    He was introduced as an undefeated bare knuckle champion with 42 fights under his belt. But even if true, one wonders about the quality of said competition.

    What about 25 year old George Foreman?

    Well I'd favor prime Joe Savage or 1981 Joe Louis.

    Dude you’re really pressing things.

    Bert Cooper was only 8 years old when George Foreman was 25. I just don’t see it being competitive.

    Wonder how this match come about then ? There’s not even a little story about him anywhere. No match ups with anyone else, nothing

    When he issued the challenge, he did it very low under his breath

    I mentioned it earlier in the thread Somali. Some freak Pro-Am show in New Orleans. God alone knows where they found Savage.

    Per BoxRec it happened in Canada. They only show two bouts on the card, the other with Shane Sutcliffe against a 1-0-1 guy. No mention of amateur bouts on the card, though there certainly could have been. I swear I watched this on TV, but I'm probably thinking of Cooper's Richie Melito fight.
