    He put Ali on his arse, and could have won the fight if it wasnt for the dodgy glove rip

    Our Enry is a legend! if he were around today he'd be unified champ! he'd knock out both Klitshcko's spark out on the same night! is just a shame he was around in the golden era of the 70's with greats such as Ali,Bugner,Bodell,Brian Birmingham, Mick Folley, Joe Foreskin & Joe Fraizer etc were around in his days! :-(

    Agree but would make a great cruiserweight nowadays

    Agree cruiser division would have been made for him.

    If he had better skin could have been much better.

    Left hook was nothing short of awesome!

    Bullshitting, bitter, jealous old man. Dundee going along with Cooper's ripped glove + extra time story is baffling.

    Its part of Dundees legend, he's hardly likely to want to minimize his part in the incident too much.

    He would have been a great cruiserweight champ or a light heavy champ if the money was right. He was at least on par with Calzaghe.

    Were you worried the "Calzaghe" post wouldn't get you enough attention?

    Anyone watching The Weakest Link on BBC1? Cooper has already mentioned Ali and Bugner.
