norton vs henry cooper....

Henry gets cut up,knocked out or both. No contest.

 

I think this is a closer one - kenny shades it but think it depends how henry approaches the fight - he should give it all he's got and try to hurt norton as quickly as he can - if he can get nortons respect then could be interesting for a bit -but reality says norton is world class and cooper was really only British class

 

Norton would have been too powerful for Henry.

 

true:good and i'm not giving cooper any of my blood either

 

Norton dominates him...cuts him and stops him in 3.

 

Shommel strikes again.

 

:good:good

 

first shot that hits cooper flush cooper is knocked out cold:think

 

With all respect to our 'Enry, this might not be too far off the truth - if Norton came out like he did against Bobick.

Cooper did have a terrific left hook, but not the power of a Foreman or Shavers. I've always felt Norton gets somewhat harshly treated with this "he didn't like punchers" argument. I think the post-Holmes Norton was over the top - I think Shavers caught him when he was definitely in decline. Foreman crushed Smokin' Joe too, don't forget.

Norton was a beast of a man in comparison to Cooper - Norton in under under 6 rounds, but it could go very early indeed.

 

Norton is too big and strong for Cooper. If you could not push Norton onto his back foot, he gained momentum, and you were in trouble, Cooper was kod by Patterson, and Folley . Norton hit as hard as either imo. Henry would not be able to keep him off, and would be stopped inside 6 rds.

 

Norton grinds down Cooper and eventually stops him. There might be a moment in it where Cooper stuns Norton with the left hook though.

 

Cooper had a nice left hook for sure but Norton pretty much outmatches Cooper in every other area (except power)

Norton probably stops him and cuts him up within 5 rounds.

 

I'm going with Kenny's body punches.
Henry didn't handle them well.
3rd Round Knock-out.

 

Norton smashes him.

A faded Quarry was as good as Henry ever was. :scaredas:
