Kevin is in a whole other league compared to Nasser , he won his first pro contest as soon as he turned pro , Nasser took 5 years to win his first show. Kevin place second in his first Olympia showing , Nasser's first O he placed 7th and it took him 7 years to place second in an Olympia .
Not only is Kevin a much more competitive and dominating bodybuilder throughout his career but when directly faced to Nasser he beat him much more than Nasser ever beat him in fact well over double 25 vs 10
Kevin is leaps & bounds better than Nasser like I said before it's not even open for discussion who is considered the greater bodybuilder between the two
*Yawn* ND still trying to suggest that the question of who is a better bodybuilder can simply be answered by quantitative factors alone, while ignoring the major qualitative factor that Levrone only beat Nasser when he was not at his best. Your "stats" focus on years when Nasser was still growing (his first five years as a pro) as well as his last few years where he was not even competing seriously anymore.
Using your purely statisitcal method Levrone probably has more wins against Ronnie Coleman than vice versa, so obviously stats alone do not answer the question.
Ronnie Coleman can continue competing until he's 50 or 60 and as his placings drop, would that make him a poorer bodybuilder than if he just chooses to retire now? Of course not.
Similarly, the fact that Nasser continued to compete for several years past his prime does not make him a worse bodybuilder than if he retired after 99 or 2000, yet ND's "statistics" incorrectly suggest this does make him a worse bodybuider.
During his best Nasser got top 3 in 29 of 31 consecutive shows over 4 years (with only two 4th places). He also beat Levrone 11 tinmes during this period (including the 96 Olympia). There's a reason why at the 98 O Flex mag believed it to be a competition between Nasser and Wheeler (Levrone and Ray weren't even considered top contednders).
