Also Cooper vs Michael Moorer had a pretty f#cking fun fight that damn near give me a heart attack as a big Moorer fan back in the day.

Thanks for posting this man, you're a legend. Not bad for a short notice fight. And what a chin!

This is sad. Ive got alot of good memories of Bert, from when i first sat up as a kid to watch him come in last minute against Holyfield, to the Moorer fight and even that great ko against Cecil Coffee. He was the underdog to cheer for and wonder what couldve been, he was a great cruiserweight too. Rip Bert.
