Kevin is the man but I still say no. The guy was close but not as close as Shawn or Flex. Everytime he got second champ was little better.

Hehe.. well lets check every year that Kevin competed at the Olympia.

1992 - got second. Classic lines, symmetry but loses to bigger Dorian.
1993 - injured earlier that year and IFBB made him compete at the olympia. With only 3 months of training he still got fifth. Not bad
1994 - almost 20 pounds bigger than year before. Huge guns and overall frame but I think Shawn got him that year. You could make a case him beating Dorian..
1995 - Almost the same package as 94 but more polished. He looked great but unfortunately Dorian was the top of his game. Not even close. Second time, second place.
1996 - Got fourth but later when Nasser got disqualified raised to the third place. In my opinion Doz and Shawn were better but you could make point..
1997 - now we're talking. Kevin was thick as hell but got again fourth place. In certain areas he beats Yates but so do everyone else. He got what he deserved.
1998 - Again, thick package with great definition but no match for the Ronnie, Flex or Nasser. Fouth place
1999 - same style as 2 years before. Big, thick but all the guys in top-3 were in superb shape. No chances there.
2000 - Kevin was fired up and he had the mentality to win the show. Unfortunately Ronnie's back was too much for him. Looked great from the front, awesome from the side - but still Ronnie takes it.
2001 - Hernia surgery earlier - his legs were small but upper body looked awesome. Third place
2002 - Again, he is on the money. Great package, back was much better than 2000. He took the posing and the posedown rounds but Ronnie won with 9 points. IMO Kevin's closest year - he sure looked great
2003 - injured his tricep earlier. He was way off but still got sixth.

Good analysis.

Nothing i saw from Levrone or Ray would place ahead of an in-shape Wheeler.

Thanks and it's true. When Flex was on no one else than the Mr. Olympia could have touched him. He was extremely unlucky because everytime he got second the winner was in superb shape.

Hehe - I've been reading getbig quite some time but I rarely write anything and when my native languange isn't english it sets the bar little higher. I don't want to be like our curry eating friend from India, Shadow. ;)
