    I'm not sure if this one's been done before. Who you got?

    Whoever lands first.

    bert probably deserved to start favourite.


    Butler could have been good.

    I think this could be a fantastic slugfest. Butler was an underrated guy. If Bert Cooper is at his best I’d favor him to win but anything shy of best and Lionel might pull it off

    If Lionel was focused and not on the pipe he blasts out Cooper inside 3

    Butler. He'd also win in the post fight crack smoking contest.

    Damn shame Butler didn’t look after himself.

    Anything can happen between too big punchers who both go for broke. So what you say is possible. But why is that your prediction. Cooper gave prime versions of Holyfield, Moorer and Mercer hell. He also beat a few decent fringe contenders in Hipp, Norris and De Witt
