Bert Cooper of the Evander Holyfield fight vs Anthony Joshua. Who you got?

Bert stops AJ. Dude was tough as nails.

 

Smoking Bert via TKO!

 

Smokin Bert does a Ruiz.

 

Joshua, Bert finds a way to lose

 

Joshua stops him. Too much range/reach and hits too hard. Cooper was tough yes but his main claim to fame is his good effort against Holyfield. That’s about it.

He just basically quit against Foreman and was pretty chinny himself.

 

It's an even money fight.... I side with above and say Bert finds a way to lose. But so could AJ haha

 

Cooper more than likely loses but goes down swinging in a fun fight. Maybe he catches AJ like Ruiz did but I wouldn't bet on it

 

Just about any world class heavy beats Joshua at this point.

 

No way the poll is tied. I actually like Bert a lot, but he was a drug addict journeyman his entire career. He was getting beat up the entire Holyfield fight, even in round 3 when he scored the kd he was getting tagged a lot. Prior to the Holyfield bout he got beat up bad against Bowe, quit early against Foreman, lost a decision to Mercer, lost another decision to a journeyman, beat up by Williams, and was knocked out by Gross. The Holyfield version was actually worse than the others since he was already heavy into drugs. I don’t even think he would get past Charles Martin.

 

Joshua gets a lot of unjustified hate on this forum

 

AJ

 

Joshua would win. Cooper’s performance against Holyfield while impressive for a late replacement gets overrated. He only had a few good moments.
