    Foreman would have smashed him to pieces.
    Tubbs would look cute for maybe 3 to 5 minutes, then George would herd him into the ropes and get him out of there.
    I doubt it goes past the 2nd round, and would bet money that it's over before the 4th.

    PEAK Sir Bert Cooper would likely kill Ali in the ring with his funky left hook. He hits way harder than his father, who hit Ali so hard his ancestors felt it, the destruction would be uncomphrensible.


    Bertram Cooper (born January 10, 1966), also known as Smokin' Bert Cooper and most recently Sir Bert Cooper was a leading heavyweight contender known for both his devestating punching power and being denied mandatory title shots by Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis. It has been confirmed that he has killed at least three men in the ring. In a controversial computer simulation held Jan. 5 of 2009, Sir Bert Cooper defeated Muhammad Ali by KO in Round 2. In the May 2000 edition of Ring Magazine, Evander Holyfield stated that Bert Cooper was the hardest puncher he ever faced. In 1999, he became the first African American to be knighted by the Queen.-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bert_Cooper

    Bertram Cooper (born January 10, 1966), also known as Sir Smokin Bert Cooper is a heavyweight boxer, most famous for his devastating punching power and several wild brawls in the 1990s. The African American son of [url]British[/url] boxing legend Sir Henry Cooper may not have got his father's looks but he did inherit his powerful left hook.
    Cooper came out of Philadelphia and was trained in his early years by ex-champs Joe Frazier, and his father, and rose in the rankings with a series of explosive knockouts in the Cruiserweight division despite being a natural welter weight when not training. He hit the great Orlin Norris so hard it damaged his knee and marked Cooper as a man to be feared.Cooper vowed only to fight Heavyweights from that moment on and still pulled his punches out of fear of killing again.
    He faced many legends such as Ray Mercer, George Foreman, Riddick Bowe, Michael Moorer, Chris Byrd, Derrick Jefferson, Corrie Sanders, Evander Holyfield, and Gabe Brown. All these fighters have been quoted as crediting him as the hardest puncher they ever faced. Holyfield specifically went into great detail in a Ring Magazine interivew, "Tyson was all arms and elbows, he could hurt you but Bert Cooper could kill you. I was lucky he held back when he fought me, but he could still kill you without trying, that's how hard he hit."
    The greatest victory of Cooper's career came when he KOed Ring #4 Joe Savage in 1994, putting him in line for a title shot. However, Don King told Cooper he would have to wait as Tyson was getting out of prision. The plan was for Tyson to unify the titles and defend the undisputed Championship against Cooper. But. Mike Tyson was quoted as tellling Don King, " **** that, you fight him if you love him so much, ******. " Not fighting the entire year, Cooper campaigned vigorously for a title fight with Tyson in 1996, calling him out on ESPN with vicious improvised raps. All was in vain, however, as Tyson faced Holyfield instead.
    Holyfield refused to give the aging Cooper a rematch and Cooper accepted his lot in life as a gate keeper. Allowing younger potential superstars to beat him and add his legendary name to their resumes. Cooper was finally knighted in 1999 by the Queen for his Human Rights work and legendary career. He is currenlty the first and only African American to be knighted. Sir Bert Cooper currently tours the world with his hip hop/jazz fusion band, the Funky Left Hook Express occassionally calling out the [url]Klitschko[/url] Brothers, who live in fear of his return.

    Great stuff, Mongoose. Totally hilarious. I went to college in Philly and watched many of Bert's early fights. He was a beast when properly motivated, but, as we all know he was about as inconsistent of a fighter as they come. I met him several times and he was actually a really nice guy. But, his battle with drugs was something he couldn't knock out until it was too late. Word around Philly back then was that Bert was an almost legendary street fighter before learning to lace them up. And, in spite of his frustrating inconsitency he had some great moments in the ring. His war with undefeated Ray Mercer was incredible. And his fight with Holyfield (on only 8 days notice) was classic. Holds up much better than 99% of the garbage that passes for a heavyweight fight these days. Sitting in the front row ringside when he almost stopped undefeated Michael Moorer in the first round is one of my favorite boxing memories.

    Bert, may not have really been knighted (or won the heavyweight crown), but, he was a blood and guts fighter with a big punch who would fight anybody, anytime, anywhere.

    Boxing needs more people like Bert Cooper.

    Tubbs was a very good boxer, but people overrate him somewhat.I could actually see him beating Foreman if it lasted to the late rounds, but unfortunately, that is not going to happen.Look for George to connect around the fourth round, to win by knockout.
