1994 O: RAY vs LEVRONE

[Royalty]

Remember the rumors back in 2002 or 2003 that Shawn Ray was a long-time drug dealer on the west Coast.... and Milo's Sarcev said that Shawn Ray had breakfast with the FBI/DEA as he ratted people out?

Oh yeahhhh...

[Nether Animal]

Didn't the DEA crash the '04 Arnold and ask a bunch of people questions? Wonder if that had anything to do with it

Yes, I think so...

...and Ronnie got fired from the Arlington Police Dept in '03 or '04... I think it was over receiving drugs via the US Mail. God, I hope that Shawn wasn't involved with that in anyway. Hopefully it was just rumors.

I like Dorian but he was really one of the worst mr. Olympias in the history, not to mention he was like 7 times mr. Olympia, he should have only been Mr. Olympia once 1993, same goes for Jay!

6 times, and I think most would say he earned 95 as well, if you can look past the left arm.

X2,,I STILL THINK KEV AND SHAWN PUSHED HIM A FEW TIMES AND COULD HAVE GOT THE NODE,BUT YATES DOMINATED HIS MAIN WINS..

[Bevo]

Levrone, who is half Italian, might be darker skinned than Shawn

Boyer with the wig?

Shawn - "strength isn't important when challenging your partner"

Kevin - "right"

Translation : Shawn can't hang with Kevin lol

[epic_alien]

thats one crazy wig coe is wearing.  its so blatantly fake

[Hulkster]

Shawn did compete in the 96 Arnold Classic and got 5th place, beaten by flex, levrone, dillet, and Vince Taylor..... So there u go

true but at the 96 Olympia he killed them all and should have arguably beaten dorian that year.

love the vacuum in the double bi. don't see that anymore.

Ummmmmmm NO

[obsidian]

Geez huge

Levrone kills him in this shot.

[Danimal77]

seeing the 3 of them training together shows you the illusion created onstage like in ray's case 5'6-5'7 205,kev is just massive next to him in the studio every which way and strong as fuk too damn...his legs were massive as mentioned 92/93 he guest posed with yates and he was 260 smooth but huge ...

I think Ray went up to 215 in competition in his later years. He looked best at 205 like you said.

[Danimal77]

Ummmmmmm NO

Oh come on, what a piss poor comparison shot and you know it.

[Wiggs]

Welll...Shawn and Kevin did train together, and I think Kevin had given Shawn  his props And Flex had said that training with Shawn is intense, and got him into shape for the 97 Arnold. Flex wanted to train with Shawn for the 97 Mr. O, and Shawn was like "nope".
And Shawn did go up to 180 pound Dumbbells I believe in one of his vids. He went up to 150s and put them with good form. So, for a 205-218 pound bodybuilder he was pretty strong.

Shawn was heavier than that in the offseason when he toyed with the big weights. He weighed between 225-240 in the offseason, having gone as high as 250 at one point and that's on a 5'6"-5'7" frame.

Levrone's height & width gave him the advantage over Shawn. Kevin's bone structure was better. And Levrone had good roundness.

Shawn only beat Levrone when Levrone was off.

Looks great standing by himself or next to a garden gnome

Exactly.

Here is Shawn next to a taller/wider Levrone. Levrone's roundness was too much for Shawn.

Yep. But, in his Final Countdown vid where he was close to comp shape, when he was training chest, I believe he is using 150s

Not.  I was there.  Shawn looked invisible next to Yates.  That was between Yates and Nasser, but Nasser got waxed in all the rear poses, and it was over.
