Why Lee Haney truly is the B.O.A.T. and G.O.A.T.

[Skeletor]

This is the pic that summarizes why Lee is better than Ronnie.

Also, Lee can walk and speak normally.

[Tarantula157]

How can you tell? He wore black trunks for both Olympia's and I think it's 1993.

Lee was a fantastic builder, but Arnold is the one and only GOAT. All others just walk in his footsteps.

I dont think there has ever been a better FDB pose in bodybuilding.

Of course there is.

Arnold had no competition until 1980
Haney beat hundreds of competitors over his 8 year reign

A better father doesn't necessarily mean best bodybuilder though.


WooooSHHHHHHHHHH

Retire at 31 without injuries, internal damages and gut, of course he is the greatest

Yeah, but we wouldn't have Mexican Conan had Arnold not diddled the help.

In Arnold's defense there weren't as many contests in his era and you could make the argument that the amount of contests Haney enjoyed was because of the popularity that Arnold brought to the sport

And as such Haney had way more opposition hence the better bodybuilder.

better looking body yes, but not in a contest

"raising the roof" is not a mandatory pose

Brutal but true.

Haney was the very best of his era, Yates the best of his. Ronnie the best of his, the judging criteria adapted and supported their physiques at that time.

Haney would have had to up the dose to beat or compete with Doz,he retired instead, by the time Ron won shape and symmetry was gone completely for the sake of all size and that's what Ron was. Doz 92,93 shape was shape condition and symmetry was still part of the equation as his waist blew out post 93 and his body tore it started to drift towards the era that supported Ronnie size for the sake of size. I still think he won. those shows but the sport started to regress after 93. and iMO its still is.

[French]

Dorian 93 was the ultimate combination.
Haney's success at such a young age while preserving
his health, family and legacy are unmatched.

How many opponents you face matters at regional and national level. Not at the Olympia when you are the best in the world. How many you face in boxing to become the world champion? The original idea for the Olympia was to be a contest just for the very best in the World, like in boxing. Scott Vs.Pull, Arnold vs Sergio, etc. The many competitors were at the Mr. America, Mr. World, Mr. Universe contests and then the Olympia was in conjunction with this contests as a grand finale saved only for the winners.
E.g. Firrigno beat over 50 people at the IFBB Mr. Universe in 1974 only to be destroyed by Arnold at the Olympia where there were just 4 competitors total, 2 in each weight class.
