Cassius Clay vs. Brian London ~ 'The Fastest Hands Ever Seen'

[Bill Paxtom]

London was not as good as Henry Cooper.

People say that Brian London was 'Third-Rate'. But I'll tell you something. He was a lot tougher
than Henry Cooper. A lot tougher.

Henry was a better boxer, but London was a tougher guy to fight. He was both awkward and
rough. A real tough Brit, who threw punches with elbows and forearms, head-butts and all that
Jazz.

Henry was just too fragile. He could be taken apart by any good fighter with a half-way decent punch.
