Great Heavyweight Slugfest Brought to you by Bert Cooper
Tell you what this guy was an underachiever his whole career and could never get his head right to put it all together, instead he was nothing more than a laboring journeyman. He had the Body, Power and old school appeal to be something special in an era that was star studded he was exciting in glimpses but never could forge his way
Enjoy this fight against Michael Moorer he lost but showed flashes of dominance, I felt the officiating in the 1st round was dodgy but all in all a good ol fashion shoot out

Re: Great Heavyweight Slugfest Brought to you by Bert Cooper
I was always a fan of Cooper...I agree he could have been a whole lot more then what he was...,.I think there were some outside personal problems in his life and some drug problems that caused his lack of achievement
Re: Great Heavyweight Slugfest Brought to you by Bert Cooper

Yep I heard the same thing about the drugs.... Early on he was under the tutealige of Joe Frazier and showed tremendous appeal.. He kind of reminded me of pro wrestling from yesteryear that would always have the popular fall guy that would be so close to beating the top guy and then lose last minute :-\

CC # 711 nice thread , Cooper was exciting . he is a nice friendly likeable guy. and hit like a truck.
Cooper had the heart , his problem was the battle with drugs . I remember watching a rare video CBS Broadcast of Coopers fight with Ray Mercer, my opinion it was both fighters best best performance .. Mercer came in at about 222 lbs, Cooper was at 217lbs . the work rate was explosive. round one Mercer floors Cooper. Cooper gets up and lets his hands go... somewhere in about round 6 or 7 Cooper breaks Mercer's jaw, it swells up like a squirrel carrying a nut. Mercer fights right through that shit, like nothing happened.. both men took and gave more punches then today’s young HW lot , have ever dreamed.
If you can get a copy of that match , its well worth the watch. it will make you hate the state of today’s young crop of un schooled heavyweights.

Damn I remember that fight....Hell that must have been almost 20 years ago....Yeah man Mercer proved how tough he was that night...Cooper sure did hit hard.....He gave Holyfield all he could handle about a year or two later before getting TKO'd and that was a prime Holyfield.....Not too long after Bert started his downward spiral.....CC for the trip to the past.......Amazing how many fights you forget until the tiopic is brought up

Ain't that the truth....A young Mercer would give these guys today fits.....I would put cooper as the favorite against Imbragimov,, Lychovich or Ruslan.....Yeah they were part of the last of the tough guy era.....Though I do think Ray held the WBO belt before it was considered anything of worth
