its funny how time distorts memory.
like the SR v LL thread recently.
anyone around at the time would answer the same...LL.
and now this? Bertil looked huge and dense in some gym pics when lighting was right and he was pumped and so on and so on.
there were some guys around at that time that had better packages than Bertil. He wasnt considered a ''top contender'' at the time, because, well, he wasnt.
now its arguable that he mightve been 2nd at the 83 O. personally i dont think so, but 5th might have been a bit harsh.
samir won it though, no question. blew everyone away with his conditioning.
at that time all BBs had weaknesses. in the pics you see BB's strengths. Bertail had great strengths.
but he had glaring weaknesses.
