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 S***, 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.
I guess the addictions could mess with your will and the 'Warrior Mentality"
