    Clearly! Jerry Quarry would decimate Haye for example.

    Is this some sort of sick joke? What a wanker the op is.

    Havent read through the thread, but I'm sure Flea Man is splurtting absolute nonsense, and of course backing Cooper to beat Haye.

    Let's look at The Ring rankings from the 'Golden era' that can never be matched.


    The Ring ranking's. 1960
    Floyd Patterson, Champion
    Sonny Liston
    Ingemar Johansson
    Eddie Machen
    Zora Folley
    Henry Cooper
    Mike DeJohn
    Robert Cleroux
    Alex Miteff
    Dick Richardson
    Joe Erskine


    1961
    Floyd Patterson, Champion
    Sonny Liston
    Eddie Machen
    Zora Folley
    Alejandro Lavorante
    Robert Cleroux
    Ingemar Johansson
    Cleveland Williams
    Henry Cooper
    Cassius Clay
    George Logan

    1962
    Sonny Liston, Champion
    Floyd Patterson
    Cassius Clay
    Doug Jones
    Ingemar Johansson
    Zora Folley
    Cleveland Williams
    Robert Cleroux
    Billy Daniels
    Archie Moore
    Henry Cooper


    1970
    Joe Frazier, Champion
    Muhammad Ali
    George Foreman
    Oscar Bonavena
    Jerry Quarry
    Mac Foster

    Clearly back in the day during 'The golden era' Haye would have had zero chance of cracking the top 10.

    Flea man youre right.Apart from Ali,johannson and Patterson who Cooper lost to,he won and lost to Zora Folley,who imo was far better than Monte Barrett.David may have beaten Karl Mildenberger,but it wouldnt have been easy,and Henry wouldve been easily capable of winning the cruiserweight title
