If you have to ask 'how was he robbed' you obviously havn't seen the fight or know the history, so dont bother answering.
Did that incident with Ali and his glove cost Cooper his advantage after scoring with 'henry's hammer'.
its well documented and admitted by all parties that it was a deliberate act (Dundee admitted doing it).
The question is, assuming a cheat hadn't occured, would Cooper have been the 1st to win against Ali as well as being the 1st to send him to the canvas?

It is all speculation. I saw the fight and Ali was hit and went down. On the way back to the corner he was wobbling. The punch came at the end of the round so Cooper could not follow up. Dundee pulled on a cut in the glove of Ali and then needed time to get new gloves. Ali had a minute to recover and Dundee gave him more time. To answer your question Ali would have been able to continue. He had a minute to rest and was fine the rest of the fight.

The stalling of Ali(then Clay)-Cooper a million has taking on an entire life of it particularly is very own. it is between the various examples of Ali's "tale" being grew to become into "legend". I watched an unedited vid of the between rounds happenings. Dundee suggested as the ref over to look on the glove. The ref looked and actual suggested "bs" and ordered the combat to proceed. entire elapsed time between rounds: sixty two to sixty 5 seconds. Ali became perplexed simply by fact he did no longer pay attention the bell. What has been ignored from the story is how Cooper became waiting to convey his hook to submit to. a female at ringside became screaming bloody homicide had distracted Ali long adequate for Coop to land the super shot. Ali wasn't harm too badly. a significant sign of it is his elbows. He makes use of them to cushion his fall. that's the way you spot a fighter that's no longer heavily harm. i've got performed some reasearch into this concern, the newspapers interior the days following the combat make no connection with a stoppage simply by glove injury. Cooper became outclassed and outgunned and out everythinged that night. Scored a fortunate punch, then Ali closed the practice the subsequent around.

Ali was great at dancing around the ring and, as he proved later in his career, had a rock hard chin. Therefore, I think he could have escaped Cooper's punches until he recovered.

ALI WOULD HAVE STILL WON. HE HAD EXTRA ORDINARY RECUPERATIVE POWERS.
AS FAR AS ROBBERY IS CONCERNED. ROBBERY IN BOXING AS AS COMMON AS IT EVERYDAY ON THE STREETS OF AMERICA.
P. S. THIS IS AMERICA, YOU CAN NOT TELL PEOPLE THAT THEY CAN NOT ASK A QUESTION.
