    Simple question really, just want to gauge this with a poll. Very close fight this if you ask me, both men feared no one and faced anybody, sometimes on a matter of weeks notice! Both just who would win this one over 12 rounds? This is very tight to call if you ask me, it really could go either way. One things for sure anyway, if Cooper doesn't get cut this one certainly goes the distance.

    Henry the face of Brute aftershave, notably Coop was also the face of Shreddies, a popular English fibre based cereal.

    Sprott who was in his spare time a mechanic.

    Here Sprott stuns the World by KOing the Olympic super heavyweight champion who weighed a whopping 18 stone plus.

    Here is a famous snap of Coop on his way to his stunning victory over the brave Brian London.

    Wasn't Cooper the face of Shredded Wheat and not Shreddies? Such lack of attention to detail. :-(

    To answer your question though, I'd go with Cooper despite not watching a great deal of him.

    one put audley on his arse
    one put clay on his arse


    you could argue one has a glass chin and one was a legend so doing anything of note is praise worth enuff, il taken 'enry by KO

    Cooper. He had Clay out for the count until Dundee brought him 10 minutes in between rounds by slitting his gloves ;)
