Lee was one of the last of the small waisted Mr O's and a great guy (no homo).

I wonder who would have won? A 1980 Arnold, or a 1984 Lee Haney?

Would have been interesting though to see if Arnold would have competed in the 80's, if he would have had to increase his bodyweight and by how much? There weren't too many mass monsters at that time, but many of the guys were TALL, like Berry Demey, Mike Christian, Lee Haney. I'm sure Arnold would have had to step onstage at 250-260 to be competitive.

If Arnold only focused on bodybuilding and didn't start acting he could have won at least 5 more Olympias. Lee is a classy guy and a great Mr Olympia but lets not get confused. Arnold is the greatest of all time.

I just recently bought his book via Amazon. I had it for free from my friends GNC store and lost in during a move. He was the MJ of bodybuilding. Regarding the (no homo) remark, he did once mentioned how he was so worried about gays (Bob Paris maybe) in the IFBB and having to go to the doctor and be told "Sorry Lee but -one of them- must have cried on you!" My Govenor is great too but like Bill Pearl said he much more of a taker than giver. But that's like most great euro athletes.

Yeah, he gave up a possible career making $600 a month selling glossies and doing g4p to be recognized as one of hollywood's biggest action star and be worth close to 1 billion dollars...what a fool, he could have been as big and popular as tom prince!

Are you saying that Lee Haney was afraid of getting AIDS through casual contact?

Not really because Arnold at 240 pounds would have looked bigger than all the guys you mentioned... and Ferrigno wasn around either

WOOOOSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH

Whats even more ironic is that Arnold never reached his full pontential ! 99% of Mr.O winners reached their potential in their 30's and Arnold started to move away (get smaller) by age 27.

WOOOOSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I think you must be dense. I'm not suggesting that Arnold made the wrong decision. I'm just saying that Arnold would have won several more Olympias if he didn't have aspirations of being a movie star. Or maybe you do understand what I mean and you just enjoy being a prick. I'm going with the latter.
