    He'll destroy Wilder & Joshua but boxers like Andy Ruiz & Johann Duhaupas could stand a chance slugging with him. And of course, Fury can outbox easily

    Wow, I actually thought he'll beat everybody also. I'm just afraid that you guys will disagree that's why I try to change my opinion slightly. Cooper is so underrated the reason why he's record does not seem so becuz 1990's competition are too tough. but wilder is famous becuz he has no competition. Today's heavyweight is a joke. The weakest in the 1990's could destroy the strongest in 2010's & 2000's. Even wladimir is overrated as f*ck. He had no competition and now he's in the history top 10 or maybe top 5 greatest heavyweights. I can imagine cooper just run & smother wladimir and beat him in the inside with little to no effort.

    And it make sense, you can't just a have a good 1-2 + Punching Power and BAM ! become one of the GOAT in HW history. it doesn't work that way. Holyfield time were so tough becuz all of them were good in every unique way. Even Holyfields debut was a close fight.

    I REALLY REALLY feel bad for Cooper, he lost to a completely hard era and was forgotten. While Wladimir dominated a weak era and was remembered as one of the GOAT HW. For me, Wlad is just the smartest in the most stupid class but Cooper is the dumbest in the most Smartest class.

    But still, I'm not saying wladimir is a weak boxer, but he is rated too much despite the challenge the competition he went through. And if I want to be brutally honest with you. Wladimir never wanted to fight, you might say he can't becuz he has a weak chin but Hearns has proven that it's still possible. Cooper go toe 2 toe with mercer for 12 rounds, gave PEAK Holyfield (we're talking about peak Holyfield not old Holyfield, PEAK Holyfield) 1 of his toughest fight (literally dropping him for the 1st time in his career) & brawl with moorer in 5 round full of action Slugfest. but yet, Wladimir is the GOAT.

    Fury was knocked down by Cunningham, can't see him surviving Bert Cooper's onslaught.

    Imagine Usyk with his feather fists trying to keep Bert off him!
    It would be fun while it lasted (45 seconds? 60?) , Usyk flicking that right jab out then BOOOM !! Cooper right hand ... it's all over. Ouch.

    Sent Southpaws Moorer and Sanders after him instead. Lewis, the great chess master, knew even a King has his limitations. Only angles can defeat a past prime Bert Cooper.

    Cooper in his cruiser prime....unbeatable. His only loss to Reggie Gross was BS, he was putting a hurting on this man. When the ref asked him if he could continue Cooper thought he was talking about Gross. Of course he said "No." He didn't want to kill this man. Gross ducked the rematch of course.

    Holyfield was wise to face him at heavyweight instead where Coopers punching power was diminished from weight gain....

    Holyfield was knocked out seven times in that fight but the referee wouldn't let Holyfield lose in his hometown.
    Credit to Holyfield, he was a warrior, but Cooper did beat him.
