This version of Lee Haney would have beat a 1992 Dorian Yates
« on: August 18, 2017, 04:15:07 AM »
This off-season version of Lee Haney guest posing at 265 pounds in 1991 would have blown away MANY of the 1990's TOP guys. Lee Haney clearly had the mass to go toe to toe with a 1992 version of Dorian, who was only 242 pounds (only 3 pounds heavier than he weighed in 1991 when he lost to Haney). Even a 1993 Dorian was only 256 or 257 pounds. I believe this version of Lee Haney would have beaten a 1992 Dorian and quite possibly a 1993 and beyond version too, had Lee kept competing and getting larger, without compromising his symmetry.

It would have been close. It's one of those things that we will never know, like Dorian vs Ronnie 1998.

Lee "probably" could have won in 1992, but not in 1993. Dorian's condition would of been too much for Lee.

Dorian dropped extra weight in 1992 because Haney wasn't there. He didn't mind coming in 6 pounds lighter because his main competition was Labrada and Ray. Also Haney would have needed to show up in shape, no guarantee.

These exact pics seem to get posted every few months with the same synopsis ('92 Dorian wouldn't beat it).

He looks too top heavy in my opinion.  Certain shots of Haney are great but I'm not a fan of these ones.

But still, no GH gut in comparison to Yates but still with comparable overall size.

Man, what a shame to see how bodybuilding has de-volved from Haney to Phildo.  

Phildo thinks he is awesome because he wins in an era of shit bodybuilding (and even then about 3 of his wins he didn't deserve).  It's like he won the 100 meter dash at the special olympics. "Yeah Phildo, you won, but... oh forget it."

What's easy to forget is that Lee was still so young when he walked away.

Dorian was so much harder and had way better legs.

A '92 matchup would still be interesting.

Haney had far better legs than Dorian did. Dorian had awful and deformed quad muscles.

It begs the question WHY Haney didn't feel confident enough in himself to go against Dorian in 1992. I don't think we even saw the full potential of Haney. He was still young and could have packed even more mass (270-275 pounds easily) onto his frame at 5'11". Haney didn't strike me as a coward. Dorian bowed out in 1998 because his body was a wreck, but Haney was injury free and YOUNGish.

In '91 his legs were improving... worth noting.

Like I said, we really didn't get to see Haney's true potential. He was never really pushed in the 80's to get better. He began to be pushed in 1991 by Dorian and Vince Taylor and would have been pushed even more in 1992 (Kevin Levrone, Shawn Ray) and beyond (Flex Wheeler, Paul Dillet, etc). The man could have become even heavier with more cuts and could have rivaled a lot of the top guys from the 90's.

Yea, shame on Lee for retiring after winning 8 Olympia's in a row and beating Dorian already.

What an idiotic post.

Comparing Lee to Dorian is like comparing a Bentley to a highly polished turd. If anyone is wondering what a big old truck driver looks like with all the fat burnt off, Dorian is it. Flows like dogshit, belly of a cow.

Dorian's tanning was off. Not sure what's 'awful and deformed' about Dorian's legs.
Lee had deeper lines, but he was never had that granite look of a Dorian.
