I was kind of thinking that too about Cooper. He certainly has that reputation. Then I looked at his record.
After he had been a pro for two years, Cooper was only stopped twice by cuts the rest of his career. Both times by Ali.
Maybe Cooper was not as vulnerable to cuts as his reputation.
Still would go with Page, with some reservations. He certainly had his share of lackluster performances. If he was on his game, Page should win though.
Interesting note; they actually have at least one common opponent: Joe Bugner.
In the last fight of career, an old Cooper lost a close decision to Bugner that could have gone his way.
Page actually lost to an old Bugner.
