Henry Cooper passes away aged 76 :(

ah thats terrible news. Enry had a unique standing in British boxing and was loved by pretty much everyone. He was a good egg. I remember being gutted for him when he had to sell his set of lonsdale belts. It must have hurt. time to splash a bit of Brut 33 all over in his memory! http://www.brutformen.co.uk/a/img/gallery/events/henryCooper/zoom/three.jpg

RIP. lets not exaggerate his abilities, he wouldnt be a top ten crusierweight today. He might be a Top 100. His problem was that he was VERY prone to cuts, as he had paper thin skin and the bone formation of his eyebrows was too sharp. He lost many fights by beingstopped on cuts and you NEVER saw him, either winniing or losing without blood streaming down his face. There was talk of him having his protruding bone planed smooth, but he never had it done.

sir 'enry knocked out ali! I suggest that you learn a little boxing history. Cooper did NOT KO Ali, he knocked him down with a lovely left hook (his favourite punch) just before the bell. Ali stopped him in either the next rd or the one after. He fought Ali twice, was stopped twice, and neither fight went more than 4-6 rds.

RIP. You know what, it's the era for that generation to go very soon too. In the enxt 10 years Ali, Foreman, Frazier, Hopkins and Holyfield may go.LOL. Funny.

So sad. R.I.P

sir 'enry knocked out ali! I think you mean he knocked him down.
