Remember when Kamali wrote his "open letter" to Shawn Ray, he kept repeating "you're bald" over and over....Man, I hope he is pounding propecia because with his I-ranian genetics he will be joining that club pretty soon.

Don't see too many hairy arabs with full heads of hair, and he, unlike shawn will look like utter shit bald.

You might be right, except that Iranians are not Arabs.

As for Levrone, I thought he could've won the title in 2000 and maybe 2002.

I'm pretty sure he's Persian. Even so, why does he call himself the Persian Pearl? Sounds pretty damn gay

Someone said straight after the 2001 O that the real winner was Dennis James who was back in 7:th, if the rules were strictly used. Dont remember the details he based that on tho.

Yeah Royalty, shut the f**k up. Who the hell are you, the morality police? If Big Kev wants to get tanked off some rail whiskey and run a muck at the NPCs than good for him. Binge drinking is cool, unlike judging people like you just did. Let the man relax with his bottle of Nightrain (lucky number 14) and if he wants to make an awesome DVD while blown to holy hell on weed and zapped out on an 8-ball of primo columbian gold cocaine, good for him, god knows if you are gonna ride those sweet rails you should at least have the best stuff. Big K-Lo's fan base and homo schmoe fans would think him a punk ass bitch if he used drugs that were of subpar quality. Because you do not, under any circumstances, want to be taped for a major BB video blasted on some bunk ass shit you bought from Martinez over there on 3rd st with money you stole from your paralyzed grandmother....now that is something to be ashamed off......I guess.

BRUTAL OWNAGE

Kevin was not at his best in 2001.
But 2000 & 2002 he was great, IMO

Levrone is a total embarrassment for this sport. He shows up drunk to the 2005 NPC Nationals and makes a total fool out of himself at the expo. what is his problem? I can only imagine that he's Trying to drink away his sorrow. He should go back to church and sober up. Not trying to sound judgemental but everyone at the nationals noticed it. Just like the M3 video he did high on drugs. I mean enough is enough.

Royalty, enlighten us here??

He did act strange on the M3 movie. But 1000 times natural test level
can make you act strange, i guess.

Ex Coelis · « **Reply #58 on:** May 30, 2006, 07:57:14 AM »

someone said K-Lo was on heroin during M3 (I think that's what an 8-ball is) - any thougths?

I don't think that can be done. Looking that good and doing herion?
Big fan of Kevin, but I realize the amount of "supplements" he had
to use. Considering he only trained and dieted 3-4 months for a
show. He is "fullblown" of himself and steriods at that time, i think ;-)
The whole - 100 pound dumbell curls, one arm, in your face, one arm
dumbell 100 pound curl, don't try this at home bla bla - it's just
verry strange. It would be funny to hear Kevin version of that...

Did Kevin's height hold him down?

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1936361/bio

Speak on this.

Is Kevin 6' feet tall or 5'9"?
Was he born in 1972 or 1965?
In Italy or Baltimore??

Damn I'm lost here...........

bigdumbbell · « **Reply #62 on:** May 30, 2006, 03:50:27 PM »

i would say he looked close to 5'9" last week

Yeah, I really feel sorry for Cutler, as I did for Shawn and Levrone and Flex and Nasser all those years.

The thing is, bc bodybuilding is judged, if you worked all year telling yourself this is it, this is the best I can be, i have to win this time. And then you lose, again, how the fucc do you get back in the gym and start all over.

Seriously, pro bodybuilders (the elite ones, not talking about clowns like kamali) have something seriously different from the rest of everybody else, 99.9% of people would just quit.

What else are they gonna do that would earn them that amount of $? That is why guys like Cutler continue despite such bullshit

still believe it's better with ron holding it for 9 yrs which it should end given his BSN contract is over. dont think the title would be worth as much if there had been 6-7 MrO over Ron's reign. You'd basically have Kevin beating Flex yr and forgetting to train his back... so Shawn beats him the next yr. Shawn comes in a bit soft and Flex gets him on symmetry. Then... Flex adds oil and Chris bits the bullet and upsets him. Shawn comes back the following in shape and beats Chris b/c he spent too much time getting high and celebrating his previous yr's victory. Jay is next in line. He'll make a good O for the next 3-5 yrs before Phil or some unk monster will hold it for a couple of yrs.

Ronnie is the most dominate of this era at O. Even when he is off... he can overpower the current crop of pros.

Who should have won the 2001 Olympia? Even though Ronnie was massive and Jay's conditioning was the best onstage, neither should have won.

Jay tested positive for diuhretics, clearly violating the rules of that show (also explains why his conditioning was better).

So then Ronnie's the winner, right? Nope. During Big Ron's posing routine, which he dedicated to the fallen police officers and firefighters of 9/11, he removed his posing trunks revealing another pair coloured with the stars and stripes of the American flag. However, according the official IFBB regulations handbook, only solid coloured posing trunks may be worn on stage. Thus, an American flag trunk would disqualify whoever wore it.

And so, with Big Ron and and Iron Jay both technically disqualified, the true winner of the 2001 Mr. Olympia is and was K-Lo himself, Kevin Levrone!

he started his routine with solid trucks....Doesn't say anything in the guidelines about finishing in solid does it? Ronnie has never lost an olympia. IN 01 Jay showed up looking like a different person. Hard as nails but not as hard as ronnie from the back. Ronnie beats him from the back every time....Olympias since Samiar have been won from the back....As far as Levrone, thats a joke right. The guys legs have been rediculous since the late 90s....

IMO, Kevin should have won in 2000 and 2002. He had weak legs, esp in 2002. But from the front it didn't hurt him that much.
IF Kevin had won, things as far as aesthetics would have been much better in bodybuilding. Where bodybuilding is today it can
only get worse. It's a freakshow. Kevin is a legend, but with todays judging criteria and maybe politics he never won. Sadly...

Hulkster · « **Reply #74 on:** June 01, 2006, 02:43:57 PM »

kevin should NOT have won in 2000:

Ronnie's back made kevin's back look like a little boy's.

Kevin fell into the same trap that most other Ronnie challengers ran into:

They had a better ab and thigh, but not a whole lot else to go on- and they get murdered from the back..

Kevin of 2000 was not good enough to overcome Ronnie's 2000 shape.
Had Kevin matched his early 90's condition (ie he had legs) it might have been different.

But Ronnie still looked pretty damn good in 2000:

even though he was way too heavy that year.
