    Bert Cooper a student of Joe Frazier's gym how does he perform against Mike Tyson when conditioned, disciplined and fully focused. Bert Cooper had his issues with alcohol , substance abuse and women and was overlooked overall as a serious competitor, how do you think he would have acquitted himself against Mike Tyson?

    Not very well tbh. It would make for a few exciting rounds but Mike has the chin to hold up to Bert's power and is the all around better fighter.

    I think Cooper does better than people think. At his best he was hell of determined, durable and with a big punch. Of course you'd favour Tyson but Bert also has a chance.

    Let's remember this fight:

    Tyson stops him in around 3, but would love to have seen it.
