    Another fighter that could match Ali’s jab, very close fights before the cuts, an a straight forward ko in the first fight. A jab an a good left hook an it was game on, Ali would have his hands full

    Respect for Cooper, but in this particular match up he gets battered. AJ to hard a puncher and despite the Ruiz ko, also the better chin.
    Henry try s his best but falls short he'd be kod before his eyes have chance to bleed.
    AJ by 5 ko.

    I think the 70s version of Ali was more robust than the 60s one.

    I cannot imagine a 185lb man laying a scratch on these modern behemoths.

    Punchers chance. That same hook would have Joshua in la-la land.

    Cooper was tiny. He’s not beating any of those guys.

    No chance Coopers hook is harder than 240 lb Klitschko. AJ was eating them.

    Exactly. Anyone who thinks otherwise hasn’t got much common sense.

    Old man Klitschko never landed his hook clean with both feet planted. If he had Joshua would have been stretchered out.

    Clays chin in the 60’s was better than Joshua’s, in the 70’s also.

    He did in round 5. Landed at least 3 and one of them was completely flush.

    Great stuff here. Now make a video of Cooper getting KTFO by Uber Bacilierei (who started a car service afterwards), the legendary Peter Bates, the inimitable Joe Bygraves, who now resides in Valhalla along with Ingemar Johansson, Zora Folley, Ali (twice), and Patterson. Those were his KO losses, not included are his Decision losses!

    Just about all of them because he was a bleeder.
