[@BBeowulf]

Cooper is very underrated, one of the best left hooks in the history of boxing. I’d say even better than Joe Frazier’s. He really used to dig that thing in hard and fast, it was a thing of beauty. He had one problem though… his eyes used to cut really easily and most of his losses were due to doctor stoppages because of cuts. If he would’ve knocked down Ali just a little earlier he would’ve won. Ali only comes back around just in time for the next round and Angelo Dundee even tried to cut the gloves to get more time, if it happened in the middle of the round Ali would’ve been finished and he might never have become known as “the greatest”.

[@BlankUberEverybody]

Cooper's left was fast as lightning--being able to catch Ali with it when Ali was so young proves it. Ali could slip punches from anyone when he was young.

Had to add this to my play list. That left hook to end the 4th round.

[@julianp2868]

I've just seen someone else's post bless you both Henry & George I am sure both of you well look down upon us and Peace be with you both.

Saved by the Bell!!

[@MegaCokamo]

Absolutely. Cooper realistically won that, Ali’s corner bought time for a split glove, never switched it then opened coopers eye with it

Wauuuu , saludos cordiales desde mi pequeña isla de 🇵🇷 Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 Bendiciones 🙏 En está pelea Muhammad Ali, demostró que era muy bueno, Henry Cooper le dió buenos golpes, y en el 5 asalto, le contestó muy bien a Muhammad Ali, lo derribo muy bien, pero si se fijan, imetiatamente Muhammad Ali, cambio su estilo de pelea, fue más agresivo después de esa caída, y que pasó, Muhammad Ali lo dominó de hay a delante, eso demuestra que Muhammad Ali, podía pelear de diferentes formas, y tener éxito como sea, que descanse en paz el gran Campeón Muhammad Ali, para mí, el mejor de todos los tiempos, no solo como peleador, luchó por los derechos de la raza negra, y trajo los millones al 🥊 boxeo 🥊🙏 Bendiciones 🙏 Atte 🇵🇷🇵🇷 Albert Colon Lee 🇵🇷🇵🇷

After clay decided to get serious it was whup-ass time. Those were some powerful overhand rights at the end.

[@danielpatrick3761]

He was Clay at the time

[@traderpro4252]

You can see Cooper saw the opening as he was rolling up off Ali's punches . Hook was impeccably. Timed. A great fighter(Ali) vs a very very good one in Cooper.

Ya know I usually don’t like music over vids but this was nice

[@dougkeller7253]

Wow Ali was showing Henry zero respect. Fighting down to him. Could have got clobbered a few times.

[@Snagglefratz]

The Greatest of All Timeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[@davidkxxx2907]

Wow two great Champions

[@theartshow1476]

Cooper is mad underrated

[@cecilmorgan5084]

The late Peter Wilson, a boxing columnist who'd seen them all from before Joe Louis, said of this fight that he thought Clay, as he was then, could have stopped Cooper any time he wished, but "Five he predicted, and five it was to be." And sure enough, you can see he's carrying the Brit somewhat before round five, getting complacent enough to be dumped on his arse. I say had he been dropped in the middle of the ring one minute into the round, he'd have still beaten Cooper. that would have brought the animal, the real dog, out of Ali: and if 'Enery wasn't cut, he'd have taken a hellacious beating. I think he's one boxer who should be grateful for his tissue-paper epidermis, in hindsight. Had he beaten Clay, unlikely, but had he, he would have been next in line to face Liston. Did I hear some years ago that his manager, Jimmy Wicks, wanted no part of Liston? If true, wise man. The film for Liston-Cooper would have been banned for under-18s and carried a health warning for everybody else. Because it would have been pugilistic manrape.

Probably best. They do it for money and I'm sure if the fight is over too soon they wouldn't be paid as much. The audience has to be entertained. I criticise American wrestling for turning it into a fancy dress circus, but boxing would be better like that.

[@godhedsmanden]

Cecil Morgan yeah ! nice someone finally nailing it.
