    HW? Cooper by today's sizes would be a small cruiser weight. His career weights were between 185 & 195lb's

    This would have been a decent match.I think Henry could have dragged it into the later rounds and got the stoppage on Enz provided he did not get cut up.Would be good to watch though cos against a guy that size Enzo`s big shots would always be a threat.

    I dont think its disrespectful, Its an interesting matchup. I just dont think Enzo would be able to take one left hook, as much as I think he's the better boxer tech wise, chin wise he's gone. He cant stop that hook coming all night...

    Does anyone seriously rate Cooper below Ola Afolabi? He may have been a cruiserweight by size but he had a heavyweight punch.
