    I think Damiani was a more well rounded fighter who could both box and punch. And while it didn’t necessarily take a world beater to beat him he didn’t lose to journeyman either. Would have the size advantage too. Henry had a wicked left hook though and it was a hard left from Ray Mercer that broke Damianis nose. But barring one big lucky shot I think I’ll favor Damiani

    Our ‘Enery couldn’t miss that schnozz if you blindfolded him.

    Cooper by a nose.
