    Cooper was too skinny, Tyson would blow him out easily.

    Was Tyson in his prime against Lewis ? I don't know only very tall fighter who was a really problem for the
    young Tyson.

    Boston Tom McMustache fought a top-secret exhibition in 1911 against Texas Pete Carolina. Does he count?
