    Ernie Terrell vs Henry Cooper, Both Prime. Who wins this fantasy match? Terrell has the size and left jab, Cooper has the left hook.

    Terrell, who was a good fighter, wins a decision. I like Cooper too, but he wasn’t world-class.

    If you watch peak Terrell against Jones, Chuvalo and Williams, you will see an outstanding jab, I've got to give him that. Aside from that he had a fairly good set of whiskers and at 6'6" I just can't see Cooper not getting cut up by that jab. Terrell on a TKO before the 10th.

    Henry cooper was a very good fighter whom I respect. But I’m wondering if Ernie Terrell might be a bridge too far for him to cross.
