Dude, everyone just about gave up when Ronnie took it in 98 then kept getting bigger. It waa set for leverone to follow on from dorian. Ronnie ruined the party lop
Interesting comparison. Ronnie and kev about same age now.
this is true, but out of a 10 year career for him to only be compared to phil for 2 of the years is like nothing. Phil has brought an awesome package consistently for 5 years. Im not a huge heath fan btw, I like levrone more and would love for some craziness to happen and watch him make a splash at the olympia. The problem is if he brought anything less than his peak package he wouldnt win, and even then it would still be a close call. The question is....is that possible this long out of the game at this age?
Agree. Heath is my least favorite Mr O but you got a point. There is zero chance 51 year old levrone is even as good as his worst show 13 years ago. Current Phil will murder levrone.
Prime levrone 15 years ago vs Phil today. I say levrone.
Epix was right. Comparing the best of both, they are very close.
Keven was "way better" in my memory but side by sides show that phil is pretty damn close to kevins best.
Ticket sales and hype. Ifbb doesn't care where he places. Without Kai there is no major threat to Phil and people want a major competitor. Since we always compare the greats of the '90's anyway and Kevin was still willing to give it his all then that's all they need to build controversy. Like you guys said he would be lucky to place top 5 at his age.
