I was talking about this with a freind a few nights ago. One hell of a left hand.Seen cooper in the sun a week ago or so.Making peace with Joe Bugner.

I love the story that Cooper would have beat him aswell,Have the fight on DVD my mate was all like "Ive watched the fight he has a 5 minute break!"

Just laughed in his face its 5 seconds extra on the end of the round. But that's all it took.

I think Clay/Ali showed he could ride out a storm and even if the punch had landed earler in the round Clay would have survived and stopped Cooper in round 5 just he said he would.

I have heard him say he could have been champion but with all due respect to him he would have got slaughtered by Liston and Ali did him a favour.

Never crossed my mind that...fuk. Liston would have hurt him bad lol

IMO it would not have really changed much...just a minor set back for Clay/Ali at the time would have been all...That man was destined to be who he was...I mean you have to really think about him as a whole....Ali was bigger then boxing.....Besides like it was already said...Liston would have murdered poor Henry
