About
Kevin Levrone is an American retired IFBB professional bodybuilder. Levrone began his professional IFBB career in 1991 after finishing first in the NPC Finals. He won the Arnold Classic in 1994 and 1996. Levrone is widely regarded as one of the best professional bodybuilders of the 1990s and one of the greatest bodybuilders never to win the Mr Olympia title. Levrone competed in 68 IFBB professional contests, and held the record of the most wins as an IFBB professional until 2001 when Vince Taylor won his 21st pro win.

Where these results come from. Each contest in the table was recorded from a named source, and for Kevin Levrone those sources are MuscleMemory and NPC Contests. Open any contest above and that page names its own source and links to it where the source is still reachable. MuscleMemory is the exception: the archive we recorded those older shows from no longer answers at the addresses we hold, so it is credited by name and not offered as a link.

Data updated
How Kevin Levrone measures up
Fat-free mass index turns the height and weight on this profile into one number for how much muscle a frame carries, so a shorter competitor is not flattered by a bodyweight comparison. The normalised figure adjusts it again to a standard height, which is the version worth ranking. Both assume the 6% body fat a competitor steps on stage at, because that is the only condition the recorded weight was taken in.
The closest Olympia champion on that measure is Lee Haney, at 32.1.
What this rank is not. This database holds a height and a weight for just 463 athletes, and they are overwhelmingly the ones somebody bothered to measure: 74 of them hold an Olympia title. Almost every competitor on record carries no measurement at all. The pool also mixes every division and era together, from the lightweight women's classes to the open heavyweights, so it ranks size and nothing else. It says where Kevin Levrone sits among the athletes we hold measurements for, not among competitors.
Amateur and other shows not counted above

Compare any two athletes →In 32 meetings, Kevin Levrone finished ahead of Ronnie Coleman 18 times to 14.
Opponents are ranked by how often they shared a stage and how big the stage was, not by reputation. A meeting is one contest where both competed in the same division and both were placed.
Win rate here is first-place finishes as a share of all 64 professional contest results. It is published only where a career holds at least five, because below that a single placing moves the figure by twenty points or more.
