    Assuming best versions of both, I go with Bert. Too much smoke at his best. Don't forget he had Holyfield reeling

    I think Bert would win in a great slugfest but he would close out Henry pretty quickly, I'm afraid.

    ‘Ard one to call Guvnors, but I’d have to favour ‘Ert over ‘Enry - but ONLY by a shockingly ripped open eye.

    Never mind the bollocks and all that, when picking winners, you gotta go with with ya ‘ed not yer ‘art.

    ‘Enry does ‘ave a good bleedin’ chance here - but that is, in fact, the very problem.

    Without the rice paper skin and enviable, model worthy, prominent cheekbone structure, ‘Enry would’ve been World Champ.
