Based on his reaction to Gunter beating Ronnie in 2002 i’d say.... probably
It looks like he ran and then dove...

At the time he did. That's why he considered Gunther's win a proxy win for him

" Coming off the 2001 Mr. Olympia, where I placed third despite being in excellent condition once again, I'm more convinced than ever that Ronnie Coleman should no longer bear the title of Mr. Olympia. This is the second consecutive Mr. O gift for Ronnie, and I'm not prepared to hang back in the weeds and let an injustice go without fair comment.
The plain truth is that I beat Ronnie last year [2000] and Jay Cutler beat Ronnie this year. You should not win the Mr. Olympia if your stomach is hanging out -- period. Last year, I patted Ronnie's stomach during the posedown to draw attention to the fact that he was bloated. That tactic obviously didn't work, and Ronnie beat me in the posedown to successfully defend his title for a third straight Mr. O triumph.
So now the show rolls around and Jay Cutler beats Ronnie in both prejudging rounds: symmetry and muscularity. Ronnie was spilling over with too much water during the muscularity round, and Cutler took it to him in many of the poses that Coleman usually dominates.
How can Cutler lose this contest if he wins in both symmetry and muscularity? How can Ronnie retain his title if his midsection is bloated and distended? Why should the fans get behind a champion who can't present an aesthetic image of what bodybuilding is supposed to be all about?
I'm talking about classical proportions, perfect symmetry and ideal conditioning. Based on that ideal, I should have won the Sandow in 2000, and Cutler should have taken it in 2001 "

ND I forgot that Jay won both the symmetry and muscularity rounds. And he still lost.
Then the IFFB tried to steal Jay’s contest winnings by claiming that he failed the diuretic test. Jay threatened to take the IFBB to court, and suddenly they changed their mind’s. The IFBB Jay let keep his money.
Jay was working with ISS at the time. They probably didn’t sponsor any NPC or IFBB contests.... and Jay suffered the consequences.

The meat & potatoes of contests back then was the prejudging. 99 times out of a 100 you won that you won the show. The evening show was for the fans. Jay handedly beat Ronnie in the prejudging and somehow lost the whole show. That was bullshit and Ronnie should've lost. He did improve during the night show but in essence the damage was done but in the end Ronnie won and in the end Jay got his revenge in 2006.
I bet Jay kicked himself in the ass after seeing what Ronnie looked like at 2002 Olympia which he didn't compete in protest. If he would've replicated his 01 Olympia condition in 02 he would've really beat Ronnie 2002 who was way off from 2001

You live with your mom. Please shut your mouth.

Did Levrone possibly hold some resentment towards RBG?

Where'd you hear that? I wouldn't mind doing that, in her old age especially, that's something that some other cultures get right, keep family close, but I don't 8)
Everyone has a right to have their own special little interests and obsessions, I certainly do. I think some other forums get it very wrong in saying that there are no BB fans here :D
-
Levrone put up a picture today on FB that his goal is about health and longevity and he looking sized down but lean. Smart at 61, I think he said, to go this route.

Wasn’t Levine spoiled?

That’s “dick on dick”

Well, Ronnie is literally on his death bed , levrone, Ray and cutler seem relatively healthy

Great post
At the time both Kevin and Flex Wheeler were so sure they will win the O after Yates retired, they lived in denial the next 4 years or so.... they felt offended"
After 8 sandows and many years later they act NOW like they always respected Ronnie .
Woooossshhhhhhhhhhhhhh Levroneeeeeeeeeeeee
-
Levrone resents himself for giving Coleman that vodka and coffee!!
-
I don’t think they really beefed it. I do remember them hanging out and I think it was LeBron that gave him vodka the night before and he came and shredded. That was the secret.

These are silly children's stories, told by a sad (or happy?) alcoholic :D

that's the front shots where Jay had Ronnie edged out for sure.
From the back Ronnie killed Jay. Probably what gave him the edge.

Kevin Levrone ( as much as i like Big ron ) knew how to train better..
How so?

How so?
made because hes not a cripple...

How so?
He is still healthy and didn't cripple himself.

When Lee Haney retired, Ferrigno made the biggest comeback to the Olympia stage, Levrone made his debut and took second to Dorian (Ronnie was dead last that year) , from then on it seemed it was a matter of time Levrone was next in line , years later when Dorian finally retired, came Ronnie out of nowhere (placing 9th the previous year) and ended up winning it more than yates lol and forced Levrone to retire ....
Long after Ronnie walked away , in 2016 Kevin made the second biggest comeback to the O stage known as Battle of the Eras to dethrone Phil Heath!... he sadly took last place.
Then he took 2 years off to train full time ballz to the wallz and took 14th .... at Arnold Europe
Today, 2025 Levrone (in his 60s)is trying to get back in shape one more time but when he's flexing, staring into the camera. he now has that look of a lost elderly man.
Ronnie truncated his destiny.
WoooooSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Resentments FACTS

Always liked Levrone's look more than Ronnie's. Coleman's abs were weird looking and his muscles just looked huge and thrown together like a bodybuilding Frankenstein.
