Haney, as well as being an overrated Mr. O competed in an era where, mostly, his greatest threats were Gaspari, lambarda and Christian. Hardly much really. His multiple O victories are very flattering. Put him in a different era and his mantle is empty.

he beat yates in 91 and i believe he could have beaten him in 92 or it would have been very close!!.. of course he was not overrated and imo he may be the only multi times mr. o who deserved all his wins!

If thats your logic then Arnold competed in a weak era. Lee Labrada, Shawn Ray, Rich Gaspari, and a young Dorian etc. certainly weren't weak.

Your thread is overrated
beat it dickflop

Agreed! He competed against some of the best and really dominated during his reign. I don't think he had any questionable wins like Yates, Coleman or Cutler either.

you are on the pipe.
or mentally challenged.
or both.

Within a year or after haneys retirement, Levrone, Wheeler, Dillett, Cormier, turned pro
haney just missed the The genetic elite era
....but yates' 93 form was unbeatable by anyone at that time
-
You cant pick guys out of certain timelines and throw them into others and judge them that way idiot. What would Lee have looked like with todays nutrition,drugs ,etc. You forget who he competed against it wasnt just Gaspari. Strydom was awesome so was Demay. He beat who was put up against him. Sorry he didnt have any bloated, syntholed,bald mutants to compete against.

Lee Haney's only questionable win was in 1990 when the IFBB drug tested the competitors, down alot in size he was still good enough with his taper, lines, etc to hold off a very good Lee Labrada and a young hungry Shawn Ray if Mike Christan had larger quads and calves that year he may have pulled off a huge upset as his conditioning and upperbody size was very very good, Haney overrated?....absolutely not take a look at the 1984, 85, 86 88 and 1991 Mr Olympias he was incredible with his size, shape, and conditioning (for the times)

Larry Scott competed in a weak era.
Sergio competed in a weak era.
Arnold's era was REALLY weak (he was the only guy in the 1971 Olympia).
Columbu, Zane and Dickerson competed in a weak era.
Haney's era was getting competitive and not weak.
Dorian's era was pretty good.
Coleman's era was competitive for 2-6 place
It's competitive again and not weak.

Click the link below and scroll down to see some of Haney's competition. I don't exactly think Haney competed in a "weak" era, it is just that bodybuilding has advanced since then. Bodybuilders have gotten progressively better [that is, bigger and more shredded] over the years, just as hockey players have become more skilled. He was still the best competitor at the time. Bodybuilding today draws from a larger talent pool of course.

Haney had it all, muscularity, shape, conditioning, symmetry, proportion, personality, balance in life. The greatest ever representative of bodybuilding 8)
-
Strydom (and Labrada, had he been taller) would have and should have walked all over Haney..he had a strange physique...it seemed incomplete.

did somebody ask for your opinion, Mr. Akef?

Strydom held his own against Haney everywhere but from the back. Unfortunately this weakness made Haney the obvious choice. Strydom was massive and his back was his only glaring flaw in my opinion.

True enough but Haney had chicken legs compared to Strydom.
Obviously that doesnt count in the Olympia...its always the guys with the biggest back that win.

WELL the great arnold had less competitiors to worry about overall,1980 was more of a rear lineup of competitiors,haney had like todays standards of 15 or more to contend with.obviously bbing was really more underground subculture in 60/70's but still haney had great run and some of the best bbers were there.

You can't really say that though, when Arnold was competing barely anyone knew or did bodybuilding...shit Arnold is the reason anyone still works out and trains, he started that whole fitness frenzy in the late 70's, early 80's..of course it's a given you will have more competitors now as well are better more potent designer drugs and peptides.

Haney competed against and beat 5 Mr O's:
Bannout, Dickerson, Oliva, Zane, Yates.
And 84-91 was VERY competitive!

Absurd claim and like saying Jessie Owens was an over rated Olympic champ because Ussian Bolt wasn't there in 1936.
-
Lee was a great champion and was king during an era in which there really werent any mass monsters-- not in the sense like there were when dorian took over and today. The physiques were much more aesthetic back then-- no gh guts and site injections/ synthol everywhere.
This thread is retarded.

Yes, you are correct that at the Olympia back trumps legs. Gary's legs were very good as you said, especially for a man of 6'2.
