    I dont know much about Cooper but he managed Cassius Clay for a while which means more than any of Enzo's wins, so I'd say Henry.

    i'd take cooper here.it's true henry although a national hero was not top world class,but he was ranked in the lower reaches of the top ten for many years. although a lot of his defeats were on cuts people do forget he was knocked out several times.however this was by guys like floyd patterson,ingemar johansson and zora folley the first two in particular big hitters.i just think he would have too much savvy for enzo and as soon as that big left hook connected it would be curtains.

    I take Enzo on cuts, assuming he boxes smart.

    If I had started this thread I would have taken unpleasant abuse from Brit forum regulars like Claypole etc.

    Enzo by KO

    Cooper is average

    he has milked that Ali knockdown for several decades

    if thats all he got to talk about he cant be that good

    Enzo KO 5

    Sorry bud but cooper would of found that china chin of enzo, he is faster and hits harder.

    Look at the different levels of opposition cooper has faced, add on to that henry was fighting guys much better then enzon as well.

    Henry's hammer by round 5 :good

    You think Enzo would of knocked down Ali?

    Cooper is a battler with immense power the guy would of spark Enzo cold.

    I think Cooper at his best would be able to get to Enzo and stop him in around the 6th.

    i pick enzo for his size, 5 inches the bigger man. he hits harder, but would fall if copper landed a left. i could see enzo starting well, then cooper rallying, but taking to many shots, with a wide cut, and the fight is stopped in round 10. but if it went the distance, cooper wins. remember he looked fresh in the 15th. 12 is nothing for him.

    Cooper is 6 foot 2, and Enzo is 6 foot 4.
