How would Henry Cooper have done vs...
Rocky Marciano
Jack Dempsey
Bob Foster
Michael Spinks
I'm just wondering. He would no doubt be elated with British boxing today, lots of bright stars and young talent.

Cooper would have lost to all of them at their best weights. Cooper had a monster left hook but he was easily cut and knocked out by the best fighters.Originally Posted by El Kabong

Cooper was regularly knocked out by the top fighters and these guys were top fighters.Cooper would have lost to all of them at their best weights. Cooper had a monster left hook but he was easily cut and knocked out by the best fighters.

Cooper may have had a chance if he was heavyweight the Foster and Spinks were light heavyweight but even then I think he may lose.

Re: Could Henry Cooper have fought at LHW?
Lets be fair Cooper was pretty average, never beat a decent Yank, a bit like our other favourite Billy Walker. Both lovely blokes who made a good living out of boxing, good luck to them.
Neither was in the same street as John Conteh or Joe Bugner ability wise. This may be a controversial statement to the rose tinted glasses merchants, but I think its fair.
The best recent heavyweights we have had are LEWIS, HAYE, PIKEY and maybe JOSHUA.
Ha ha.

Re: Could Henry Cooper have fought at LHW?
I saw both fights he had with Ali and what I saw was Cooper was a good boxer but his disposition was too easy and to be a good boxer let alone an all time great you have to have a good portion of the beastly side of man's best friend. You can't be tardy with a Pit Bull's dinner.
