rumour has it bert cooper has passed away ....but no description of how he died ....does anybody know ?
Both generations of Smokin' heavyweights gone within 7½ years of each other. (Joe Frazier trained Bert Cooper in his prime and bestowed the nickname upon him, if any of y'all didn't realize)
He sure was, old school, gave his all with honour unlike the wasters today aka Wilder,Joshua , IMO only one guy in the HW is old school & thats Whyte, he will at least take all comers, whether he is any good is another matter.
Sad news. When I think of him, images of him fighting Holyfield, Moorer, Mercer and Bowe still come to mind. RIP.
