    I remember Jim Wickes when asked if he would let Henry box Liston , his reply I wouldnt put him in the same Town never mind the same ring.

    I don't think Cooper was unlucky ..... the fight he knocked Clay down in was not a world title fight. When they did fight for the title, Ali easily cut him to pieces.

    Outside of Ali, Cooper would have had to compete with Patterson, Liston or Frazier and he would not have defeated those guys in a month of Sundays ... in fact, I think an old, over the hill Floyd knocked Henry cold.

    Cooper was a good European heavyweight, he banged hard with the left hook, and he has done well for himself since then by being the guy who knocked Clay down, but to call him anything like at all-time great (or even a world champion) is pushing it a bit, to be honest.

    Lucky you, any chance of a comeback.
