head to head Woodcock beats the lot of em, but I'm surprised no Tommy Farr...

it's a toss up between these two, and I'm surprised they never danced, though Farr was at the end and Woodcock would have likely beat him...but prime for prime they didn'y come more durable than Farr.

Farr
Woodcock
Bugner
Cooper
Bruno

Cooper.

Good all rounder. Who could forget the hook that dropped Ali/Clay. He cut up but, overall technically better than the rest.

Psst. I thought Bugner was an Aussie? He sure sounds like one. He is in fact HUNGARIAN!! :lol:

Henry Cooper. He held the European and British Heavyweight title for a long time

this would be an achievement vote, which is usually referred too as greatest.

BEST would translate literally "who beats who - is BETTER Than who"

Farr, then Woodcock, NO?

I would rank Farr over all of them, in terms of head to head matchups and best scalps on their resume.
