Cooper was a blown up cruiser, give some evidence of his "thou shalt not be questioned power"....hell even carl " hit me once so i collapse" williams handled Coopers power fairly well. The whole myth of coopers power was built around that beating of dewitt in his first real fight at HW and dewitt was a small HW.
Sure Cooper floored Moorer twice, but that doesnt constitute evidence of Moorer's decent chin and I do happen to think Moorer did have a decent chin and cojones and determination to go with it .
He was kayoed by whoah nellie punchers like Foreman and Tua with one shot, but early in his HW career recovered from 2 knockdowns from a good puncher like Stewart and survived Bonecrusher, even the Holy fight he kept getting up.....
Bottom line .
Cooper big puncher?=No
Moorer decent chin?= It's very worthy of debate but i think yes overall he did have a decent chin, not the best not the worst.
Stewart never floored Moorer and Michael never fought Bonecrusher, but thanks for trying.

I think cooper had decent to good power but was at times just not really into it. On a side note when ever you look at a shipping or courier parcel that says fragile on it the picture is of a glass or wine glass breaking. Fragile chin, glass chin same thing.!! chur

Pottery is fragile, but it ain't made of glass.
He wasn't pottery chinned either.
But you agree there is a difference? Anyway, you never did answer my question. Which other top fighter did Cooper floor twice?

Moorer did fight Bonecrusher in 1993.
Wow, score one for the village idiot. I don't remember that at all.
