Levrone won The Most Muscular Award...I think this was Alq Gurley's last contest...
Or was it?

And has anybody noticed that certain competitors are a quality control meter of sorts. If they compete the field is better, if not it is kinda lax, or there is less concentration on certain things. For instance, if Flex was competing, most competitors would bring their A game to the Arnold...

Kinda funny Kev won the most muscular against a guy who was almost 290lbs lol and this and the Ironman were Alq's last contests placing 10th here and 7th at the Ironman , maybe he was trying to get the acting thing going?

it's way the light plays on his delts---look at them from other angles you see them...if you are implying that he had used synthol---his delts have looked the same since he was a NPC competitor...it was Flex the next yr (2000) that took to another level

if you lookat each pic, you see that there is no "suspicious lumps", rather roundness...

(http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=363750.0;attach=399404;image)

Trace the roundness of it and compare it to the top pic in which he is doing a front lat spread, where he has his arms in a similar position, uet not flexing his delts...

Levrone looks good in the lineup but he doesn't look any more muscular than Jay or Chris or Gunter or Vince, etc... Looks very close between Nasser, Vince and Chris for the overall.

the wizard was 287 pounds and in a very good condition!!.. still not at his best but was good enough to dominate the stage..

kevin was far away from his normal good shape size wise and condition wise!!.. looks small and soft at the same time..

yep, Nasser was soo good that he didn't win the most Muscular award, typically the winner of the show wins that as well, so it tells you something, Nasser maybe 287, but due to not having the muscle in the right areas---and lack of detailing, he is very muh flawed--and not of the caliber of Flex, Dorian, Shawn, Levrone---when they are on and Nasser is on, he loses

Shawn was a smaller dude, who also chastised and criticized the judges, and many times his places were punishment, as one judge (who is now dead, and King Kamali infamously had thanked for his pro card), Shawn Ray, comes in looking the same, and Shawn questioned her and got into with her and other judges. Most people, not just on this board, but in the bbing community would consider Shawn Ray a far more complete bber than Nasser, and should have placed higher than Nasser.

Kevin was a story of small Kev vs big Kev, After Kev won the Arnold 2X, he would just show up to collect a check, and he was small, then he would ramp up for the Mr. O. Kev also had a leg injury...

But, none of those guy ever showed up in the condition that Nasser yrs later at the Arnold---shitty back and abcess...he should have never competed.

Shawn was better in 94 and 96 guess who he beat then Nasser , and Nasser was on in 1996 more so than 1997 and Levrone's best was 92/95 and you know the deal

according to flex magazine (your own bible and main source of your claims) ray was the same in 95 as 94 ;)..

and again and by all means he was still on in 95 even if you are trying to say he was better in other years.. and nasser in 94 was still a 2nd level pro. so it's assholness to compare him then by ray who was the runner up.. it's like saying mr. XXX and YYY beat ronnie coleman in 1992!!!..

also nasser never faced any of the VERY top pros of the 90s at his very best shape which he presented in 1995 at the NOC..

I don't think so , he was more the same in 192/93/94  ;)


the bottom line is Nasser who said his best year was 1996 was beaten by Shawn Ray in 1996

Since when did they base an entire contest on one pose? oh that's right they don't which is why Nasser lost  ;)

Dorian at his worse still soundly beats Nasser , this speaks volumes on how great Dorian was and proves my point about Nasser not being good enough to run with the bog dogs  :D

the bottom line is you have nothing to say after i proved you were wrong to say nasser never beat shawn and levrone when they were on..

conclusion: you lose as always when it comes to logic and let's not forget your funny gems on GB when you said Fux was a mr. olympia material and that nasser's frame was not built to be a mass monster and that dorain was proportioned in 97  :-X :-\ :-X

yates imo had the best back ever and in this shot he clearly owns both ray and nasser by a far distance.. and i respect yates as a great champ but in 97 he didnt deserve to win and if you are saying nasser looked bad in the 2 back poses dorian looked very bad in more than 2 poses!!..

You proved NOTHING as usual Nasser and Shawn were both dead-on in 1996 , no excuses , where did Nasser place at the 1996 Mr Olympia? ummm before he was DQ'ed for diuretics?  ;)

Now you're reduced to lying , I did absolutely say Fux was Mr Olympia material under the right set of circumstances , and I never said Nasser's frame wasn't built to be a mass-monster that's an out right lie you keep perpetuating , I did in fact say he carried his size well and playing mass monster didn't do anything for him because his back went to shit for it among other things

and Dorian was proportioned in 97? show me the context I said this because I've already showed you have poor comprehension skills and make shit up when you get frustrated , back up your empty claims for one  ;)

Shawn was on in 1996 , Nasser was too in fact so much so he claimed he deserved to win the Olympia , I'll ask again where did Dorian , Shawn and Nasser place at this contest?   ;)

but i didnt mentioned 96!!.. i am not talking here about places nasser should have taken i am talking about the places he really took!!.. so in 95, 97, and, 98 he beat ray and you can't say ray was not on in any of these years EVEN IF HE WAS NOT AT HIS VERY BEST!!.. same can be said about levrone in 97 and 98.. so again we were wrong to object on what i said that nasser beat ray and kevin when they were on at many occasions..

Bottom line when the real top guys are on Nasser LOSES when their off , he wins. not his fault but it's a fact and of course you don't want to mention 1996 because your point becomes null & void , both Shawn and Nasser were dead on the money and where did Nasser place?

Kevin's best wasn't 97 or 98 by any stretch more fluff from you

Nasser is NOT as good as you people try and make him out to be , history proves me right.

- dorian was on in 1992..
- doran was on in 1993 and it was his best shape ever..

many times? Kevin wiped the floor with Nasser , wanna revisit that thread? and how many times exactly did Nasser beat Shawn? three times , so much for many times

stop trying to fluff up how many times Nasser beat Shawn & Kevin because it was more often than not that they were beating him

Nasser still got his ass handed to him by Kevin & Shawn more than he beat them , simple math , Nasser wasn't as good as them

 Kevin beat Nasser 24 times , Nasser beat Kevin 10, Shawn beat Nasser 5 times , Nasser beat him 3 times

this irrefutably proves Nasser wasn't as good as either regardless of who was at their best or not , you can't argue with facts kid

Your claim is shit plain & simple , Nasser lost to them more than he beat them , Kevin and Shawn beat him he was on too , you have no point as usual

Nasser was and is an inferior bodybuilder to Kevin , Shawn , Flex , Ronnie , Dorian , shall I continue? Kevin was a part-time bodybuilder who didn't train more than he did , imagine if he when year round? the discrepancy between him and Nasser would have been even greater  ;) Nasser devoted his whole to bodybuilding and routinely got his ass handed  to him by part-time bodybuilders , and guys who weighed 70lbs less than him  ;D nevermind the King Dorian


like Nasser you're a loser  ;)

Oh brother you can't hide your bias and love towards the black even if you tried.  When Nasser fans say he was chastised by judges people cry "how could he have placed well in many shows then?!" yet now you're blatantly claiming that Shawn Ray was chastised by judges lol.  And then your next paragraph goes on to say that Kevin wasn't trying to win but just collect a cheque?  You are always full of excuses whenever a Black competitor does not win or places below someone you don't like such as Nasser.

look the black bodybuilders are better--Kev, Flex, Shawn, etc. Nasser lost to a 224 pound Flex, and flex never came in his best at the O except 93, when he was still off, and had Nasser competed in 1993, he would have lost then. In terms of looks and physique, you ask anybody on the street, Flex, Shawn, Kev would all have had the vote over the googely eyed George Castanza lookalike...

Furthermore your bias towards your man crush is unhidden

Face it, they were, are, and always will be better. And i just don't agree with it.

And Shawn was chastise by the judges, know your shit, it has been written. he had beef with the dead blonde female judge.

And yes, Kev, would come in out of shape for the Arnold, and finish behind Lee Priest---then come back and beast out at the O. Again, know your shit. Even Ronnie questioned Kev's methods...the small Kevin vs the Big Kevin.



Various bbers have their own method when it comes to contests. Flex's was to win big draw shows and to use the Ironman as a gauge for the Arnold.
Shawn's was to place in the top five. Kev's strategy was haphazard...plus he was going thru a lot of issues...

It's no coincidence these guys were all better , these guys just can't accept the fact that Nasser is no where near as great as they hyped him up to be , he simply wasn't in their league facts prove this and when they facts contradict what they say then the facts are suspect , you don't take these people seriously you just laugh at them.

Kevin has the second highest amount of pro wins in IFBB history this is astounding considering he really was a part-time bodybuilder who always crammed for the big exam come contest time , imagine what he could have done if he trained like Dorian 365 days a week? if he kept fastidious records and measured and weighed all his food? he really would have done damage , I remember Shawn Kevin a rockstar playing bodybuilder

Didn't you say before that Shawn was not that great of a bodybuilder since he only won 2 pro shows?

look the black bodybuilders are better--Kev, Flex, Shawn, etc. Nasser lost to a 224 pound Flex, and flex never came in his best at the O except 93, when he was still off, and had Nasser competed in 1993, he would have lost then. In terms of looks and physique, you ask anybody on the street, Flex, Shawn, Kev would all have had the vote over the googely eyed George Castanza lookalike...

Furthermore your bias towards your man crush is unhidden

Face it, they were, are, and always will be better. And i just don't agree with it.

And Shawn was chastise by the judges, know your shit, it has been written. he had beef with the dead blonde female judge.

And yes, Kev, would come in out of shape for the Arnold, and finish behind Lee Priest---then come back and beast out at the O. Again, know your shit. Even Ronnie questioned Kev's methods...the small Kevin vs the Big Kevin.



Various bbers have their own method when it comes to contests. Flex's was to win big draw shows and to use the Ironman as a gauge for the Arnold.
Shawn's was to place in the top five. Kev's strategy was haphazard...plus he was going thru a lot of issues... 

lol ONE judge ddin't like Shawn, Nasser mentioned several judges and IFBB officials that he did not get along with either. 

And you've already shown that you don't consider judging decisions to be the end-all so your example of Nasser losing to Flex is also void, otherwise you are simply picking and choosing when contest results are meaningful and when they are not.  And of course you only pick that they are meaningful when they favour your Black bodybuilders.

Absolutely I said that however , Shawn was consistently better than Nasser  :D and we're talking about hype , Nasser is NO WHERE near as great as you people hype him to be , and neither is Shawn

Great is a term reserved for the best ( and often way over used ) of the best and Nasser & Shawn aren't in that elite list

It's not one judge, Shawn ruffled feathers, he called for the rotation of judges. Shawn was consistent in criticizing judges. He spoke when Nasser didn't...Nasser is a passive-aggresive dude who didn't like confrontation, as it shows now.... Shawn also was against the methods of Chad Nicholls, of which Nasser used the services of.

Again, Nasser was good, but you also push the Great Arab Genetics, which there are very few arab bbers, which I believe is part of your reason for shoving the half Egyptian (with African blood ) down our throats...he was not as good as Flex or Shawn, or Kev, and aesthetically he was not in their league as well, and hell, I would gather most women would like them more than Nasser

Let me give you personal perspective: Back when Nasser had his cover on Flex Magazine, when he was doing his most muscular, I was in Rite Aide, and a guy and a girl and clerk saw the cover--the guy commented on how Nasser looked like a nerd on steriods, the clerk (who was a female) and the girl had commented that he was a nerdy guy who wore glasses from the early 90's and had a bad comb over. i bought the magazine---at another time

When Kev Levrone had his cover, i bought the mag, and the same clerk who commented on Nasser was behind the counter, she talked about how hot Kev was, and how she saw him at Cancun Cantina and how kev was a ladies man...around my way, this rep tends to follow Kev (I am from Kev's area).

If the general public has this perception of of Nasser vs. Kev, it shows that the "beautiful man with glasses" is a Great man only in his mind and yours.

Oh brother you can't hide your bias and love towards the black even if you tried.  When Nasser fans say he was chastised by judges people cry "how could he have placed well in many shows then?!" yet now you're blatantly claiming that Shawn Ray was chastised by judges lol.  And then your next paragraph goes on to say that Kevin wasn't trying to win but just collect a cheque?  You are always full of excuses whenever a Black competitor does not win or places below someone you don't like such as Nasser.

Levrone was one of the most cocky, arrogant and rude BB's of his era

just have a look @ the BFO 2002
dvd where De Milia chastises Kevin for always being late to competitors meetings

btw, Kevin is also an alcoholic- might explain why he had to take long breaks from steroids as his ASt and ALT and GGT were already way up from his alcohol abuse

kevin was also a minimum 5 gram testosterone/week guy (not including anabolics)- this was told to me by an englsih pro who saw Levrone's dr who prescribed for him

You're the one suckling Nasser's teet and you have the balls to type anyone has no life? hahahahahaha

no one is jealous of washed-up Nasser , the guy is a has-bin bitching & complaining about how he was screwed over by the man , a two-faced liar who pretended to be a ' nice guy ' until he can't use anyone anymore

  Well, I have to defend Nasser here. He is certainly not a failure. He is one of the most successful pros ever. Just becoming a pro is a tremendous accomplishment and there are tons of great amateurs who never turn pro( think Edgar Fletcher). And most pros never qualify for the big shows(Olympia, Arnold, NY Pro, CPC, Ironman Pro Invitational or the European Grand Prix shows). Nasser not only turned pro and qualified for the big shows, but he also won the second biggest show in bodybuilding and placed second at the biggest one. Great achievements. Nasser is undoubtedly one of the greats. It's just that, when you compare him to true bodybuilding colossuses like Yates, Ronnie and Arnie he comes a little bit short. But yeah, I agree that he is being petty by dedicating his life to bitching about not winning the O over 13 years ago. And Dorian destroyed him not only as a bodybuilder but also as a Human Being by winning the Olympia in 97'. Poor Nasser didn't recover.

no johnny it was not that way at all.. i only mentioned that nasser beat kevin and shawn at more than one occasion when they were on and this is a fact but ND didn't agree with this.. then when i mentioned the shows i meant and he couldnt argue that shawn and kevin were really on in these shows he started to change the topic and make it comparisons between nasser and these guys in general and who beat who more ::)

dont tell me shawn was not on in 95, 97, and, 98.. the guy was always on and i respect him for that and nasser beat him in these years.. kevin too was on in 97 and 98 and was beaten by nasser so my claim was very true.. and i made this claim when paker mentioned that nasser NEVER beat any of the top guys when they were on!!..

sure nasser was one of the very best pros in his time and we are not trying to put him in a better position.. we just put him in the right place when these ppl try to change the reality to show that nasser was not among the best.. all of us who are in their 30s now know the 90s era very well and know who was nasser in it!!..

imo the only thing guys like ray and kevin have over nasser is that they ended their careers in better ways than nasser but when they were all in their best days sure they were all considered in the same level and not to add that nasser was the crowd favorites and he and dorian were the 2 most popular bbs in the mid 90s with no one close to their popularity.. also after 95 mr. olympia nasser was the only guy that made ppl think he could really beat dorian and be mr. olympia.. ray, kevin, and even flex were never taken seriously when it came to dethroning yates!!..

I didn't change the topic I broadened it to show you the big picture and where Nasser fit in compared against two guys that were routinely better bodybuilders. I gave you a prime example 1996 Mr Olympia Nasser was on and so was Shawn Ray where did Nasser finish? behind Shawn because he wasn't good enough to beat a 205lb bodybuilder , same with Nasser and Kevin in 1995 who beat who when both were on? Kevin as usual.

If Kevin and Shawn were on and so was Nasser he was going to lose , period. why? he's not in their league period. the best of the 90s was Dorian bar none he was the top of the heap , then Flex. Flex if he was on ( and even if he wasn't ) could beat anyone , then Kevin and Shawn and then further down the rung is Nasser , this is a fact of life. You people always try and rewrite history and act like Nasser was something more than he was which was a B tier pro who even when he was at his best still would get beat by better guys.

As long as you guys keep trying to fluff up Nasser's accomplishments I'll keep beating you over the head with facts.

Nasser isn't in their league and ironic that the NOC and AC wasn't against Flex or Shawn , although the AC was and he barely beat a way off Levrone who still managed to walk away with the most muscular title against a 287 pound Nasser , what's that tell you?

So that's all Shawn and Kevin had on Nasser? they ended their careers on a high note? ::) how about the fact that they both routinely beat him?  or they both had better physiques? the one thing Nasser had on both of them was popularity and that's it he appealed to the base fan with lots of size and the act that was a ' nice guy '

and who was thinking after the 1995 Mr Olympia Nasser would be able to beat Dorian? LMFAO this is where you really start to believe your own B.S. if anything after that contest people realized NO ONE could beat him especially after that contest. people were excited someone could compete with Dorian on size and Nasser feel for it and tried to compete bigger & bigger and guess where it landed him? no where. Anyone with a clear head could see Nasser couldn't compare to Dorian , he was lucky to beat Shawn & Kevin nevermind Dorian.

There was only one legitimate threat to Dorian Yates and that was Flex Wheeler , Dorian always said he is the one guy that could give him ' trouble ' as we all know how that turned out. It's the constant need to make Nasser out to be more that what he was that makes me laugh , hey you're from Egypt he's half Egyptian both interested in an obscure sport it's only natural for you want him to be right there but in reality he wasn't , no matter how much hemming and hawing Team Nasser does it doesn't change the fact that he wasn't in Dorian's league which was the A tier or as much as in Kevin's or Flex which was B tier he was relegated to the 3rd tier but hey he did pretty good for himself with all things considered but lets not try and rewrite history.  ;)

Not too surprising that Team gasser continues to get brutally owned whenever they try to "fluff" their mancrush on getbig. 
I guess facts and logic continue to elude them when they have their delusional noses stuck up Nasser's  asscrack.

The delusional man with glasses needs to get a new PR team because the current team can't even muster up a decent defense. 

Whatever happened to that Levrone vs Nasser thread? The poor fools got torn apart in that exchange and left to whimper in the darkness. Based on the direction of this thread is headed -  history is about to repeat itself.  :D

Fact is, Nasser is not as good as Flex and company, who yes, happen to be black. They have better symmetry, shape, and look better to the general public...
The only people who deny this are the ones that want their one Arab mancrush to be in that rarified realm.
Funny how none of these men mention Sammir Bannout or Mohammed M. in their arguments about Arab or middle eastern bbers.
