Henry Cooper was 188 pounds when he knocked Ali out. Sorry, but smelling salts are an auto-dq and Ali used them to recover and theres video evidence anyone can see. Who cares about the gloves, the smelling salt is what should be looked at. Like Margarito, who knows how often Ali used smelling salts, He probably used them against Wepner and thats why he beat the Bleeder. Its also why he is ******ed today. He didnt know how to box and got hit in the head all the time and used smelling salts to stop his brain telling him to stop and now he's ******ed. So how is he great if at Heavyweight a 188 pound journeyman leveled him?

Damn, Henry Cooper knocked Ali? When did this happen? In Alaska or on the moon?

Smelling salts is cheating Tell that to all those trainers who were using them in the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s: It was standard practice ffs

You would know! Afterall, YOU'RE the one dreaming of being seriously "Iron Fisted" and no doubt you're looking forward to a REALLY hard "Steel Hammering"

Wow, you would know jokes coming from a person accusing someone they don't know over the internet of being gay. You know **** about me dude and talking **** about a poster on an internet forum is about as low, cowardly and ****sexual as Ali. I dont believe in personally attacking other posters, because your posts say enough by themselves and anyone with the ability to have cognitive thought can figure out all they need to know about you. You are calling people gay for example, with your sig being a picture of Judas Priest...End it dude. Game over.

Cite all these trainers who were usign smelling salts, and so if a ton of people do steroids are they legal? Guess you think using roids in 90's baseball was ok because a lot of people did it. Its been against boxing rules since the 30s.

Ali was a known cheater. A ****sexual and contracted HIV. He is also ******ed. The reason he avoided teh draft at first is was that he was ruled ******ed, prior to the draft. However, the standards were lowered so that high functioning ******s could be sent to nam. Im not saying i support that practice, but its a fact he is ******ed.

188 pounder knocked Ali out.

Were smelling salts illegal at the time? Serious question, I really don't know.

Anyway, **** happens.

How can Wladimir be great if he got destroyed by a fat, inactive, 36 year old golfer?

**** happens, sonny.

This is the most retarted thread of all time....first of all..henry cooper never knocked out ALi, Ali was dropped for 2 seconds then got straight back up....ALi was never in his career knocked out cold....secondly the guy who started this thread is probably some skinhead white guy who hates blacks...so go **** yourself mate

His point is that Ali was pretty much KTFO and when he went back to his corner he used smelling salts to shake off the effects of the punch. That is an illegal thing to do so Cooper should have won. Ali is not the greatest and real fans know this. He's definetly in the top 10 best Heavies of all time.
