LOL, that is myth that Sir 'enry has been spinning for years. Coopers main problem was he kept getting outpointed and knocked out...

Post 1956 Cooper lost 11 fights:

4 times he was knocked out
Once he was Dq'd*
4 times he lost on points

It was only the Ali/Clay fights that finished with him losing on cuts.

*To be fair to Sir 'enry, he was Dq'd for the crime of pounding the crap out of the local prospect in Frankfurt (West) Germany
