THat's the thing, Levrone could hang with much bigger guys while maintaining that Classic look, while still packing on alot of mass and thickness specially from the front.
Yes, I would think Phil could possibly win if their prime physiques were to go in a head to head.
However, I think Levrone is without a doubt going to finish his career with more IFBB wins, and more IFBB placings. I think his legacy may even be superior to Phil's. Who knows though, we shall see...
Must say I don't take too much interest in comparing people from different decades, only those from the same..

Doesn't matter where you start, it matters where you finish.
Don't blame genetics, the difference is hard work.

you do realize there are only 2 mandatories that are 'back' poses out of 8 total? Even if Phil wins from the back, which I disagree with, Kevin still wins the other 6 poses from the front which makes him better overall

I know.
Alright then, not speaking in terms of competition i think Levrone looks better from the front and Heath looks better from the back.

Hands Clasped Most Muscular - Can go either way
Abs & tights - Kevin
Front Lat Spread - Kevin
Front Double Biceps - Phil
Side-Chest - Kevin
Side-Triceps - Phil
Rear Double Biceps - Phil
Rear Lat Spread - Phil
so no, Kevin does not win the other 6 poses.. Lay off the fanboyism..

I just love phil heath's physique. He isn't the biggest, but I think he is the best.

Wider sometimes does not means better or Ruhl would be winning shows left and right..
See the pics from Davisforman.
Agreed. Kevin may be wider, but Phil's back is thicker, has better shape, and better separation. Overall, I give both back poses to Phil.

not really, unless you concede your post was befitting of a child. All I did was copy you verbatim (with the exception of changing a few of the names to Kevin) to parody the lack of effort on your part. Maybe that's all you're capable of :/

Not really interested in going on tinypic put codes for every pic and upload 16 pics.. Why don't you do it yourself if you are that interested.
