[SuperPH]

some workouts of The Uncrowned king of Mr. Olympia

[deathmetal1992]

Favorite bodybuilder along with the freak that is Paul Dillett and the myth, Sergio Oliva.

'uncrowned' = not good enough

[littlearm]

I think Levrone deserves the title of uncrowned Mr. Olympia far more than Kai does.

Kai might actually be a better bodybuilder than Levrone (although I still prefer Kevin) but when you look at the physiques that they lost to, Levrone was robbed more.

When was he robbed?

Just wait, someone's going to say "2002", then someone's going to post actual 2002 pics, making said person look insane. It happens over and over on this forum.

I have no idea how people think that was a close show. Just because Ronnie was off doesn't mean Levrone should have won.

I'd say 1996 was an year where levrone should have won.

[Canuck77]

Talk to me OP. Repped.

[spamy]

I'd say 1996 was an year where levrone should have won.

He was 4th that year, after Dorian, Ray and Nasser (who was DQed for diuretics). So, Levrone wasn't even second and close to Dorian.

In 2002, not only Ronnie beat him, but Cormier should have placed second, same as in 1999.

People think it was a close show, because it was a close show. Ronnie got perfect scores at pre-judging but was beaten by Kevin at the finals.

[Larfleeze]

Ron still would've slaughtered him.

[gozenbo]

[JigPig]

Ron still would've slaughtered him.

Not in 02. 2000 levrone was insane and his legs and back hasn't regressed like it did in 02. Heck I'd argue Levrones front in 02 decimated Ronnie in the finals

You sure you didn't mean the opposite? Kai and Phil's Olympia's have been some of the closest in history, Ronnie and Kevin's have been pretty clear cut

[CIAKG]

Kevin did not get any 1st Mr. O as well as Kai Greene

[JiveTurkey1]

One of my favorite bodybuilders alongside Bob Paris.

I definitely meant Levrone. I don't remember which year, but I do remember being in Las Vegas and seeing Levrone and Coleman on stage and just thinking how amazing Kevin looked. I admit being a bit biased because I think Kevin had a more pleasing physique than Ronnie so I naturally favored him. And granted, maybe I just got caught up in the hype of the show. But before that Levrone wasn't on my radar and he really impressed me.

Tell me a levrone story

[trulyhuge1]

Levrone could have won an O.....but didn't. He was up against Dozer and Freak Nasty....those are horrible odds. He is one of the best ever in terms of wins and overall physique. His delts, traps and arms flowed like no other. His wind up into his side chest pose was awesome!
On a side note, in the chest video.....that seated chest press (Flex press) is the best, most isolated chest piece I have ever used.

[alex070707]

Sammy, any good quality video of 00 Levrone? I only found poverty 240p. Btw never saw how good his back was in 00, he literally is comparable to Coleman apart from glutes and quad sweep.

Comparable to Ronnie? I'm not too sure about that, but here are many pics of Levrone from the 2000 Mr. Olympia. His back still looks pretty weak even compared to 2002 Ronnie. Levrone was good everywhere else in 2000 except his back.

2000 Levrone (below) would of still lost to 2002 Ronnie.

I'm sorry I didn't express myself clearly enough, I was comparing him to 02 Ronnie, where I know he still would have probably lost even given his 00 form. Thanks for the pics though!

[JigPig]

2000 Levrone (below) would of still lost to 2002 Ronnie.

Yes but it wouldn't be a slaughter. Ronnie is the GOAT, but people need to accept that he is not the unstoppable juggernaut that they perceive him to be. in 03 and 04? Yes.

Levrone and cutlers front were better than Ronnie in 02 and 01 respectively.

[Unbiasedfan]

And 98, 99, 2000, 2001 and 2005. Nobody would beat him in any of those shows, ever.

Considering ronnie lost points in 2002 against levrone, and considering phil 2011 and jay's prime are better than levrone, i wouldn't feel comfortable putting 2002 in the mix. But every other coleman win, is the goat physique.

This. everything bar 02 is unbeatable.
No idea how cutler got prejudging in '01, seen pretty much all the pics, he looked good but Coleman was amazing
