He was a very well known figure when I was a kid, shame if he's out for the final count.

Sad news. His twin brother died last year.

I remember 'Enry's 'Ammer.

Perhaps a bit too small to become a world heavyweight champion, but he was a good boxer, and he gave Clay a fright before Clay was world champion.

RIP, great character.

Aye.

IIRC, Ali has always been very complimentary towards Cooper.
