    A few years back?Cant remember where,maybe Boxing monthly.If Naz was at his walking around weight in his prime(12-13 Stone)and Cooper prime too.
    The fantasy fights reminded me of this.
    I know its weird more than fantasy fight,but anybody agree with Buncey?

    Buncey is a big fan of Naseem Hamed, and would probably also say that the best version of The Prince would knockout the best version of Barrera.

    Poor old Henry would probably get stopped with cuts just climbing into the ring

    Naz was easy to hit at times. Coopers left hook was immensely powerful. Theres only one possible outcome.

    Cooper knocked Ali down heavily and had a load of good wins at Euro level at HW- yeh he'd struggle against a featherweight.

    Henry Castle perhaps, Henry Cooper no.

    I think the quote was something like " at his walking around weight of 12 stone I would pick naz to polaxe cooper "

    I dont think he was actually suggesting that in a proper match Naz could take him , more that Naz hit hard enough to drop a guy that size.

    It was a comment made ( if I recall ) about revisionist history and rose tinted hindsight ( how that for a mixed metaphor !! ) not a fantasy boxing prediction.
