Even though they each fought great fighters in their era, but they never fought each other. Who would win this heavyweight match up between Jesse "The Boogieman" Ferguson or "Smokin" Bert Cooper? In my opinion, Ferguson would need to out-box and out-hustle Cooper to take a decision in 10 rounds. What is your opinion?

I'd pick Cooper. Ferguson might have looked a bit more composed from the technical side, but Cooper was much sharper. Cooper could pull a brawl, but Ferguson didn't have enough skills to avoid this kind of fight and to withstand Cooper's pressure.
