One thing that stands out about Haney; he recieved praise from Arnold, Yates, and Ronnie. 3 different Mr Olympia champions from 3 different era's.
Arnold said (back in 1991) that at first, he did not like the idea that Haney broke his Olympia record. But after Arnold thought about it, he said that he felt great about it because Lee was such a great person, role model, and representitive of the sport. Arnold was quick to hand out compliments to Haney.
Several years later Arnold dissed Yates saying that Dorian was not a great representive for the sport.
