The battle of the Smokins': Joe Fraizer vs Bert Cooper

Bert's problem is that he ran out of ideas once the other guy didn't fall and started punching back. I specifically remember the Sanders fight where Bert was actually doing OK (though not winning) and in the third Sanders let rip with a series of rapid fire combinations that dropped Cooper. After than Bert actually turned his back and ran off, when the going got tough.

The going would get very tough with Frazier.

Bert has the physical tools and the skills to possibly pull it off, but I don't see him toughing it out against Frazier if you gave him 10 tries.

Ok, maybe one version of Cooper might have a chance - the one that went to war with Mercer and turned Ray's face into a halloween mask. I never saw him dig that deep again.

 

The Original beats the poor mans Frazier by late stoppage

 

Bert would come off worse here. Not for want of trying ,but Joe just to hot for him .Joe Frazier by 8 rounds tko

 

Obviously I love Smokin' Bert. But, Smokin' Joe punishes Bert, and wins by stoppage.

 

Bert was a dangerous guy with vicious offense and a mean streak a mile wide, but had deficits in courage and conditioning, and those were two of Joe's best attributes.

 

Bert cooper was good against unkowns, anybody that could fight back beat him, he did put up a spirited performance against holyfield I'll give him that, but Frazier was the perfect combination between a prize fighter and a animal, Frazier knocks him out round 3. At best cooper lasts to round 4 but Frazier was a superior boxer or brawler

 

Joe beats the imitation of himself.

 

Could Cooper hit hard enough to hurt or drop Frazier?

 

If he could drop Holyfield he could drop Frazier with a good shot

 

Waste of bandwidth this one.

 

Still a waste of time and space.

Actually Baer vs Tyson is MUCH more credible.
