Kevin is the right person to do a comeback! And there is one more...Shawn Ray! Shawn would make a great comeback. Probably the best ever of all that tried! Dude have never been INGURED and seem to have nice skin. I guess he could fill up those muscle pretty well if he decide to do it!

I think Shawn and Levrone are the best former pros out there for a comeback! I really cant think of anyone else who could make it. These Negros have nice elastic skin. Shawn Ray shine like a 20 year old kid on butterdiet!

Let's get real, there hasn't been any significant advancement in upper-level BB drugs in 20 years.  SARMS?  Lol those wouldn't do shit for an IFBB pro.  Peptides?  Short of IGF-1 they're worthless for a BBer of Levrone's caliber.

Sure there's new stuff out there but nothing of note, as evidenced by the pros stepping on stage today.  Yeah they might be heavier but thats because they're in poorer condition.

Boatloads of AAS, GH, Slin & Synthol...that's all that's needed to max a physique out and none of those compounds are unfamiliar to Kevin

Very true. Nothing really game changing since Kevin's day.

I have no doubt that Levrone will never set foot on stage even for a guest posing.  My only question is will he even post any pictures showing anything but gym big shots before he withdraws.

Kevin Levrone looks incredible for 52 years.

His size and conditioning looks good in those videos too.

I remember how at one stage he slimmed down massively and looked like he barely lifted any weights, and the time when he wanted to try acting, so his current condition is already a great comeback.

The minute Kevin steps in that stage, the public is going to get wild. His ego is going to go to the stars. Every pose in his routine is going to be aplauded, like none of phil heath has ever been. He is going to feel like a million dollars, and he knows it. We love him, and he craves that love, one more time in his life.
It's going to be a great show, and he wants it in his heart.
Even if he dies for us bitches.

Dex is incorrect in a sense. Kevin Levrone was 2nd at the 2002 Mr. O, and Dex was fourth. 2003 Mr. O, Kevin was 6th and Dex was third. So, Levrone did beat him, the year before he retired. Levrone's last year, Dex beat him at the Show of Strength (Dex was first, Levrone 3rd), and the 2003 Arnold Classic, where Dex was 4th and Levrone 5th.

I used to be really into it, even thought about competing. But, years ago realized that staying in shape is better in the long run.

While I hate to ever agree with this miserable little troll, he's right but did anyone see how he still managed to insert himself into the discussion.

Kevin didn't give him an interview
Kevin didn't consult him.
He's going to get last callout cause that's what happened to him at his first Mr. Olympia

All about Shawn Shawn Shawn...Some things will not change.

Yep...and there will be an "I you so".
I think Shawn is concerned  to see the guys that he competed against, either wind up sick or dead. From a spectator's point of view, nobody right now, outside of Dex has the right to say, "I beat Kevin Levrone".  I remember when Melvin Anthony had said that he beat Flex...when he could never beat a prime Flex, let alone even get into shape to even win an Arnold Classic.
Also, Shawn does  do interviews for MD, and maybe Levrone said he would give him an exclusive interview. Since we don't know what they may have said over the phone or in DMs, we don't know if Levrone did or did not say he would consult with Shawn.

He should know by now that Kevin isn't necessarily playing with a full deck.  Kevin always struck me as eccentric but this seems a bit extreme.  He's right that the health tradeoffs aren't worth it nor is it worth it to get up there at 52 to try and teach these guys a lesson because you are not. 

Like I said, A lot of those guys from the 90's are pissed because they see this half assed training, all these drugs and injections, lackluster stage presence and they know if they were up there they would win and blow it away....BUT their time has passed.  Move on.  Get what you can from your legacy and enjoy that.

People don't care for these new guys.  The social media idiots are more popular than them.

I say Kevin should keep training cause he loves it, be a fine ass 52 year old man, and go find some rich woman who will love and care for him while he does his pursuits.

He should go on the road with his band and make a documentary, from "Muscle to Music: The Full Blown Documentary"

they all say it cant be done til it gets done!

U cant listen to the ney sayers. The world would stop spinning if we listen to peoples advice! Follow the voice inside you!

Go Kevin! Kevin is not 51. Just take a look at him! Bilogical age more like 37-40.

Why not? U live once! Make some action out of it! Sitting on a fat ass being negativ like Shawn. Better? I think is Kevin doing the right thing!



Listening to "these around" is usualy thebiggest mistake one can make. Unless these around are highly succesful and a "role model" of whatever a person want's to achieve. It's like... people say "Hey, chin up, be more confident, you are better than you think!", then when a person becomes confident and starts to think good of himself the SAME fukkin losers start hating on a said person, that's how it usualy goes.

and I bet Shawn is mad because Kevin still looks good at 52.  Kevin is still fine and still has a great body.  Shawn cannot say the same.

If Shawn was doing what Kevin is doing, he'd likely look a lot better than the "Maryland Muscle Machine".

Ray is considerably more intelligent and focussed than Levrone.

That's debatable.

I think Kevin is Eccentric while Shawn tends to be more pragmatic.  I don't think it helps that people are gassing Kevin up but maybe this is better than drinking.  IJS.

I couldn't believe my ears when I heard people saying he could come back and win it.  No wonder everyone looks so terrible these days.  These people are delusional!

As much as I don't give a rats ass about Shawn, he's left bbing competitions behind, hasn't really stayed in bbing shape and think he really doesn't mind or is bothered by it. If he cared he would be gassed up and trying to relive the past like Kevin, Nasser, Kamali, etc

Sure I think he wouldn't mind winning an O and still tries to stay relevant but he seems to be ok on where he's at. Levrone cannot say the same. Even tom Prince is smart after his health scare, many others get sucked right back in and it doesn't end well...

I don't mean just being stage ready...I just meant that Kevin is still looking good while Shawn has let himself go and For someone as self important, vain and narcissistic as Shawn that probably factored into his remarks. He started off by sounding all butthurt that Kevin did not grant him an interview or consult him for his opinion.

Shawn is right though.  Kevin has nothing to prove and for his health's sake he doesn't need to put his body through that. I'm just shocked at all the people saying this is going to be amazing and he can actually win.  To me that just proves the argument that it's all drugs.
