    One was famous for knocking down iron chinned Ali an maybe had Ali the most hurt he had ever been by one single punch an the other one scored the first official knockdown over iron chinned Holyfield but who wins a shootout between the 2 Coopers?

    I think Bert had a bit more power and durability than Henry. I’m just not sure how Henry would respond to Bert swarming inside style. Has he fought anyone similar ?

    I do know that Ingo kayoed Henry Cooper in six rounds in 1957, then Floyd Patterson kayoed Cooper in the same round as Ingo on Sept 20 1966.

    I think Bert punches too hard for Henry, and although Bert wasn’t a big heavyweight for his day he was bigger and more powerful than Henry.
    Bert inside 5 rounds.
