Sir Henry Cooper dead.
olaftab:
Sad to hear of Henry's death today at the age of 76. Great boxer and a fantastic human being. Now days heavy weight sector is laughable Henry was around in the great era of boxing and still to me the greatest British boxer ever.

However good he may have been as a boxer and whatever he was like as a man (I don't know about the latter so I can't comment), he probably did more than anyone to make boxing popular in Britain.

First one he wasn't robbed at all, second was a disputed decision but a long way off the robbery he claimed.
