Post by: jtsunami on March 05, 2008, 11:17:59 PM
Could Levrone ever compare to the Dexter Jackson we saw at the Arnold classic any opinions on this, Dexter was almost flawless.

Levrone could never hang with Dexter.  Dexter is a "cut" above.

Levrove owns Dexter by virtue of size and completeness (Dex has NO claves). Also, Dex's height would be a big disadvantage against Kevin. Dexter is drier but not enough to overcome his shortcomings against Kev.

Are you blind? Kev is killing Dex there. Dex's chest looks like a pancake in comparison. Oh yeah, Kevin was also robbed of the O that year. What place did Dexter get?  ;)

exactly, considering how much smaller dex is then Kevin weight wise, he looks just as big and has better separation in the quads.

I would have to go with Levrone - Dexter can get more cut for sure but Kevin blows him away on overall size, shape, height and stage presence.

Has anyone got the stats of when they've competed against each other? Who has won more? I would have to hazard a guess at Levrone.

Thats a pic from 2002 Olympia where Kevin did it half hearted. It was probably his worst olympia condition ever. Levrone at his peak would destroy dexter in my opinion

Kevin looked amazing in 92. Dex could never touch that. I personally liked Kevin the best at the 95O.

I disagree.  Pancakes are not even this flat:

(http://getbig.com/pics/olympia/2002/mensfinals/jackson01.jpg)

I would give it to Kevin.  Dexter is really good though and it would be close, but conditioning is really the only area where Dexter clearly beats Kevin.  Not in all contests, but on the average.

Also, for stats to compare contest histories, see www.musclememory.com.

I think Dex is a great pro, probably the best all around guy out there and I thought he shoudl have won the O last year, he was harder and IMO better than both Jay and Vic.  That being said a "prime time" Levrone meaning 1992-1997 would crush Dex, the Kevin that's shown in the above pics is no where near what Kev used to bring to the table.

Wow where did those quads go???!!!

This is Little Kev that showed up.  You never knew which Kevin would show up. Back in the Late 90's to 2002, he would show up at the Arnold and be beaten by Lee Priest. Kev would have no quads and no calves, but would show up sometimes at the O blown-up with detail all over the place. His Mx3 video, it shows the different Kev's.

On that note, I think Dex's owns Kev on conditioning and  being consistent.

Kevin at his best? Yes.
His 2001-2003 version? Hell no. If he makes a comeback I don't expect him to be any better.

Levorne would clean Dexter off the stage big time or any other pro today.If Dex was comepting back in the Golden era when the likes of Levorne,Yates,lambera,Nasser etc Dex would get cleaned up on stage.

kevin in his prime would win, but i dont think it would be as one sided as everyone thinks.... kevin would win but dex would win on a coulple of poses.....
but at the end of the day the trophy would be going home with big kev....
but Dex has won 3 ASC so he can't be that bad...

Lets put it this way, Shawn and Kev competed with each other throughout the 90's and both were considered two of the best.

IMO, Shawn was much better then Dex and if I can recall Dex never beat Shawn when he competed.

And when Shawn and Kev competed Kev beat Shawn in most of the olympias except 94 and 96 I believe.

So there's your answer, Dex is not even in Kev's league when Kev was on top, not even Shawn Ray, and he's much better then Dex.
