Immortal British Heavyweight Challenger Henry Cooper (40-14-1 (27 KO’s) – “I can’t make any secret of it. The two guys I would have tried to avoid were Marciano and Joe Frazier. They were such hard guys to fight. Boxing Ali was a lot different. At least he gave me moments to consider the next move. He clutched a bit and fooled around. In some respects, Ali was easy to fight. But Rocky, who never threw a straight punch, could knock you bandy with any kind of punch. You never knew where they were coming from. He gave no respite, no time to consider. He just wanted to destroy. If you look again at Rocky’s record none of the guys he fought were ever as good again. It was like being put through a mincing machine. If he missed a punch, and he often did, you had a good chance of copping an elbow or forearm in the face. But he never complained if you did the same. I met him twice. He brought a fellow called Tony Hughes here to fight me. We beat him and I couldn’t understand why Rocky fancied Hughes might be a champion. Outside the ring he was so gentle and unassuming, an absolute Jekyll and Hyde, considering he wanted to clobber everyone without mercy when the bell sounded.”
