Thats too bad. What little I saw of him, he seemed to be an engaging friendly man. He was a self professed royalist as well.
Only man to knockout Muhammad Ali.
Essentially had Ali knocked out and Dundee had to rip open Ali's glove delaying the fight and giving Ali about 10 to 15 minutes to recover.
Of course since then they've edited the footage so it appears like it took only a minute.![]()
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"

R.I.P Henry Cooper his story of knocking down Muhammad Ali, was one of the first boxing stories i learned of, and it really got me interested in looking up boxing.
By the way he should of got DQ win over Muhammad Ali, because smelling salts were not allowed in UK at that time i heard, dunno if its true or not. Perhaps one of the old timers will know.
Here's Muhammad Ali on Sir Henry Cooper's passing...
"I will miss my ole friend, Henry Cooper"
Read the rest of the write-up from Gareth Davis:
Muhummad Ali: "I will miss my ole friend, Henry Cooper" – Telegraph Blogs
R.I.P sir Henry Cooper you were a great man and a true British legend.
When I was about 10 or 11 years old I was in the library looking for books on boxing and came across Henry Cooper's "How To..." book. It has been at least 35 years and my left hook is still my best punch and I did the exercises he showed in the book almost daily for probably a quarter century.
Sad news to hear after i came back from a brief holiday.R.I.P Henry Cooper,British legend!!![]()
