Where would Levrone with body like in 2000, 2001 or 2002 place at this years Olympia?
I say 3rd. But after hard fight with wolf and Rhoden.

4th- 5th
-
in the perfect world, he should be able to beat Kai Greene
-
Really, today, he'd be 9th. Too small.
-
battle is ON. Levrone vs Rhoden BDB.

Its close but Levrone would probably beat Shawn from the back.
-
No back right down there with Ramy 10th.
-
Really, today, he'd be 9th. Too small.
Perhaps 00-02, but not 94-98. His best would easily take second in this line-up. Kai was too fat, Wolf structurally flawed and Rhoden just lacks that "pop" Kevin had.
-
Levonre is drunk with shizzo everyday.
-
:D ;D
-
I predict between 5th and 7th
-
1st
E
-
he placed 3rd weeks after tearing his tricep to a prime cutler and dexter in his very last show while being way based his own prime
the only one that wouldn't look silly standing next to him is heath, the others are too flawed
E
-
He's coming back for the title
Stay tuned.....
-
2nd. Phil Heath is better. The only bodybuilders that could ever take Heath are Coleman, Dorian and Wheeler, all at their best.
-
Levrone from the 97 Euro tour would do major damage. Likely 2nd behind Heath.
-
I used to have pics of me (and my then wife, busty 5ft asian girl with quads/calves) with Kevin when he stripped down in the expo after prejudging in I THINK 02... I barely recognized him and was amazed my then 230 dwarfed his "supposed 230".. granted, he was a 1/3 of my bf, but even my wife in the pics, he looked small. looked like I could hug him and engulf him. lol (no homo.. fuckers)... great arms/delts and great shape, but just the overall size wasn't there to hang with kai or wolfe.... was surprised how he looked against Ronnie that year in pics (didn't attend the show that year, just the expo).

I remember pics from the expo .. he was the king of illusion. He was indeed 210 by my calculations but so ripped and proportioned that he looked pumped up much bigger onstage.

Are u sure he was 210??
The man is in the 5'9/5'10 range and I remember talking to him in 2002 and he said he weighed in the 240's
-
00/02 versions of Levrone are way overrated. Judged on half a body, zero legs, poor back deifnition. Levrone 92 or 95 would easily place second and even might take it all.
-

you need to understand odybuilding better .. in that pic he is very far from 240
-
Pretty much like Flex, Kevin was at his best at the beginning of his career. He could handle the extra mass better than Flex but still he suffered from a lack of detail specially in back poses at a higher weight. His back was actually really good in 92.
-
2nd. Phil Heath is better. The only bodybuilders that could ever take Heath are Coleman, Dorian and Wheeler, all at their best.
Are you saying Phil is one of the all time greats?
Btw add Cutler to your list because he already beat him
-

Not from me he said it himself he was around the 240's
I highly doubt he was 210 though? That's light for someone close to 5'10 range
Shawn was 210 at his best at 5'7
-
Not from me he said it himself he was around the 240's
Bbers never lie, that's a well known fact, isn't it?
-
Bbers never lie, that's a well known fact, isn't it?
Not arguing that but I'm just quoting what he said....
Do u think he looked 210 though??
-
But hey if he was 210 then that makes him one of the strongest bbers to ever live pressing 500 for reps at 1 to 2 wks out at 3-4 percent bf levels :D
-
Well, I think in 92, he must have weighed around 220/225 on stage. I don't think he was higher that that frankly. Remember then, he had legs. I'd say he was still balanced and bigger around 95 to 97. Then his legs really shrunk. Considering the weight a Bber usually carries on his legs, and Kevin had an extremely poor lower body both in 2000 and 2002, 240 would mean a humongous upper body. I'd say he was probably less 230, more like 220 even. His balance changed in ten years but I think he was lighter at the end of his career then in the middle.
-

Agree, Levrone would be 4th place in this years Olympia in his 2000-2002 size and condition!
-
As much as it would be interesting to see him come back - right now, the guy makes 4th place in the 2013 olympia in people's minds - without even competing.
If he comes back and looks like shit - well.. was it worth it?

92 he was shredded but smaller than 91jrnat/nationals ,he guest posed at 260 92 in jersey before mro,his legs were huge and he was smooth/full faced.yates posed 2 he was enormous.ken 93 and up to 97/98 was much larger,and as stated legs were either huge/ripped or smaller athletic lean with bigger upperbody.92 mro his legs were diced and had deep separation.
-
in 2000 he beat shawn ray, flex wheeler, and nasser all near their best while having smaller legs and many believe he should've beat ronnie
in 2001 he beat shawn (who looked the same since he "should've won" in 94) and a prime chris cormier while being way smaller than his prime 90's years
in 2002 he beat cormier and a prime dexter and gunther, while having even smaller legs and beat ronnie in the posing rounds
so now today he can't beat these guys? i guess you guys bought into the hype of this past olympia being the "best ever"
is bodybuilding better today than it was in the early 2000's? it must be if a guy who was top 3 in the early 2000's can't do better than 4th in this contest
i say the early 2000's verson of Mr. Levrone should place 2nd, obviously i prefer him way over heath but phil would be a little more complete than his early 2000's physiques, the rest had more flaws

the only one today that wouldn't look out of place with those guys is phil
rhoden has potential but kai to me is a guy with a bunch of large impressive looking muscles that come together to form an ugly mess

yea, exactly what i'm talking about... even next to that guy, who looks like he doesn't even train.. (hope that's not you). 210/215 is exactly what I thought he weighed.
now, guys like Dillett dwarfed me... Melvin Anthony's arms dwarfed mine, as did his lats, even though is frame is smaller.... as did an always water-logged Tom Prince.
-
this is why they need to have weigh ins at all pro-shows,just so we would know the truth.
-
SHAVED HEAD YRS HE WAS HUGE 240 PLUS ON STAGE BUT HIS WAIST WAS BIGGER AS WELL,HE LOOKED LIKE HE RAN THE GAMUT ON STUFF USED.

97.. the best he ever looked on the Grand Prix tour.

lol this thread is hilarious, first we have guys saying Mr. Levrone would place at the bottom of the top 10 in the recent sorry olympia lineup, now this joe nobody is "matching up" with the MARYLAND MUSCLE MACHINE, it just goes to show how picture angles can make you look bigger or smaller
that guy is getting LevrOWNED and FulblOWNED and appears to be enjoying every second of it, that doesn't happen when you are standing next to a man of comparison to yourself

Earl checking in late in the thread due to extensive clean up after drowsing the laptop with lots of love for Mr Levrone

Levrone from the early 00s would take 3rd or 4th in the 2013 O.
Levrone from mid 90s with 100% legs could win the show, but definitely 2nd.
-
2nd. Phil Heath is better. The only bodybuilders that could ever take Heath are Coleman, Dorian and Wheeler, all at their best.
Cormier Shawn levrone Nasser dillet
Phil has no chest but I guess everyone is blind to that because his arms are big....
I really can never see why people are Heath crazy his physique to me is out of whack
Wide waists for a smaller guy abs ... And chest weak..
How does he beat someone like Cormier or Shawn who had no weak point
Damn why can no one really look as see past the arms
Would never be a mr o in that era of the 90's 2000's

Looking like 210/215 and being that weight are two different things ;)
I say he was prob around the 230's... Nothing more nothing less. In the mid 90's def 240's to low 250's... He weighed himself a couple of wks out of the O in 96 and he weighed 255.
In 2002 he said he started his prep at 205/210...
Again this is what kev said...
-
i am guaranteeing right now nobody here will be asking 10 years from now "where does 2013 kai green place in the 2023 olympia"
Mr. Levrone's physique is timeless and will never be forgotten by any of us
10th place in today's o? fuck all of you

no one really look as see past the arms
That sounds like you .
Are you blind ?

As good as kev was (u talking in the early 90's to late 90's) today he wouldn't be able to beat Phil
He should make his "comeback" since he's "only" 49 and watch him embarrass himself
In his last 03 O he looked awful

Awful enough to place what 6th?? That's not up to Levrone standard

Not up to his standards but awful? I don't think so.
-
Yeah but if he brought what he brought to 2003 and that's being generous since its 10 years ago what do u think would happen??

That sounds like you .

iPhone predictive text
Still not impressed narrow
Phil doent even have the best back on stage and he is mr o
Chest wack narrow just two big arms attached on a middleweight torso
Wack mr o not an all time great physique IMO

well, cormier wasn't "huge" but his bodyweight (legit, in person or on camera) was ALWAYS surprising. standing side by side with cormier saying he was 260, you thought, "oh, that's what 260 looks like" and flex's "260" always looked like 290.... standing by Kev in that expo he didn't seem to me at anything over 215... granted, his bf was lower than mine, but i'm no fat-ass and was probably at 10%/12% tops, and my "230" and his "230" didn't quite match, to say the least (even standing next to a 5ft tall 135lb Asian girl).
he reminded me of the first time I met johnnie Jackson, I was surprised at how small he seemed (he's since put on like 70lbs)....but back then, he'd just turned pro and hadn't done a show yet and I think he was about 225.

USUALLY you get a roll of the 'eyes'comment,but you explained it well here and believable.
-
in comparison, I've known, been next to, been in the same car as, ect... other bodybuilders (npc guys, bottom teir pro's, guys who just did the bbing marketing/modeling-thing and never competed... won't name names) who are the same height as levrone, some with much thicker legs, but with upper bodies that weren't as "complete" as levrones (if that makes sense) who by looking at them, you'd think 'you gotta be 230', and you get a 'thanks dude, but nah, i'm like 205/210 tops today'... kev back then was no larger than those guys. (overall larger, but none had arms/delts like his, of course... but arms don't add 20lbs of bodyweight)
-
It's weird because for instance in 96 AC it was really apparent that Levrone outmassed everyone except from Dillet. Gym videos and pictures also show a fucking beast. In 2002 he seemed to be bigger than most of the stack.
