    Of course Cooper has a chance, but he has as much chance as any of the current crop of Cruiserweights, i.e. he wouldn't be the favourite. Yes, Henry had a geat left hook but he had skin like Rizla and someone like Joshua is just too big and powerful.

    AJ TKO 3.

    The people who say Cooper I bet would never bet their life on it. They get it wrong and they die. They would all change their minds straight away. Massive mismatch this fight is.

    You're just saying it's a mismatch because Cooper is an old school heavyweight

    Enery's 'Ammer has only got to land once on AJ's chin & it would be over. That was one heck of a left hook

    Or maybe because cooper would probably be fighting at light heavyweight nowadays

    Because he’s a 6 foot 185 lb man who has been knocked out by plenty of men a lot physically weaker than Joshua and less skilled as well.

    He’s took bigger shots from much bigger powerful men. Cooper was knocking out men his own size.

    Cooper would kill all of the modern light heavies and cruisers. He would have to fight at heavyweight so as to not seriously maim anybody.

    Virtually every single person who knocked him out. All were the size of cruiserweights/ light heavyweights.

    Doesn't mean they were weaker. No one in today's heavyweight division stops prime Henry

    So cruiserweights and light heavyweights can stop prime Henry but super heavyweights can’t?
