Henry Cooper V Audley Harrison

Coopers KD of Ali is probably better than anything Audley ever did

Johnny Prescott wasn't a huge heavyweight,nowhere near Audley's size,probably 180 odd pounds.

 

Outside of the possibility that Henry Cooper loses on cuts (something that only happened against Ali in the last 12 or 13 years of his career but happened against a few fighters in his early days ) I cannot see any way Audley can win.

A good big 'un beats a good little 'un but Audley Harrison wasn't good.

 

I agree, I just don't think coopers skill advantage is enough to offset harrisons size advantage.

 

if its the audley and henry of today than it is a pick em fight..since henry has been dead for awhile. but prime Henry wins one for the old school

 

Our Enery knocks the big oaf out.

 

Henry Cooper might have been the better fighter in certain aspects but I don’t know if he could take many punches from Harrison. For all his shortcomings, Audley was a big man and one who could hit hard. It should also be noted that he had a rather late start in the pros, possibly leading to why he had such a swift decline

 

How much chance would you give Audley Harrison against Joe Bugner?

If the answer is not very much, then you probably shouldn't be picking him over Cooper.

 

Why ?

 

A past prime Cooper took Bugner to the brink.

 

But what stylistic attributes do you see that would make this a good comparison

 

Just on the basis of how badly, in general, Harrison performed, I'd have to back Cooper.

Success in this one is not beyond Audley but I wouldn't put my faith in or a bet on him.
