Yawn!
There's plenty of big punching fighters that haven't knocked out a top notch fighter. Earnie Shavers is considered the biggest puncher ever but he had a so-so chin and didn't knockout any still in shape world class fighters. How many top rated heavyweights did Archie Moore knock out? I can't think of any but does that mean he couldn't punch?tigerpomfret wrote:I`m still waiting for someone to tell us a top heavy cooper knocked out![]()

Any other fighter,after his awful performances would have retired,like his brother did,the only thing that saved henry,was a great manager,and the london press...what a myth...and you jokers on here still believe it 30 years later...
Tiger will end his postings on this topic by quoting 2 of the greatest heavies of all time,ALI:---Coopers nothing but a bum and a tramp
Frasier:---A joker like cooper
And i think that just about sums it up...
Now then,i wonder who`s hype should be next in TIGER POMFRETS blast from the past.....i mean my postings...NOT henry`s hammer![]()

Why remove it?... just a bit of fun mate, I think this forum could do with a bit of humour, too many people here take themselves too seriously...BoxBuzz wrote:I was anticipating /hoping that you would be "deepsixing" the off topic Arsenal vs Barry thread. You usually keep the house around here focused and on topic. It was in hopeful anticipation, I have since removed my incorrect remark.
Cooper actually stopped Richardson and Erskine... both of whome were ranked in the top ten... tiger doesn't know his subject...Controversial wrote:There's plenty of big punching fighters that haven't knocked out a top notch fighter.

You keep talking about the hype surrounding Cooper but I can't remember anyone say Cooper was a world class fighter, he was a good fighter but not world class. So what is the hype you are talking about?
Cooper was good enough to give Ali to hard fights, came close to stopping Ali which is more than most could, and only lost to Ali because of cuts. Thats not a bad effort if you ask me.
Again Cooper gave Ali much tougher fights than Liston ever did so Cooper couldn't have been that bad.
