...if Cooper shows up in shape?....Marciano was always focused and in shape... ...Marciano pounds him...
Well, I can't argue with this. Hey, I rooted for Cooper... he was fun to watch, punched hard, and there was the Joe Frazier connection in the early days... but too many times he blew it. No shame in losing to some of the guys listed above like Bowe and Foreman, but he could have given himself a better chance by coming in well prepared. Can't complain with his efforts vs. Mercer, Holyfield, and Moorer and a few others. He honestly beat the shlt out of Joe Hip and looked good doing it.
