Tom Platz is considered by many to have had the best legs in the history of BB.
Plus, look at the genuine training intensity and classic posing routine, etc.

Did the sport peak over 30 yrs ago? $:-\$

He was so out of proportion I thought he looked odd. His legs were so big it made his upper body look small and underdeveloped. Still, great legs.

The biggest are not necessarily the best and Platz is a great example of this.

He's the freakiest, indeed, but not the best as they just look ugly. Still, he seems like a totally cool person, just never found anything about his legs appealing.

His intensity was unmatched and who the hell else is ever gonna squat 225 for 10 min straight?

Platz had the most impressive, but Arnold had the best overall IMO.

Arent kai's legs bigger than platz....just that kai is big all around and thats why they appear not as big as platz?

Exactly! Perfectly proportioned. Perfectly. Not overly developed so he has to waddle around like a fatso. In his era, no one can close to his level of development, insane separation, and calves (especially from the back) that even today few can touch.

Best ever? No way.

Arnold's genetics easily surpass most others'.

Prettiest: Arnold
Freakiest: Platz

Notables: Munzer, Mendenhall, Dorian, Jeff King, Dillet, Demayo, Cutler, Flex Lewis, Schmidt, Luke Wood. There are many not mentioned with great legs.

Ronnie's legs were huge but oddly shaped and his calves ruined it. If he had Calves like Dorian it may have been better but even then the shape of his hamstrings and calves were not ideal.

Luke Wood actually had some pretty freaky legs as well.
