    Holyfield only had 1 pro fight at light heavyweight so I wouldn't classify him as such.

    My mistake, I thought I'd heard he was a light-heavyweight champion, but I guess he was a cruiserweight titleholder for a while.

    Michael Spinksy jinxys unique style, that would have Cooper frustrated and hurt.
    He'd cut up Enery s face imo.

    Good list. All beat Henry bar Rosenbloom and Pastrano.
    Foster knocks him out. Battle of the left hooks.

    Many in my opinion at Lt.heavy.
    J.Bivins, J.Maxim, L.Marshall, B.Conn, A. Moore, H.Johnson, J.Torres, B.Foster, M.Spinks, V.Hill. RJJ. D. Qawi, J.Toney, T.Hearns , D.Tiger both the Muhammeds ( Matthew Saad and Eddie Mustafa)
    Now of course , Cooper could ko almost all the fighters I wrote with the exception of Toney , if he he landed that left hook cleanly. but unlike a young Ali, none of the fighters I mentioned would try and carry Cooper to a predicted round.
    So they would be deadly serious.

    Ok so he was only 1lb over the light heavyweight limit and while I don’t know the details of the DQ he still got the win.

    I guess Cooper wasn't unbeatable to light heavyweights like Mike Tyson was.
