    Could 'Enery compete or would he be crushed early?

    Lennox Lewis wins this anytime.

    Cooper too small and too easy to cut.

    Enery knocks him out easily. After all he KO'd the superhuman Clay but for the cut glove that took 15 minutes to replace, blah, blah, blah.:roll::roll:


    YAWN.

    Just thought I'd throw some random names from former greats' records and pit them against other greats in an attempt to disparage them.

    Cooper is a great? Anyway, he has nothing for Lewis.

    Yeah, I made a mistake there, Cooper was decent, not great. I agree Lewis would hammer Cooper.

    I'm doing what you do with Marciano every day; pointing out faults in a champion's reign. Why should Ali, Dempsey and Lewis be exempt?

    Cooper starts bleeding profusely on his walk to the ring. The fight gets stopped during the prefight instructions, because Cooper is a bloody mess, unless Ian John Lewis is the referee..........

    With Lennox's power, height, reach and jab, I would fear for Enry in this one. But in the 90s, he would have been a cruiser.

    Lennox Lewis didn't have a bad chin, he just had the bad luck of being caught by the only two punches thrown in history that could knock him out.

    Henry Cooper was never stopped because of cuts, he was stopped because the blood gushing from the cuts prevented him from seeing and put him at an unfair disadvantage.
