Tex Cobb vs. Henry Cooper

Cooper UD.

 

I go with 'ol Tex by stoppage on cuts. Cooper would start bleeding at the weigh in.

 

marciano ko1

 

Tex ko 8 Henry.

 

There it is.

Our 'Enery would land some hard punches on Cobb, but what else is new? Cobb's getting hit by everybody, but he's not going anywhere. Eventually, he's gonna hit back, and the inevitable happens.

 

This would be a dreadful nightmare for 'Enery, who would have found Cobb laughing at his hammer. Tex would have simply walked through Cooper's hook, and sliced him up with that slow heavy jab of his.

Tex TKO Cooper on cuts late.

 

Bingo.

 

wtf :rofl

 

They would split a 2 fight series Tex wins the first by late stoppage, Cooper gets tired of beating him up and Cobb slowly comes on to stop him late.

2nd fight Cooper is well aware of Cobbs ruggedness and wins a decision.

 

Cooper is clearly at least four levels above Cobb. Cobb was a face first brawler with a chin, Cooper could actually box!

Cooper by Holmesesque shut out decision.

 

Cobb would simply be too big and strong for Cooper. It would be different if Henry was harder to hit than he actually was.

 

Cobb by late stoppage. Cooper would hammer away at him for most of the early rounds to no avail, then once Tex started landing some heavy shots, Cooper would break down and either get KO'd or rescued by his corner.

 

Texas Cobb was NOT the farce or bum some people think...... In a streetfight, Cobb was a bad-ass..........

Henry Cooper was no boxing artist; he was a fighter with toilet tissue skin....

I see Cobb being bigger, stronger with tougher skin.... Cobb wins a 10 rounder.......

Cobb was limited in both skill and mobility, but mentally and physically, he was as tough as any man whoever stepped in a boxing ring. With a sturdy chin, heavy punch, and a no-quit mentality a man can go pretty far in the heavy weight division.
