Sir Henry Cooper has passed away

[MasterBlaster76]

I heard last night that the great British Boxer, best remembered by most for the lethal left hook that floored Cassius Clay 'Enry's 'Ammer', Sir Henry Cooper has passed away at the age of 76. RIP, 'Our 'Enry.

He would've beaten Ali if the bell hadn't saved him and he was about more than just one good punch.

I'm really surprised that this thread has had no replies, yet the thread for that scum Bin Laden has had twenty five replies. Come on, where are all the boxing fans?

Edit: I understand why Bin Laden's got many replies, but surely Our 'Enry deserves a bit of a discussion?

He is a bit out of the era for nearly anyone on these forums to remember him. Its sad an' all but it would be odd for people who've probably never heard of him to start conveying condolences.

Fair enough, he might not be as well known as Ali - but he is from Ali's era and did knock him on his backside once; not many people have done that.
