Yates, Ray, Levrone, Milos, Wheeler,Dillet, Nasser, Ruhl etc. Which one would have the easier time making a comeback ?

Is it possible to come back from nowhere?  Bah!

Doom disapproves.

Milos still looks pretty good
I think Levrone could come back as well

Levrone could easily come back if he wanted to.
But I dont think he wants to, especially with his "movie career" taking off like it has  ::)

Matt I really don't think Kevin could make another comeback at this point.  I really think he'd have a hard time doing it again at this point.

i agree. he grows quicker than anyone, and was way better at his peak than cutler is now.

Why?  Because his heart isn't there and he doesn't want it or because he would be physically incapable for some reason?

Ruhl, he's probably still over 300lbs as we speak...
No doubt about it...

Most those guys have been active in the 00's. Of them, Milos, Ray and Levrone could probably all make a solid showing at a smaller show with 12 months prep, as for Olympia contenders, I'd highly doubt it.

If you look at even the 1999 Olympia line up several are still competing, with a few of the others contemplating, the rest are physically unable to produce a 'physique':

Ronnie Coleman
Flex Wheeler
Chris Cormier
Kevin Levrone
Shawn Ray
Nasser El Sonbaty
Paul Dillett
Lee Priest
Dexter Jackson
Milos Sarcev
Mike Matarazo
Ernie Taylor   
Pavol Jablonicky   
Jay Cutler   
Jean Pierre Fux   
Markus Ruhl

id like to see them coming out again

funny to scary:

Ronnie Coleman - could come back, but win nothing
Flex Wheeler - would die trying
Chris Cormier - still around, looking like shit
Kevin Levrone - could manage to step on stage looking like 2003 within 6 month
Shawn Ray - 12 month of preperation and he will be top 5 olympian
Nasser El Sonbaty - nooooooooooo way, unable to win mr belgrad in the handicaped category
Paul Dillett - remember 2006 montreal pro
Lee Priest - a little bit better than cormier
Dexter Jackson ?
Milos Sarcev - no way, synthol is no longer an option
Mike Matarazo - same as flex
Ernie Taylor  - isnt he grave sharing with munzer und roland ?
Pavol Jablonicky  - i dont care
Jay Cutler  - oilbag - should retire
Jean Pierre Fux  - has a better life now
Markus Ruhl  - big as usual, but no chance for higher placings

Lee Priest would be able to do well.
Ronnie will do well again after some much needed healing.
Ruhl could do well if he can sort out his chest. Still huge now!
Milos could also come back - he is in pretty good shape still.
Nasser El Handicapped will never return

Why even bother doing a comeback?  It would be a wrong decision to do it, even when you're really strapped for cash.  One could do it if they have a sponsor who will promote and pay them to do it.  Why else would you not see the "retired" pros compete in the masters?

Joe's never looked like that!  Who's body did they stick his head on?  I remember when Betty used to get her waist photoshop'd to look smaller for pictures and ads; it made her look like a freak.
