    Two powerful but underachieving heavyweights. Who wins this one? I lean toward Butler.

    Interesting fight! Cooper before 93 should be the favourite, from 93 and later I'd pick Butler

    Strangly enough both these guys had matches on and off again until just a few recent years ago... Butler even stepped in there with heavyweight prospect Fedosov when he was on the way up. Their uh... "longevity" is amazing to be honest.

    Cooper was better than Butler. Not by much but he was
