    I kinda like Snipes to come thru, after being dropped himself by Bert.
    Both men would be a little banged up around the mush too.
    I'll go Snipes wko Cooper 7.

    Battle of the fringe contenders! I'll take Snipes via a late-round TKO.

    What a great matchup. I want to vote for Bert. But, am unsure who makes it to the finish line in this matchup. It would be an exciting brawl regardless.

    I think Cooper had more grit than Snipes, but I don't think there's a definite answer to this one. Pretty close affair I think with both down going down. @Richard M Murrieta.

    Bert looks good early and Snipes comes on late for a close decision win, 96-94

    Cooper at his best would give Snipes hell, might TKO him too

    The best version of Cooper would beat the best version of Snipes.

    Pretty sure of that. Bert was more skilled, hit harder and in his early days showed an immense amount of grit.

    In reality the chances are that a lackadaisical version of Cooper would meet a good version of Snipes, who always seemed fired up. In that one I might lean towards Snipes. If Cooper didn't get his guy out early he tended to fold mentally in much of his career.

    Snipes by 9th round TKO, but it would be a battle for 5,6 rounds.
