A meet up I'd like to have seen .Cobb with Chin of rock facing Cooper the first man to drop Holy field ? Ten round s
If Cooper was in shape he could win as he was much more talented .. other than that Cobb wears him down ..
Cooper wallups Cobb for 4 rds, Then he tires. Its an even fight mid rounds, with Cobb coming on late and nearly finishing the exhausted Cooper. Cooper wins a SD because of the early points lead,and the public demands a rematch as Cooper looks wilted and bloody at the end with a surging Cobb nearly finishing Bert at the bell.
I see prime Cobb wearing him down he was big and strong and just crowded and pursued all night and Cooper was not much of a stick and move guy he doesn't win a fight of attrition in the phone booth fights Cobb excelled in.
Ray Mercer said Cooper was his toughest opponent. This version of Cooper in shape would be a brutal war with Cobb. Bert Cooper on pts.
Yep that version of smokes was going all out to win .He'd push Cobb to the limits and get a decision win I'd think.
Depends, is this the cruiserweight Cooper who was quite polished at times, with a hard right hand to compliment his nuclear left hook or the bloated up Cooper with nearly 30 unnecessary pounds and upwards?
Ballooned his face up. And since Mercer was a pretty good boxer, I'd favor Bert (slightly) Mercer won because he had to box, whereas I'm not sure if Cooper would try or just brawl. Tex wouldn't get stopped is the only thing I can say for certain. Great mythical matchup!
