no way should waller have won. either the australian or the welsh guy (from memory).
Agreed about Walker, he was better than Waller, with equal balance and more size. Even Waller's strong point legs Walker was better; you can see that for just a second in the movie even though Grant and Walker are ignored.
Waller like Columbu benefitted big-time by being one of the Weider boys and from his nationality. I was backstage beside Walker the following year when he won, he was huge like a noseguard. Waller was a lot more balanced than Katz but the main thing was he was one of the Weider boys, which allowed him to win sometimes when otherwise he wouldn't have.
Paul Grant was good too, in some areas better than Waller but didn't have quite the overall balance.
