I'm talking about the Cooper that almost beat Holyfield in Atlanta. I think he would've given Mike a nice tussle if they had met back then. What do you think?

Pancho ~
The Burt Cooper that almost knocked out Holyfield was a one time deal. Burt never really lived up to his potential, but lets just say that it were "Iron" Mike Tyson in there instead of Holyfield to be fair to your question, because Burt never fought up to the same level ever again.
Mike Tyson moved his head better than any heavyweight in the history of the division, better than the great Ali, that's how good his head movement WAS (before Don King) if you watch the Cooper vs Holyfield fight Evander would step straight back with little or no head movement at all, he would sit there and exchange with Cooper and this fell right into Burts game plan. Mike Tyson would hit and not be hit (as much) he would counter off his side to side motion with devastating effects, especially the hooks.
Burt had some pretty decent punching power and he did move his head a bit, but he took way too many shots and fighting against a in his prime Mike Tyson, pre Don King, one shot would be one too many. Sad to write Burt would be knocked out in less than 5 rounds.

Cooper - W 36 (KO's 30) TF 59 - W pct 61% - KO pct 51% - wins over Tillman and O. Norris - KO'ed by Bowe, Foreman, Holyfield, Moorer and 11 others fighters
Tyson - W 50 (KO's 43) TF 58 - W pct 86% - KO pct 74% - wins over Berbick, Smith,Williams,Thomas, Biggs, Holmes, Spinks ,Ruddock and Bruno - KO'ed by Holyfield, Lewis and Douglas (average fighter) - #16 ranked puncher - #72 ranked fighter
Cooper is a strong and tough fighter but not fierce enough to hold off Tyson. Tyson in a 6 rd KO.

McCall, who worked with both fighters, said that Cooper was the harder puncher of the two. Cooper could punch and had decent stamina but I see him getting discouraged from the punishment he takes from Tyson. Tyson wins this in a fun war within 3 rounds.

both fighters can bang,but thats where the simalaritys end.tyson had far too much hand speed and skill for cooper.tyson early 1 round two at the most.holyfield had cooper reeling, so what would a young tyson do with him?remember evander was only about fourteen and a half stone back then.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU7TY
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

No. No contest. Tyson would've brutalized Cooper into submission.

cooper through his own fault gets no respect but when he was on he was one tough s.o.b....i mean on as in on his game not on anything else but as tough as cooper was a iron mike in his prime would win in a brutal war in 3 rds of all out mayhem.
