I think Levrone has that wow factor Shawn lacked in terms of size but I think Shawn was the more complete BBer.
-
wow thats a tuff one , Shawn was more complete and more consistant with his conditioning , but Kev was bigger and wider

I know, and Kev had some great years of conditioning.
-
Thats is almost impossible to answer. I'd say its a tie. The only difference between them is body weight and they alternated beating each other year after year. Shawn was the most balanced but Kevin brought more muscle. I do think Shawn was the most consistently in shape though.
-

Thats true , at his best Kev was huge and ripped and much wider than Shawn
-
shawanna who???
-
hard to say but i would have to go with Shawn. Overall balance was superior, his proportions were exact, conditioning was spot on and he could pose better than just about anybody to ever step onstage
-
Shawn had the most complete physique ever. Period. So he should win.
But Levrone was bigger, so they'd give it to him. He was pretty good though.
-
at their best Shawn had better rental car
-
At their respective bests, 94 for Shawn and 95 for Kevin, Kevin wins.....superior muscularity, balance, and I give him the edge in posing as well (Shawn posing would have been more suitable for the Ms. Olympia).

205lbs vs. 255lbs.
No contest.
When Kevin was ON...he placed above Shawn every time.
-
only because judges prefer size. Its fucking criminal how they reward mass over perfection. Even when Kev had no legs and was way off they placed him high because of who he is. Shawn never had a weakness til the day he retired
-
Sorry Shawn, but Kevin gets the nod. Take a look at Kev's condition on the '97 Battle for the Olympia video :o. Unfortunately, he didn't bring that look just a few days later at the Olympia.
SERGIO!!!!

It's close. But Shawn.

It's close. But Shawn.
i have gay friends..
but your opinion is invalid cause you will NOT be able to seperate sexual preference from atheletic greatness..
sorry mate..tough break..but its true
<in the same way i'd make a horrible fem bbing judge...well hmm wonder why the most muscular women place last!!!>

Preliminary theories suggest he's an a$$hole.
Hope this helps.
-
were not talking about a popularity contest or who had the best attitude. Were talking about physiques and on that basis Shawn wins IMO

you mean hyporcite... ;) and a 2 faced winy little c unt and at 175 lbs i'd tell him that to his face...
actually next time there is a show in maryland and he is there....i shall!
;D
-
Levrone all day .....
he was never a tranny f*cking midget :-*
-
hard to find better than kevin out there,,you have ron,,arnold,,sergio,,dorian,,haney and closing the top 6 is good ole kevin
those are top 6 bodybuilders to ever walk planet earth,,both strength wize and condition/size wize
-
pounds for pounds , it's gotta be shawn
-
For a mass monster, Kevin attains very impressive aesthetic quality. That, to me, is more impressive then what Shawn had.
Shawn truly developed his body to become the closest he could to physical perfection.
Such a tough comparison but Kevin is just dwarfing Shawn from all angles.
-
This shot is just fucking outstanding....the only flaw I see here is Shawn's lack of hardness.

Levrone, so questions about it. He was the second best bodybuilder of the 1990s besides Doz. His height, skeletal structure, long muscle bellies and muscularity put Shawn on the back seat. Kevin is really, really a superb bodybuilder. When he was around 240 lbs, he was like a Sergio Oliva in the way that his muscle bellies tapered into small joints, that belonged to bones that were still big enough to carry lots of muscle mass. Too bad Kevin peaked in 1995 and had Yates in his all-time best conditioning to stop him from being Mr.Olympia. If he had entered the 1998 Olympia looking like that, he would ahve won. Keving made the mistake of coming around 255 lbs, too big for his frame, and paid the price for it. I miss you, Kevin. We won't see a bodybuilder like you for a long time yet...

I vote shawn.
Front double bi - shawn easily
side chest - kevin easily
side tri - kevin easily
back double bi - shawn easily
back lat - kevin - was wider in this pose
front lat -shawn - detail everwhere
ab and thigh - no one has a better one than Shawn.
most muscular - even. both were great.
its close, but shawn would win. Hell, both were in great shape in 94 and shawn took him.

wow according to this dexter should be mr O! :)
-
shawn looks great standing alone but looked way too small compared to the other top guys
lets not forget that he only competed once a year, which makes it much easier to peak for the O
gotta go with Mr. Levrone 8)

-
Shawn is great, but Kevin just has this 'holy shit' factor about him, so he gets my vote.
-
shawanna who???
hahaha godamn that's impressive.
-
Shawn by the slimmest of margins and only because Levrone's arms were a little too big. If they weren't so overpowering then I'd pick Levrone.
-
Close...but Shawn
Something about Levrone didn't look quite right to me. I think maybe Levrone's shoulders overpowered his upper body. :-\
-
Kevin was awesome and always brought out the best in me as a competitor.
I was a huge fan of his!
Now we are both fathers and enjoy hanging with the family and friends. ;)
Peace,
S. Ray
-
I gotta give it to Shawn, his symmetry is damn near flawless, and although Levrone is good, his arms and shoulders just overpower everything else!
-
peak shawn vs peak kevin..thats a tough one.i would say shawn for over-all development.shawns physiue was almost perfect.he was even more prefect than syhthol wheeler

i see that Kevin is giving the illuminati(New world order) hand signal...As a christian, that is a very dangerous signal to display...

you can never have too much money, and your arms can never be too big.
