Samir Bannout the year he won the Olympia.
Many probably aren't old enough to remember Lee Haney!!! Shawn Ray once said after the O... it looked like he had on a space pack. Said when he stripped down, he knew the battle was for 2nd place.
i'm surprised i'm not seeing much love for Haney in this thread. Before Ronnie & Dorian, I'd go with Haney & Samir as having two of the best backs before the mass monsters came along. Another great back not mentioned yet was Brian Buchanan (competed in the 80's out of England).
