I must say I kinda agree with him?
None of them particularly blew me away, Branch maybe, although I don't like his physique, he was granite and freaky as fvck.
BUT - BIG but
I grew up looking at Haney, Dorian, Ray, Levrone, Francois, Newman, Dillet, Flex and so on and so on - so with them being my first impression, I could be viewing the whole thing with an air of fond recollection, as might Levrone himself. I mean once you get used to looking at freaky physiques, it gets harder to be impressed/blown away...
Ultimately, the only way you could tell would be if you could time warp, and do comparisons, because until two bodybuilders are standing side by side, you just don't know whose illusion is going to come of worst.
