    What weight does cooper come in? 170lbs or does he put on some beef and go for 185lbs?

    Lol of all of these fantasy threads this is the funniest match up so far.. cooper was dynamite in his prime wasn't called Henry's hammer for nothing killer left hand total respect old school legend!! Have to wonder if the size of a modern heavy would be to much of an ask. Think AG would get a lesson before he connected tho

    You would think Joshua...But they called Cooper Henry The Hammer Cooper for a reason and considering Joshua's suspect Chin Henry would have a real Punchers chance.!!!

    Depends on whether he was allowed to bring his hammer with him?

    Yeah, I mean, with 24 hr weigh ins Cooper could have fairly trivially easily made LHW, so Anthony Yarde would probably be the better pick if you were looking to compare Cooper with a modern Brit steroid user.

    Not a single soul on here will argue AJ has a better chin than Ali but little old 185lb Cooper flattened the near 20lb heavier Ali with a single left hook and had the bell and Dundee's corner shenanigans not come to Ali's rescue it would've unquestionably been lights out for him.

    So what do you think would happen if 185lb Cooper detonated that left hook of his on AJ's inferior mandible section?

    Cooper KO AJ

    Considering Cooper was a very small heavy, not even weighing as much as the average cruiser nowadays, no. He gets smashed to pieces again and again.

    Guys, size matters and past heavyweights are glorified cruisers for the most part. Cop on now and realise that Cooper wasn't nearly big or skilled enough. The best he has is a slim punchers chance assuming he can reach AJ.

    Only through size and reach Henry was a style of fighter you don't get these days!! That man had heart and was unbelievable awkward to fight not slating him at all infact he's my favourite British fighter if I'm honest because he was properly fearless. Like I said legend. Big size difference tho

    Good Lord ! Human sacrifice ! What are you trying to do to poor Henry ? He had a great left hand and was insanely brave but that's it.
    Floyd Patterson, Ingemar Johanssen, Zora Folley, Joe Bygraves all knocked him out. Not cuts but sparked him and that's just from memory. You want him to give 4 stone and 6 inches in height and reach to an Olympic and World Champion ? Have heart fella. What did Henry ever do to you ?
