Taylor was not better than Yates that year.

Yates showed Haney his time was up.

Vince is still going strong and close to 70. In the same time Ronnie and Flex are like half dead. All ketchup and regular coke.

The next year they billed the Olympia as Yates vs Taylor since Haney had retired. Taylor was way off and not even close to Yates.

Yeah. Lol.... listened to an interview with John Brown on Dennis James show. Brown said something like that eating steak and drinking coke-cola is all you need. Said people are dumb for drinking gatorade and should drink coke during a workout.... I thought WTF?

Look at Yates' calves and quads compared to Haney. He beats him easily. But Haney looked good that year no doubt.

Haney was at his all time best but Yates could have beaten him - his lower body was so much better.  But each won poses, so Lee winning was fine.

But I haven't seen the mandatories in so long.

The champ did what he had to do to go out on top, but also knew it was time to retire.

Haney won the upper body. Yates won the lower body

Francis Benfatto and Sonny Schmidt should have beaten Shawn Ray.

Achim Albrect was awesome that year.

Apparently Haney told Ron Love that he should have been in the top 6.

Maybe he meant the original recipe with the cocaine in it

Yates showed Haney his time was up.

How was Haney's time was up at the tender age of 31, just 3 or 4 years older than Yates?

Haney claimed he FINALLY learned how to peak for a show (which was a frightening thought).

All Haney had left to accomplish was breaking Schwarzenegger's record. And he did that in style.

Then why didn't Lee continue on to get 10 Olympia wins ??

And yes Lee had a great physique & is Vastly underrated- that said he Knew Dorian was improving rapidly
& wasn't going to beat him the next year - He retired while still at the Top. Smart move.

It was a very smart move. Even if Haney managed to win the next year he never would have come close to Yates after "the transformation."

The record was seven and he got eight, pure and simple.

Yates looked almost exactly the same in 1992 as he did in 1991, basically a white version of Haney. Thus, with Haney gone, the Shadow took the title.

It was a very smart move. Even if Haney managed to win the next year he never would have come close to Yates after "the transformation."

You talk as if Haney couldn't have made similar improvements. It's not as if Haney was 10 years older than Yates. They're just three years apart.

Yates would have had to be somewhat bigger than Haney to beat him. At the same size, Haney gets the better of Yates, due to shape and aesthetics.
