**** sake. He's only 53. God damn it Bert was always inspirational to watch. I'll always remember that FIGHT with Holyfield. Legendary.
Pancreatic cancer is bad, but some can do ok for a long time if the tumors can be controlled or localized, which is difficult since to get an image of the pancreas, you need to go into the stomach I think and most images are done after symptoms come up.Hopefully they caught it early and can focus on the tumor. He is young, so all the best to him. We all fear these things happening to people we know or ourselves. No one is immune to cancer. It is a scary thing.
An entertaining type of guy, and wild card who could pull off some good performances. He will be remembered by the hardcore fans whenever his time comes. Best of luck to Smokin' Bert Cooper as he faces his toughest opponent.
Ahhh that's bad news.Some of my most entertaining heavyweight fight s of the 90 s involved Bert . Cancers a ***** ..
Sorry to read of his passing. I thought I would bump as this thread as it has some nice fights of his.
