The last Mr. Olympia to have a classic physique I would want to aspire to. As soon as you lose that tight waist the illusion is shattered.

For me, Haney is the greatest Mr. Olympia of all time, absolutely.

I prefer other winners for specific reasons, but overall, as a complete physique, Lee comes out on top.

And as a bonus, his is one of the best personalities in the entire history of competitive bodybuilding.

Just a fine gentleman.

For the "modern" bodybuilders (post Arnold)  Lee Haney was the pinnacle of perfection

Yes. Lee Haney is better than Ronnie Coleman. Lee Haney is better than Phil Heath.  Lee is better than Dorian.

For me it's like this. 1. Lee and Dorian did it without "gurus" or coaches. That says alot. 2. Lee is pre site enhancement era. No esiciline and no synthol. At no time during his career did Haney ever have a wide waist or a gut. Dorian did,  So did Ronnie now Phil.

Let's attack Lee's so called weaknesses. Arms. No one ever accused Lee of having small arms until the Flex Wheelers, Levrone, Dillett and Vince Taylors came along. Looking at his last show which was his best look in 91 Mr. O. His arms were in proportion with everything else. If anything their arms are blown out and in many cases with foreign substances same with their delts. Next. Quads. I personally favor quads of Lee's era. Not Ronnie and beyond.  Overblown body parts are in direct contrast to proportions portion of the show.

So when you add all these things up, Haney wins. No torn biceps or triceps. He had calves. A vacuum, could pose. Never lost as Mr. O. I could go on. He went out on top. All others did not.

The only thing that's changed is the judging and it shouldn't have.

Anyway, Haney is best of all time and the greatest.

Not sure about the calves, he is my pick for best Hebrew bodybuilder.

Isn't that interesting?

Back in Haney's day, pros could wear street clothes and look like athletes.

no

you put every guy ever on stage at their best, he isn't top 10 probably not even top 20

yeah he was a good guy, so what?  bodybuilding is not a personality contest

dominated a very weak era, gaspari and labrada were his best competition throughout his reign and those guys aren't even top 30 on the best all time stage

he saw dorian and got scared

saying he's the best is like saying royce gracie is the best mma fighter ever, the sport grew and evolved and he was surpassed

Like Haney said he's the " only 8 time Mr Olympia winner with a 31" waist "
Awesome pic in his book which was a very good book.

1998 Ronnie was better than Lee, 2008 Mr O version of Dexter, 93 Dorian too

The peak of bbing was def the 90’s up until early 2000’s. After that it was Dan down hill from there

Haney had a magical, otherworldly quality to his physique. I won't even try to explain what I mean. But I was hooked on all things bb as an 8 year old kid seeing him :D

Only thing was that he was black, which unconsiously affected how I viewed him, even as a child. Usually black bb fans like other blacks, whites root for whites, it's only natural, you identify with your own.

Ironically you were not aware of any of the contests when they actually occurred.
