    Don Cockell would lose to all ten.

    This all reads like fan fiction, comparing any version of Holyfield, or a prime Cooper, to Cockell is hilarious. Have you watched film of Don lately?

    Akinwande would manhandle Tiny Don into a stoppage. Hide was chinny against guys named Riddick Bowe and Vitali Klitchko not fat midgets. He also hit like a TON OF BRICKS. That is an early stoppage.

    Butler, in fine form, existed briefly. In that time he beat serviceable versions of Bonecrusher and Tubbs. That is more than enough to take care of Cockell.

    Seamus sounds jealous of the hearty breakfasts that Cockell had ... and there were many of those.
