Wiggs used to talk about him being the greatest Mr Olympia of all time, and I think he's correct.  Dominated the field for 8 years, consistently great physique, no scandals or depravity to speak of.  Voluntarily stopped competing at the peak, didnt hang on too long afterwards.  I dont think there were any controversial victories either but one of the bodybuilding historians here may correct me. 

the only weak points were weird abs and MAYBE smallish biceps.  The biceps had great shape and looked good in FDB but disappeared in side tri, BDB, etc.  but he was the last and biggest Mr O with a v-taper, and could still do a vacuum.

The epitome of mass with class.

Yes and to this day he still is. In physique and in how he has moved in his life.

he's right, i phrased it poorly.

Haney retired as a personal decision, not because of his body failing him or because he couldnt win anymore.  He left on top and didnt look back.  Contrast that w Yates and Coleman, two other contenders for GOAT

Speak of the devil  ;D i scoffed at your claims at the time but i realize you were 100% correct.

a question for all: would Haney have beaten Yates in 92?

Good question. I think he could have. He would have to change his leg training and get bigger. His conditioning is fine. If he wanted to he could have.

Haney was a great bodybuilder but I think he retired at the right time...Dorian came back with a massive back. Haney would have definitely lost in 92 to dorain

He is.  In a class of his own.  I have met him several times and he is so incredibly knowledgeable.  It is a shame that he has disappeared from the scene basically.  He has a ton to share.

Not a fan of Haney but that does not mean he isn't one of the all time best. 

I still think Arnold is the top dog and Haney is maybe 3rd or 4th but after all, this is a very subjective hobby.

Wholeheartedly agree with one asterisk- Rhoden had the taper and could do a vacuum. Thought the O was turning around when he won but nope, right back to bloated oil filled freaks.
