Classy and I loved it. 😃

0:07 Cooper can't even look Bugner in the eye. Show some class, Henry.

You see referee harry gibbs was the only person to decide usually three scorecards not one man

Joe Bugner wot a fantastic personality gor boxing good on you sir

Two proper men.

I love you evander holyfiled you are my favorite boxer of all time ❤❤❤❤🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊

God bless nigel ✝️🕊💙🙏 amen

Used to love watching Paul ingle fights he was a great none stop fighter with the heart of a lion

Joe . The most aggravating boxer to watch.. You always felt there was so much more for him to offer but never did.

Broccoli

Mygggg s🤫🔥💯

I think Henry won the fight- just. I also feel for Joe Bugner, he didn't make the decision at the end of the day, and he was given a hard time over it for years by the vicious media in Britain. He seems a complete gentleman and a good sportsman- and he was a fine boxer in his own right. He deserves more recognition and respect than he's received. He comes across like Henry always did, as a thoroughly decent bloke.

The fight was a huge stitch up. Mickey Duff, Astair and Co wanted the only independents left in British Boxing (Cooper and Wicks) out of the way and the ref was paid. And people think Don King was the only one, far from it, VERY far from it.

Watching this and you still not RESPECTING THE REAL MAYWEATHER , that means you are Pessimist...neither PAcquiao, whoever en boxingf can stand against This . BUT; HE DID IT AND WON. FLOYD AN ALIVE LEGEND

' i think the drinkin has got to him a lickle bit"...lloyd was cockney jamaican to the full. A true brit with grit in the 80s

You forgot one athlete: corruption. Corruption got the most medals.

'the other fella' Doesn't sound like Brendan had much time for Mayweather

Joshua Vs Jones

I love that

Two top top fella's and great fighters

I think there’s a bit of revisionism going on regarding Joe. Sure enough at the time some people were on a bit of a downer with him for beating Cooper, a verdict incidentally which was no robbery it could have gone either way. The fans problem with Joe was the fact he was a 6’4” Adonis with fantastic physical attributes and he frequently stunk the joint out with his passiveness. His best performance was in a losing fight against Frazier but that was a rarity, if he showed that mettle and aggression in his other fights he would have done better and been more popular with the fans. I mean he managed to get beat off Jack Bodell FFS.

Listening to Cooper’s excuses makes it a very sad end to his career my dad and his friends were there that night they all thought that I had won. Found Cooper very disingenuous he could never have faced Joe Frazier Earnie Shavers they would have. murdered him. Joe was a young boy Cooper couldn’t even bring him self to congratulate him like a man

Bugner is now in care home apparently suffering from dementia 😞

Hatton's hair is top notch.

Bugner didn’t deserve the hard time he got from the British press. He wasn’t responsible for the decision. He was a World class heavyweight in a great era.

He spot on about the drinking.

I think the reason why he got the decision was to give Britain another chance of winning the world heavyweight title as cooper was at the end of his career

How was Cooper so damned handsome and eloquent after 17 years of getting his face mashed up so badly?

Excellant!

Wonderful!

A great post, thank you! And why we are talking all time greats, Reg Gutteridge was without a doubt the greatest boxing commentator of all time!

Tough boxer who fought in brilliant era of heavyweights

This was great to see, a fairly rare video I think. Actually the #1 story here was the beef squashing reunion between Ken and Roberto due to the extreme bitterness Ken held for decades after the low blow after the bell in round 13, and the avoidance of two scheduled rematches. Once, while working construction after boxing, Ken just walked off the site, grabbed a plane to NYC, and went looking for Duran. He got off the plane wasted and ended up partying with a bunch of brothers in Harlem, and never found Duran before he realized he was crazy and needed to go back home.

Manos de piedra, El Chivato de boxeo. Also had a chin of Stone.

I've watched the full fight, I think bugner beat cooper

Ken Buchanan superb fighter

Not sure how I ended up back here

I believe a prime Marciano could compete in present day fights. Bigger isnt always better. Marciano was always punching and if he connected they would fall.

I was there at NEWCASTLE that night when Martin Devlin brought him across to the North East of England.

Best decision in his career going to America bugner was a excellent fighter

Quality makes it seem like this happened in 2006 when in reality WWE was already HD in 2008

A nice lad

for a second i really thought that was floyd

Amogst heavyweights, Tom Cowler is often overlooked. He was probably one of the best of his era.

Far out, ol mcquigen with black hair and lots of it, he was a ruthless little bastard in the canvass box..

The ref was hand picked by floyd how on earth do you get for a title challenge a figher from las Vegas the referee from las Vegas to against a fighter from Manchester that normally lets fighters fight in the inside it was a joke

Ricky Hatton never feard anyone he went up to fight mayweather and pacquiao he won championship at 10 stone 7 but he was a 10 stone fighter who we all loved he a legend

PERFECTLY SAID

LEGEND

Very British that the country never forgave Joe for being a winner. Enery was a God but every dog has his day and Joe was one of the best boxers I ever saw and he never got the respect he deserved.
