I don't think he's necessarily UNDERRATED, because I've heard a lot of pros mention him as one of their influences and idols, and he's also been recognized by the IFBB and the Arnold Classic. So he's gotten his due.
I just think that he's a GENTLEMAN, a great family man who just goes about his business and helping others and doesn't find himself in the middle of controversy and trouble. He lives a very straight life.
Also, you've got to realize the guy retired with 8 Olympias 21 years ago, when he was only 31 YEARS OLD. That is CRAZY."You can always do what you have set your mind to do if you don't allow Fear and Discouragement to stop you. People say that Faith is the absence of Fear. But I believe that Faith is the presence of Courage in the face of Fear and Failure".

The very essence of being underrated is that it is a _relative_ evaluation . You can be underrated at many levels, and I actually tend to agree that Lee is sort of overlooked in the grand scheme of things. To illustrate this, back when I started training I knew about Arnold (obviously), Ronnie, Yates, Levrone and even Zane, Platz and Mentzer long before I heard Haney mentioned.

x2. He wasn't underrated by judges, but by *younger* bodybuilding fans, he does seem to be. Just think of how many threads get started about legendary Olympia winners, Ronnie and Dorian always get mentioned but Lee doesn't get mentioned as much....so I always make sure to be one of the folks that does mention him
Imo, he's the epitome of what bodybuilding is about. Before Dexter won, Lee was the last person to have the right combo of size, conditioning, and proportions, at least imo. His physique was as close to perfection as one can get.

I think he gets overlooked a lot due to lack of a standout body part and the fact that he was around in a relatively boring period for bodybuilding, he pretty much dominated unopposed, if he had crazy arms or if Mendenhall had turned pro and battled him for the title every year we'd talk about him a lot more
