Bunce on Cooper

This is a traditional bash Bunce at the first opp thread. Crap one at that!!!

 

Can't see much wrong with it tbh, seems quite insightful actually.

So what if Cooper was bitter towards Bugner doesn't make him a bad person.

 

RIP Our 'Enry you will always be a hero in my eyes:-(

 

Steve has made a valid point, Henry is a legend, but like all hero's he had his faults. A few weeks ago in boxing news there was a write up about Henry continued to ignore Harry Gibbs, I think he only shook his hand many many years later at a charity night. The interview with Bugner you can sense the bad vibe, Joe seems very approachable to Henry, goes to give a hug but you can tell Henry is defensive and the interview fails to flow and Steve has his work cut out. Also when Bruno won the title Henry prefered to complain about the length of the ring walks then to give Frank a bit of praise.
Even so Henry was a top guy, I met him at Ringside when i was about 18, very approachable and happy to chat, you can sense from the interview with Steve regarding Bugner/ gibbs etc that he could be a bit stubborn which for a boxer isnt such a bad quality and perhaps he woudlnt of been such a hero if he wasn't?
Rest in peace Sir Henry - a true legend in British Boxing

 

Honest personal opinion isn't disgraceful

 

I can see both sides. We shouldn't sweep Henry's faults under the carpet but, equally, the first days after a person has died is not the right time to go harping about them. It's about respect.

 

Great comment right here mate, although i dont think Buncey is in the wrong here, the timing isnt right when people are still upset and sensitive on the issue like TC. A great fella and should be remembered for all his good points, rather then his bad ones.
