    Two undersized, not-very-resilient heavyweights with speed and power.

    You watch film of them they were both very good, and each nailed a few bigger guys. For me, I like Cooper KO-6.

    But Satterfield is a live dog.

    At a London Venue, Empire Pool or Royal Albert Hall, i think Henry would be a definite favourite, the support may of got to Bob (?) of course henry was not infallible on home turf as the crafty Amos Johnson showed, But Bob is not that cagey, and his danger level is probably on a meter on this one, Henry on the other hand is not solely dependant on 'Henry's Hammer' - he has that 'Postman's Knock' Jab and Double Jab to keep Bob quelled, and to chip away at his resolve, If Henry plays the patient game, similar to the way he Handled Basque Puncher Jose Urtain then Henry has the capability to pull off the Win, Of Course once the Jab has done the softening up.. Henry's Hammer may bring things to a Close... circa 7th

    Good response. You should write more, you have a good literary flow.

    This is obviously a whoever lands first wins fight. I don't like to be a wimp, but it looks like an utter toss-up to me. Neither man could be expected to survive the other's punch.

    Hi Slender4 - Thanks very much for the comp - I hope i never stray too far from the plausible. I always thought that you do not necessarily need great fighters to make an intriguing match. Bob and Henry would certainly of been a "Do Not Blink" Affair.
