Bert Cooper just passed away. Would he be champ in this era?

- -Mike Spinks quite easily painted the masterpiece on a prime Qawi.

Field went his own life and death disaster against a tubby Qawi. Big deference btw the two.

Definitely a big difference skill wise between Spinks and Holyfield at the time they fought Qawi.

Remember though, Spinks had already won 6 title fights and had been a pro 5 years by that fight. Holyfield was a two year pro with only 11 professional bouts.

Sir I do believe we are comparing apple an oranges.

- -Sorta exactly, but more like comparing a Apple(Spinks) to a hackberry(Field/Qawi)

Gee that was an early exit. May he Rest In Peace.

What happened?

He had pancreatic cancer.

Cooper was always entertaining, but to think he would be a champion in this era would be just taking his best moments and completely ignoring his losses. can't see it myself.
