    Henry Cooper's was not too shabby, he decked a pre title Muhammad Ali on June 18 1963, before he was stopped in round 5, due to cuts.

    I love Whyte, but c'mon, one dropped Joe Parker, the other dropped Muhammad Ali.

    No brainer really.

    Whyte doesn’t even come close to the Duke let alone Frazier

    Cooper's left hook was a thing of beauty. Henry wasn't a great Fighter by any means but if I was shopping for a left hook that's the one I'd buy.

    With his weight and physical bulk behind it Whyte's hook might be harder but it's not exactly lightning quick is it ?
    The whip and the snap of Frazier's left hook would inflict a lot more discomfort than Whyte's. Joe was also brilliant at bringing it in from outside his opponent's eyeline. Nightmare.
