Being brought up in East London during the 60's and 70's, it was kind of compulsory.. That left hook of his was something else, i can assure you..
Had he been a stone heavier & less susceptable to cuts, he'd have been a main player at HW 4 sure..
I also enjoy watching Joe Erskine, Brian London, John L Gardner, John H Stracey, Alan Minter, Both Finnegans, Dave Charnley, Roy Gumbs, Mark Kaylor, Tony Sibson, Dennis Andries, Dave boy Green, Boza Edwards, Maurice Hope, Terry Marsh, Charlie Magri, Duke McKenzie, Barry McGuigan, Lloyd Honeyghan (when he KO'd Johnny Bumphus on his stool lol)
Too many to mention, but i'll always show a keen eye for British Talent..

I agree with you about him being a much bigger threat in the heavyweight divsion had he been bigger with tougher skin. The thing I like about watching Cooper is that his big left hook is so wild that you never know when he is going to drop the hammer on his opponent. Out of your list my favorite is probably Mark Kaylor, he was just a crowd pleaser and he had some great fights back in the 80's my favorite being his scrap with Errol Christie.

Yeh, I had to mention Christie on the 'Great Fighters with weak chins' thread recently.. I remember his fight with Kaylor well.. Kaylor burst the highly touted Christie's bubble.. They had another scrap on the street at the pre-fight press conference aswell, which Kaylor also got the better of..
I thought Mark was gonna go all the way, but then he was shockingly KTFO by Buster Drayton, and was never quite the same afterwards.. He eventually faded onto the unlicensed circuit, and the last i heard, he'd returned to his original occupation as a hod carrier.. His losing effort to Tony Sibson will always stick in my mind, it was razor close..
