    Let's say the David Bey who beat Greg Page vs the Bert Cooper who fought Holyfield in 1991. Two limited guys but ones who could crack and occasionally upset a decent opponent. Bey had the size, Cooper had the tenacity. Schedule this for 10 rounds.. I think Bert wins but I can see a pretty competitive fight.. The kind that fans would be entertained by.

    Entertaining slugfest. As long as Bert was in good shape like he was for the Mercer fight (He was not in perfect shape for Holyfield and took that fight on 2 weeks notice), I would look for him to outpoint Bey in a competitive s****.

    Goooo Cooper! I'd be cheering for him, but David Bey was no pushover. Awkward style, durable, useful punch. I think Cooper could do it so long as he didn't implode mentally. For the record, I think the Mercer fight wrecked Cooper ... man did those two beat the living shyte out of each other.

    Bey wasn't bad actually. I like Cooper here though, provided he's up for it.

    Bey was lucky to beat Page, but, in this case, I think his aggressiveness won't save him against Cooper. Bert by 8th round kayo.

    I go with Cooper. Bert was a really good fighter, he just didn't keep his head screwed on straight.
