I respect Lee's achievements on stage and the way he introduced the mass monster era to bodybuilding (as opposed to the gut monster era, which is retarded and ruined everything).
But he's remained marginal to the industry and had no charisma or personality outside of being a nice guy and a good Christian family man.
For me, Yates is the true winner. He was the biggest, hardest, driest, freakiest bodybuilder (for his height) of his period, and stepped down before destroying his health or his body. He's now in good health, 20 years retired, owns his own gym, has a beach property, another in England, doesn't need a 9-5 job, has a hot wife, and smokes weed and drinks red wine year-round. Plus he's a humble guy, even if not completely honest about his exact drug use and with limited replay value in interviews.
