[ThePlugInBabies]

the general british publics two favourite hometown heavys.

can the easily shaken up bruno avoid 'enrys deadly left hook?

will henrys paper skin hold up against franks bombs?

[janitor]

Tommy Farr owns them both.

The main problem Cooper had, was not so much getting cut as getting KO'd.

The size is such it really would not shock me if Bruno did Cooper in one. But I will have a bit respect for Sir 'enry and say Bruno in six, in a performance similar to his fight against Bugner.

Cooper maybe, but Tommy is far;) too small for Bomber Bruno.

[janitor]

Cooper maybe, but Farr is far;) too small for Bomber Bruno.

Don't you believe it.

If he can go head to head with Joe Louis and Max Baer for 15 rounds then you better believe that he will take Bruno into deep water and drown him.

I would tend to favour Bruno but would not be shocked if Cooper knocked him out.

Styles make fights, Farr would get caught early by one of Bombers clubbing blows.

I will say that if Farr gets into the sixth unharmed he wins.

i always believed that cooper had a bad chin. too many ko losses.

frank was bigger, better jab, punched much harder.......i pick frank all the way.

bruno by ko in 4.

[Senya13]

Bruno KO1 Cooper in 9 fights out of 10. The last fight, Cooper manages to last until 2nd round, KO2.

[Mantequilla]

Tommy Farr owns them both.


but then loses widely against Conteh;)

Bruno has too many advantages here. Cooper would fight bravely , and land a fair share of punches, but Frank's physical strength, power and jab, would take Henry apart.

Bruno by TKO somewhere between rounds 4-6.

Cooper maybe, but Tommy is far;) too small for Bomber Bruno.

Farr only KO'd 24 men in 80 wins and lost at least 30 fights. Bruno was TKO'd in all his losses, but only to very heavy punchers. I don't see Farr stopping Bruno, and in order to win a decision, he'd have to go through hell and back tasting power like he's never felt before in order to do it.

I pick Bruno over Farr.

[Russell]

Edge to Bruno.

I disagree but I will drop the matter to avoid turning this into a Bruno vs Farr thread which is not what the authour intended.

Bruno by KO

cooper was a lovely boxer

Agreed!

[Decy]

I think a better question(no offence) would be Bruno v Bugner Franks punch and strength vs Joes chin and ring smarts.

[heerko koois]

Bruno inside 4 rounds .......maybe on cuts...
