??? ??? ???

Beat Arnold? He never competed against Arnold....Arnold retired years before Haney won his first Olympia. WTF you talking about?

I wouldn't go so far as to say that? Haney wouldn't have beaten Dorian twice. Haney had a great, great run with the O! True Champion!

Damn, Haney looks freaking rediculous there :o

Haney 84-88 was his best, 84-85 his best within those years.
Wrong. His last contest against Yates was his best.
If he fought against Yate with his 88form, Yates would beat him mercilessly.

84 wasn't his best it was among his lightest , 86 and 91 are usually considered his best with 85 following close behind , either way he was a great champion

I've always said if Haney could maintain his 91 and he faced the package Yates brought in 92 he would beat Yates again , by 1993 Yates would have left Haney for dead.

the best Haney looked was 91 IMO, his arms and legs were vastly improved over what they had been but Dorian post 93 would have destroyed ANY version of Haney.

Haney looked incredible in the flesh compared to pics when posing. He deserved everything he earned

I don't have a very in depth knowledge of the 'sport'. Just Mr Olympias and the Pumping Iron crowd. Plus, after Haney, it took a bad, bad turn imo.

there where a few guys back in the 80s who could have competed with haney , but they werent allowed to compete in the IFBB (or didnt want to for various reasons or got tired of all the 'politics'). not saying they would have beat him, but they where certainly better than gaspari.
