Top 5 bodybuilders from 1984-1989?

lol. He's imbalanced IMO. Great back and chest, poor arms, decent legs and average delts. I think Fox, Gaspari, and Labrada should have beaten him.

hahaha i wouldn't even give him "decent legs" from most angles. The torso completely overwhelms the arms and legs.

In reality Fox looks like the 8-time winner, just looking at the pics. Far better balanced physique, size everywhere, unlike Haney.

The main problem was Weider's desire for articule, polite representatives of the "sport". Fox didn't qualify, neither did Robinson or Oliva, Haney did.This is straight from the mouth of a former Olympian to me.

Ever notice most Fox shots are from the front? now you know why

Is Haney imbalanced? yes ...is Fox ? YES.... Haney leaves Fox for dead in the front & rear latspreads , same for front double biceps ..and side chest ...fox is comparable in side triceps , beats Haney in the most muscular and that's it ..Lee has a better ab-thigh too , Haney wins front & rear standing relaxed and 1/4 turns

your selected shots of an offseason Fox and Haney prove nothing , all things considered Haney crushes him

83 Olympia not at his best first of all and hid legs for that time were more than acceptable

[NarcissisticDeity]

Fox ain't beating Haney in ANY front double biceps

[NarcissisticDeity]

Fox is narrow and has high lats , his front & rear biceps shots show this clearly

At best he wins some poses, most he doesn't. Fox wins front or back double-bi easily; nothing compelling about Haney's front or back double-bi. FYI for those who don't know, the pose requires good arms.

Haney easily wins both the frony and rear biceps shots . and FYI the pose also requires a back , clavicle width , size ..stop cherry picking what part of the judging criteria you think he wins while ignoring the rest ..Haney's 250 pounds crushes Fox 210 in any pose

backs are night & day , Haney has among the best , crushes Fox in width , thickness , depth and detail , Haney much better taper , when all factors are considered Fox doesn't come close to Haney

don't confuse the offseason and gym pics of Fox with what he brought to the stage ... when he dieted down he got small and see the averages weights for the 83 Olympia ..Haney was already 230 at his best 91 he was 250

Nice try, but I ain't Italian, Slick.

You, however, are most definitely stuck on stupid.

Bertil was only 210lbs @ the 83 O! unbealivable.

[Master Blaster]

By the way, Gaspari is No 2

QFT

[LatsMcGee]

Makkaway, LeBrada, Jusup, all great competitors.  Gaspari was a class act also.

[Wiggs]

My fav Lee Haney shot.

LOL. Like a guy who participates in a 1,000 page thread has reason. Good one.         

[johnny1]

Lee late 1980's.

[Figo]

1 Haney
2 Gaspari
3 Strydom
4 DeMey
5 Labrada

Haney was miles ahead of everyone at the time.

Bertil was good for selling mags and sups, had DJ physique, great in tank-top in the gym, pre-show.

[England_1]

Damn, Bertil was all arms. Not even close to Haney.

[crownshep]

As ND says,Bertils weak point was his back,especially his rear lat spread.Granted,on this pic he`s not pulled the left side fully out,but he has on the right side.
