    Tough tinashi
    Tough tenacious man with a dogged determination and a very hard left hook.
    If he catches the muscle bound soft jawed AJ who know? Stranger things have happened

    I seriously doubt Jim Wicks would let Cooper anywhere near Joshua. He and Cooper seldom wanted to face the best Heavyweights in the world, particularly if they could punch. Cooper is one of the great institutions of British boxing and like a lot of others it took me a while to cotton on, but boy, his record flatters to deceive and the reasons he's remembered so fondly are a combination of that one (admittedly excellent) left hook against Ali and a whole lot of brilliant marketing.

    Joshua would have damn near taken his head clean off his shoulders.

    Cooper in my opinion would have a shot at beating AJ his left hook has that insurance on it.


    However AJ provides more than a left hook. Joshus is a better fighter all around .


    Cooper cant do what ruiz did because he lacks the speed. And mostly has power on the left hand itself. Whyte dazed joshua with a hook also but failed to follow up .

    You don't stop joshua with a single shot . you need several shots to put him down .


    Everyone calling AJ chinny but it took 4 knockdowns ans several follow up shots to make AJ quit.

    Cooper could daze AJ but fails to follow up.

    Meanwhile AJ would bring a highet iq and a better inside game than ali did .

    Poor old Joe Erskine. If he'd got royalties for that he'd have been a very wealthy man.

    I saw the Muhammad Ali vs Henry Cooper rematch on May 21 1966, on ABC's Wide World Of Sports, live. Ali cut him up pretty bad but was very wary of that left hook that decked him in their first fight in June 1963, before the first Liston fight. Cooper was a fine fighter and a fine man.

    Joe Erskine, third time they fought. Erskine had actually beaten Cooper twice before.

    They actually fought twice more after this as well, both stoppages for Cooper (putting him up 3-2 lifetime in their series) but those were both on cuts/facial damage. This was the only brutal KO in their rivalry.

    Joshua is simply too big for Cooper I don’t think it would go beyond 3 rounds.
    Henry wasn’t even that big a heavyweight for his era and obviously today he would be fighting as a cruiserweight. That said he was knocked out by several fighters of his era that would also be campaigning as cruiserweights today.
    Against today’s giants even the more limited ones he’d struggle.
