i agree with 02 but not 2000, IMO Levrone is the uncrowned 2002 Mr. Olympia, Ronnie looked terrible in 02.

Levrone had no legs in 2002.

and yet he still destroyed Ronnie, that shows you how pathetic Ronnie looked at the 02 Olympia especially at the night show.

The IFBB Pro website put up a story showing all the Pros who have taken 2nd place (some several times) and have never won the Olympia.  Which of these guys should have earned a Sandow?

I think Robbie Robertson, Rich Gaspari and Kevin Levrone all should have won it at least once, if not for poor IFBB judging.

Kevin should have won.  Victor should too.
Everything is BIGGER in Texas!!!

You guys have to be kidding Coleman and Cormier both destroyed Levrone despite Levrones gift placing, hell even Dex and Gunter should have beat him ::)

Kevin was exactly shredded either and with no legs and a weak back I don't see how he should have won let alone place 2nd.

If anything he should have won in 81 also, but I can somewhat understand Franco winning I mean he dominated with upperbody and lots of guys (mostly those not named Tom Platz) had weak legs.

his back actually looked pretty good, pics lie

triple H, mike matarrazzo, and joe amato did the commentary for the ppv

all 3 couldn't stop praising Mr. Levrone, they said he was definitly ronnie's main challenge that night

i don't remember them saying too much about dexter and chris

yeah a guy like you who has only been a fan for a handful of years, never seen a show, and only uses pics for his argument would know much more ::)

as for those guys, they weren't hired to give commentary because they didn't know what they were talking about ;)

like i said YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE that thinks chris was better

All I am saying is that was their opinion and I along with others have a separate opinion. I mean I know there are more Levrone fans out there but if we set up a poll I wonder who most think should have placed 2nd. I guarantee I won't be the only guy who thinks Cormier should have had the 2nd spot.

WTF I am too lazy but I guess I will. I am not saying I am going to win but I think you should be surprised at how many think Cormier was better.

I have the VHS, pictures don't tell the whole story.
Kevin beat Chris decisively because he was shredded and Cormier was soft
