Lee Haney

[Pollux]

i agree haney looked his best in 1991.

Homeboy had to for that record-breaking 8 Olympia.

Those are damn good shots of Lee.

indeed. a last surge of motivation.

[hipolito mejia]

Lee Haney the man !!!!

[Hypo]

I think Haney and Yates knew when their time was up and quit on a high note. I reckon Yates would've smashed him if they competed again at the O. Just like if Yates didn't retire because Ronnie would've smoked him.

Too bad Ronnie doesn't see the writing on the wall.

yates didnt retire because he was afraid of ronnie. yates retired because he was riddle with injuries.

yates didnt retire because he was afraid of ronnie. yates retired because he was riddle with injuries.

And those injuries would've caused him to lose to Ronnie. That's what I'm saying.

ronnie should have retired years ago

dorian should have retired when he fucked his biceps back in 94.

If I could have the physique of any Mr. Olympia, I would choose Lee Haney's.

When it comes to the '80's, excluding competitors from the 70's who continued to compete, I like 1) Gary Strydom, 2) Lee Haney, 3) Bob Paris, 4) Chris Dickerson (though he may have competed in the '70's), and 5) Samir Bannout.  Including guys from the '70's, I go Zane, Padilla, Strydom, Haney, then Paris, with an honorable mentions to Robinson, Mentzer (1980 only, unfortunately) and Platz.  (I don't include Columbu becuase he was far superior in the '70's imo, as was Arnold, who like Mentzer also never competed again after 1980.)

yep dickerson competed in the 70's he was 42 i think when he won the O

I foresee Ronnie continuing on a downward spiral, onstage, chasing fleeting glory.

It will not end well for him

something like that i think

[Bluto]

but the no of olympia wins makes haney a special case + it wasnt that long ago

considering that he makes it at the end of the list

one has to wonder why

[bodybuilder1234]

Arnold
Ronnie
Dorian
Haney

etc etc

dead last: Franco Columbo

He didnt have the physique to be the Mr Olympia

Yes...Franco gifted heavily

[Bluto]

i wasnt speaking of haney performance wise rather that he rarely gets talked about on the boards etc

which is odd considering it wasnt that long ago he was a champ and he won a shitload of sandows

Haney's chest = ridiculous

[fearANDloathing]

Coleman= ungodly combo of size and conditioning
Haney= second only to Coleman. He beats Yates because of his great shape
Sergio= The Myth. nuff said
Arnold = Greatest impact and most influential bodybuilder but NOT the Greatest Olympian
Yates= ushered in a new era of conditioning for big Men
Worse: Zane(pick any year), Franco's Second title and Arnold's last title

[Figo]

Dickerson was  deserving winner of many shows, but 83 Mr O, must've been the result of "private pre-judging" in the judges' hotel rooms...
