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.

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.

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.

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.

17:00 second mark.  " Lee are you going to retire now? You know something? I've been competing for 9 years and I finally leaned how to peak. So I might be around for a few more years "





He retired because he won the beat Arnolds record and because of Dorian Yates. Dorian in his first Olympia contest beat him in the muscularity round despite being 10lbs lighter. If Haney repeated his condition from 1991 in 1992 I think he would've beaten Dorian again. Dorian was only 3lbs heavier in 1992 compared with 1991. By 1993 NO version of Haney is beating Dorian. Could he improve? Not likely. Like Lenda Murray said about Dorian in 1991. " He's like Haney with legs " Haney had nothing to gain by competing again, He bowed out in the best shape of his career and cemented his legacy. Smart man.

I believe that Haney weighed around 250 in 1991. 1992 probably would’ve been another Haney victory, if he had chosen to compete.


Haney could have easily shown up at the 1993 Mr Olympia at 255 or so, and pushed Dorian Yates to the limit. I think that Yates would’ve won... but Haney would’ve won some comparisons.


It would’ve been close.

Haney was 249lbs in 1991 and Dorian was 239lbs. In 1992 Dorian was 242lbs and not much different than 1991 that's why I feel Haney in 1991 form would probably beat him again. Haney competed at 257lbs in 1989 and admitted he was to heavy and his condition suffered for it. Dorian 1993 was 257lbs and shredded Haney wouldn't stand a chance even at his best in 1991 it wouldn't be close it would be a blow out just like it was in 1993 anyway.

Unless my memory is foggy, the ESPN video that I had of the 1991 Olympia had Haney at 241 and Yates at 239, approximately the same size. Haney certainly doesn't look ten pounds bigger than Yates in those pics.

Haney wouldn't have made more improvements. He was at his peak. Yates was a baby.

If Yates can put on more size at 28, why couldn't Haney have done the same at 31? Look at Ronnie Coleman. If you saw him in the early 90s, you would have NEVER thought he'd blow up to how he looked in the late 90s or early 2000s (especially 2003).

In Haney's book and from Flex , Muscle & Fitness and Musclemag they all listed his weight as 249lbs.

Haney was heavier in 1989 ( 257lbs ) and was admittedly to heavy and not ripped. Haney could come in heavier but could he come in heavier and still remain shredded? 1989 says otherwise.

Since he was at his all time best and it was close when Yates was just a pup, and Haney had sacrificed condition earlier in his career to add size, it doesn't seem like Haney would be anywhere near Yates.

Prime Coleman might not win in 93.

Call me naive but I don’t think Haney was willing to totally go “all-you-can-eat hormona buffet” like Yates.  So I’m not sure he was willing to do what it would take to stay ahead of—or even keep up with—Yates.

Regardless, Haney is the GOAT.  More titles, better looking physique, no torn body parts, no “controversial” showings.

If Haney pushed the envelope, he could’ve added 8 lbs of muscle and hit the stage at 256lbs... roughly same weight as Yates in 1993

And Haney would’ve crushed Wheeler and Levrone

Haney competed at 257lbs in 1989 and was admittedly off. I recall reading in the magazines back then that Flex could've probably beaten Haney if there was never a Yates, Would've been cool to see not sure if I'd agree with that

I think that Haney and Wheeler both had a hard time getting their hamstrings to be lean/dry.

That’s where a 100% Shawn Ray would have become dangerous.

Ok so a real version of Yates at his best beats a real version of Haney at his.

But the most dominant win in Olympia history might not have been if  a fictitious version of Haney showed up.

Wow  :o they both look great here

The large frames of Haney, Yates, Coleman is what really solidifies their position as better than the rest.    It’s one thing to look good standing by oneself but being dwarfed by another competitor of similar quality relegates you to a lower tier.

Mr Olympia is supposed to quality AND quantity, in my opinion

Wow  :o they both look great here

The large frames of Haney, Yates, Coleman is what really solidifies their position as better than the rest.    It’s one thing to look good standing by oneself but being dwarfed by another competitor of similar quality relegates you to a lower tier.

Mr Olympia is supposed to quality AND quantity, in my opinion

Absolutely

Yep, it's easy to compare still shots to make it look close but video doesn't lie.
