Bert Cooper vs Michael Dokes

[The Old LefHook]

Worked out that I never saw much of either of these guys. Who was the superior fighter between the two?

[QueensburyRules]

- -Dokes ticked all the natural attributes boxes of his era save I don't think he was a natural fighter.

Also poor discipline and mentally more fragile than Cooper. Cooper was such a natural that poor discipline was often overcome. Cooper game to fight anyone, but not so Dokes. The core self belief was lacking.

Michael Dokes. Was a good HW just a little small in frame

[The Old LefHook]

Am I to take it Dokes was a little better, but Cooper more talented?

Agreed.... if he was just a little bigger...

????? Dokes was 6'3 and 215-225 lbs in his prime, he was naturally heavily muscled, and he was one of the bigger heavy's of his era. Cooper was 5'11 and 195-215ish in his prime

Michael Dokes, only thing that really stopped him was his drug habit, and lack of true power. He was barely 6'2", however.
