    If Henry had been active in the early 30 s, which of the big 5 does he stand more chance with, in a title shot?
    Schmeling
    Sharkey
    Carnera
    Baer
    Braddock.
    We'll have the Cooper of late 50 s /early 60 s against the champs.
    I don't think we can write off Cooper against them all. Imo he stands a chance against at least 3 of them.

    Carnera
    Braddock
    Sharkey
    I don't give him much chance against either Max.

    My 3 exactly the same mcvey. I see him been battered by baer very quickly. Schmeling would be a longer game with Cooper been stopped, more than likely on cuts. But the others, I can see him defeating. With out trying to stir up the Carnera hornets nest, I can see Cooper ko ing him for sure, sharkey possibly gets ko'd. Braddock would probably be the least likely to be knocked out but I see him losing on points to enery.
