    I really admired Sir Henry Cooper a lot, he had class, positive example to the youth all over the world, and a credit to his country. He was also a credit to boxing history. I remember prior to the May 21 1966 title bout against then champion Muhammad Ali, the boxing public began to assume that Henry would score a knockdown as he did in 1963, but it did not happen this time, but Cooper fought Ali valiantly in a losing effort.
