    After the knockdown, Dundee decides Ali cannot continue. How does this change history? Cooper gets his shot at Liston, how does he do? Does a at the time Cassius Clay come back from this?

    In fact:

    Ali lost to Henry Cooper by DQ.
    Ali lost to Doug Jones by UD.
    Ali lost to Ken Norton x3 by UD.

    Cooper said that his managers didn`t want him to go anywhere near Liston, he would have been destroyed.

    Nah, no way would Liston have been destroyed. Just because Cooper had Clay out on his feet with one punch don't mean his punch would have the same effect on Liston.

    well, if the same bribe and same neer do wells approached Liston....one can assume he would take the same bribe. Therefore, Cooper would throw a very light punch and ko Liston. Therefore, Cooper would have been champion of the world.

    Ali defeated Henry Cooper the glove situation is bs imo.
    Ali defeated Doug Jones by UD (you could make a case for Ali 7-3 imo)
    Ali defeated Norton in the 2nd imo.
    You could score the 3rd fight in Norton's favor.
