    Great fight for sure. I would favor Lyle as he was the more proven contender but Burt would give him hell

    Lyle is not Foreman but Cooper is not Frazier!
    Style make fights and it would be like weak Foreman version vs weak Frazier with same outcome!

    Lyle clearly for me. Bigger and badder.

    Currently reading Lyle`s autobiography so it has to be him by knockout

    Cooper was nothing more than a very brave and tough journeyman. He never proved that he was capable of beating top contenders.

    Hate to say that, but it's true. Cooper was exciting to watch and he'd never disappoint in fight but he didn't beat anyone notable.

    Well, he did beat Tillman, who was definitely rated at one point. He also beat Hipp who gave Morrison a run for his money. I appreciate I'm massively scraping the bottom of the barrel.

    I love Bert man. He's in some of my favourite heavyweight fights, and has a real hectic lifestyle.

    A fun but sloppy slugfest for the 2-3 rounds it lasts before Lyle knocks Cooper out.
