    R.I.P. Henry. Joe Erskine probably had a sore back for a year after that ko you gave him.

    He'll be missed. He was brave, powerful, had underrated skills as he showed against Bugner, and best of all he was the perfect model of a good sportsman out of the ring.

    All rather innocent, when you look back at it. It was a better time in that sense and Cooper was a better kind of sportsman: dignified, friendly, normal and with all the ego of a deacon.

    That's really weird. Ali had a longer career then Henry and had took more punishment through his career then Henry: yet he still outlasted him, even with the horrible illness Ali has to endure.

    Cooper was a little older and he was in full health in recent years.
