    i have to ask first: are you taking the ****? cause we could always use a good troll but i just like to know what i'm getting into

    in response to your question: yes, i like cooper as a gentleman more than as a fighter. he was a solid heavy with a giant left but frankly undersized and understrengthed. as a cruiserweight, he would have been tremendous
     
  2. I completely lost u. at any w8, Cooper wud make ripples and waves. A top 10 heavy imo

    top 10 in what sense? top 10 british heavies of the 60s? for sure
     
  4. Maybe,
    I got carried away.

    cooper, a top 20 hvy alltime,
    with a hook an technical skill,
    he was almost unstoppable in the "prime".
    a hook harder then Frazier.

    Susan George was better as 'Dingleberry' in 'Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry'

    Bad teeth though,,,,,,,:lol:


    Larry Holmes was undefeated for 12 1/2 years, before his controversial loss to Michael Spinks.

    Muhammad Ali's run was less, and he the advantage of a 3 1/2 year break.

    IL D. it wasnt her teeth i was looking at


    And so what if Alis run was less than Holmes? So was johnson,dempsey and Louis's.What does that prove? Likewise i could say Holmes 12 1/2 yr undefeated streak is less than SNValuev, whose streak was 13 1/2 yrs undefeated. They have got one thing in common over Ali, neither were undisputed champ:D:D

    Robinson's hair was a reminder that he could indeed become a savage at a moment's notice in any fight. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

    Until now I've never seen Marilyn Monroe and George Chuvalo mentioned in the same sentence...Fascinating!
