    If our Enry, who was a bloody hard puncher, had met the old mongoose himself?
    Can we see Moore giving him a schooling?
    Or is it.. And Moore is down from another left hook from Cooper??

    Depends on just how old Archie is.

    Prime for prime Archie was much better. Think it’s a KO within 8 for Moore. Although Cooper has the ability to give Archie a tough go of it.

    I have to go with Archie Moore, but he at times gets wobbled by that famed left hook of Henry Cooper. Archie by stoppage on cuts, TKO 6.

    Thanks my friend, but while it lasts this fight would be interesting, Henry was no pushover.

    Hmm? I'd have to go with Richard M Murrieta's prediction, Archie by stoppage in a barn burner

    Certainly wasn't, Richard.
    Anyone who can put Ali down like he did, is definitely no pushover!

    My take is Cooper pre FolleyI loses, but I take Our 'enry from 59 onwards.

    He did seem to get a little better in his latter years. Do you think the Cooper from Ali 1 fight, is a good version to slot in there against Moore?

    If they fought during a time when Moore was in deep deterioration then yes. Cooper had the power which at that point could have hurt Moore.
