he misled himself pursuing someting he doesnt have the skills for?

maybe he s just smart enough to inject needles in his ass, eat and lift weights?

and like most guys who quit bbing and come back, he will only be the shadow of his former self and will be laughed at by most people?

I think If he wanted to he could come back better than ever after the layoff his receptors will be totally open.  Don't think
he will though - and his acting career is not really a joke - he has a movie that will be in the theaters coming out right now.

Only if he has fixed his lower back issues.  It was sad to see him in his last few outings, that great upper body was still there, but his legs lagged so far behind.  A complete Levrone can beat anyone.

a m a z i n g,,should never come back,,i put his upper body top 3 in bodybuilding history after arnold and ron and as good as sergio and haney just little more good :)

how no sandow? he matured into the mass monsters and beasts years  of dorian and ron,,and he was inbetween a mass monster and perfection,,meaning he gave the illusion of mass monster at a lower weight with the closest thing to perfect balanced physiqe possible for that weight 240-250lb,,ifbb went twards mass mosnters and beasts as in 10-30lb heavier thus he stayed empty ended

also kevin is 5'10,,maybe 5'9 and 4/5 of an inch,,make it 5'10 ;)

People who run these shows should WISE-UP.  Pay Kev behind the scenes 200,000 in cash to compete!  If he did, he would prob raise revenue 500,000 for the show and the sport of BB.

Be a great biz decision.

Yeah, he looked closer to 5'10 than to 5'9 when I saw him at the Arnold...why would he lie about his height?  ???  I suppose 5'9 and 250 sounds more impressive than 5'10 and 250.  Now as an actor, he lies about his height by saying he is taller than he is.

Kevin was the same height as the 5'10 Sonny Schmidt in the 1993 English Grand Prix DVD.

Please.  Kevin isn't half the bodybuilder that Mike Arvilla is.  If Mike juiced up, he would be twice Leverone's size.  And, although Kevin has done movies and is one of the most decorated bodybuilders of all time, Arvilla is still a bigger legend.

I have it on good word that Arvilla gets $50 per used posing trunk plus an extra $25 if it has skid marks.  Leverone only gets $40 :-\

There's probably more money in that than in winning the Mr. Olympia.  ;D

Why is it too late for Kev to come back though?  ???  Check out Sonny Schmidt at 47, and over a year after his final competition:

All joking aside, I would LOVE to see Kevin come back and mop the floor with today's crop of crap physiques.  Can you believe Jay is Mr. Olympia!???  WTF!????  If Kevin could match his best ever condition, he would be able to do just that.  But, his legs have never been the same as the earlier part of his career, and he just doesn't have the drive.  It ain't going to happen...

Also, after the hernia I don't know if Kev ever fully recovered.

Still though, he would be a guaranteed top 3-6.  Not bad for a 42 year old youngster who looks 28.

I would not want to see him come back just to place in the top 5.  It would be great to see him destroy Cutler.

If Kevin whoops his own ass into shape, he can win.

He's got the looks, the career, he = a better spokesperson than Cutler, AND he can beat Cutler if he shows up like he did in 2002.
