Seen mr levrone lots of time he is 5'9 or could be 5'10 not as short as you would think. Also seen a lot of the bbers over the years and kuclo almost every time

Kuclo - 6 ft
Cormier - 5'10
Yates - 5'11
Ronnie - 5'10
Titus - 5'9
Wheeler - 5'10
Ray - 5'7
Cutler - 5'8

Tito raymond - 5'7
Evan - 5'11
Quincy - 6'3/6'4

i stand behind saying kevin is shorter than 5'9". same goes for cormier. i'd put him at 5'9", maybe. not 5'10". markus ruhl is 5'10" and my eye's were 2" above his. Dillet is 6 1 1/2, maybe 6 2.

I used to see Cormier almost everyday when I lived in socal he and wheeler were about the same 5'10, maybe u might not be as tall as u think

Take a look at stage pics of levrone, Cormier, Ronnie, wheeler ALL relatively the same ht. Ray is clearer shorter than kev by 2 to 3 inches...

Again height and bbers in thongs is serious business

i'm 6' now... was 6'1" maybe 6'1.5" back when I'd see these guys in person semi-regularly. I don't recall ever seeing ronnie in person when he wasn't sitting down. I was surprised at how short kev and cormier were... ruhl too, and how small/narrow/compact johnnie jackson was, and was always surprised at how tall wheeler and lee priest were, or how wide tom prince was.

the other guys were about what i expected (dillett, cutler, mike morris,  kamali, titus, milos, nasser, melvin, derik, ect..... ), height wise.

That was Kevin's second Arnold Classic... compare him to Branch who is a 2x winner himself, night and day!

Flex got robbed here.

Also any of the top 10 at the 1996 Arnold would walk this years Arnold but in modern judging terms would get passed over anyway.
