I don’t know how someone can’t like Henry Cooper Rest In Peace champion.

Henry was a gentleman in every sense of the word......a great boxer.....he was a credit to our Country

It's amazing how Coopers speech wasn't affected and his brain still in tact in his old age

What a nice gentleman. I can see why Ali liked him.

Besides being the Heavyweight Champ in England, and the Heavyweight Champ of Europe, Henry was clean cut, good family man that loved his home life. Never ever was the alley-cat that many successful boxers are today. Sportsmanship was a strong point with Henry Cooper and this splendid behavior should be followed upon. Even though I'm an American, I always rooted for Henry to win, even against our guys with exception to one, that being fellow traveler and former Heavyweight Champ, Floyd Patterson My boyhood boxing hero during the 50's, 60's, and 70's, he was also a classy gentleman, like Henry. In those days fighters were generally well behaved people, quick to praise an opponent they are about to fight and continue same praise after the fight. That was common back-in-the-day, but NOT today! Henry Cooper was much for England to be proud of! He stood tall, while today, they stand small!

Because of a guy like Henry Cooper i really like the british people.

Many of today's fighters could learn a lot about character from these old fellas. The were good people and they had mutual respect.

Henry Cooper was a great fighter....Ali respected him very much...case closed

Well done Sir Henry. Great man. Wish you lived longer!

To a man "our Henry" was liked by everyone who ever had the pleasure to meet him .

Cooper in 2011 brains undimmed - just a great, honest guy, with great insights. This kind of bloke is the backbone of England, imho.

Henry a proper gentleman R.I.P Henry

Cooper - great fighter, geat man.

Sir Henry Cooper OBE KSG (3 May 1934 - 1 May 2011)was an English heavyweight boxer known for the power of his left hook, "Enry's 'Ammer", and his knockdown of the young Muhammad Ali. Cooper held the British, Commonwealth and European heavyweight titles several times throughout his career, and unsuccessfully challenged Ali for the world heavyweight championship in 1966.

The British ALWAYS treated the young Ali better than the Americans. ALWAYS!!!

Henry Cooper. Top man. Lovely to see him and Ali friends with each other

In my lifetime the greatest example of a a brit, a great boxer but very humble not a ounce a braggart and a true british gent, he will never be replaced, sadly the modern generation are a joke

Love him and what an honest gentleman he was!never to a great boxer with excellent smile and cheerful person,you did your best,thanks a lot,will always be remembered,God bless your family.

Henry was a true gentleman and a great boxer, his problem was that he was easily cut above the eyes which was his downfall, his brother was also British champion and they refused to fight each other.

Henry, your ears weren't failing you, I could barely him either. RIP

Hats of to this man

Proud of you 'enry! A gentleman!

The people adored Henry. He was a national boxing hero. I struggle to think of an English Boxer more popular than him in his day. He was around when the heavyweight division had some very big names approaching their best.

I'll always remember when Ali came over the year before Sir Henry died and they had the horse-drawn carriage through The Mall and Horseguards together. Absolutely beautiful scene.

Good old 'Enry. So likeable I think because of his down-to-earthedness, his honesty. You just know that he was a thoroughly decent kind of bloke, good man to have a pint with.

Ali was a consummate showman, he knew how to put folks in the seats who hadn't followed boxing in the past. No question he was good for the sport and helped increase the gates. Sir Henry Cooper recognizes that and appreciates it.

see this man in southend for a night with henry cooper. what a gentleman and a legend, ill never forget that mans handshake! rip henry!

WHAT A WONDERFUL MAN ,A REAL CLASS ACT ......

Sir Henry Cooper a Legend.

Well deserved the title as Sir...... Henry Cooper.

Great Sir Henry Cooper !

Henry tells a story in his book during a road rage incident a man chases his car when Henry stops at a red light the man pulls Henry's door open when he realised who it was he asked him for his autograph .I think he was a wise man 😀😁😁

Just a Great decent English man. God bless yer

NOBRE, PROFISSIONAL, TRUE SIR. RESPEITABILISSIMO.🙏

This was the era when boxers were perfect gentlemen.sir henry,foreman,ali,frazier,never heard these true legends swear or use filthy language,they did not have to prove they were men

Classic legend!..gentleman at that ‼🥊

Great fighter. Well earned Sir Cooper.

"He put bums on seats" That is a great British way of putting things!

Such a lovely bloke

henry was lethal with the left hook but was always too small, even in the sixties. its known that he put weights in his boots for the weigh-ins so his real weight was more like 180lbs. had there been a cruiserweight division back then cooper would have been world champ for years. nice guy and a credit to the sport

Muhammad Ali was completely right about the Vietnam war

What s Gentleman.. So true,that punch rattled Ali. Afer the bell sounded Ali was in GaGa land. If 30 seconds were left. Who knows what could have happened. One Hellava fighter. Tough as nails. Glad they became friends. Sportsmanship.

Loved the interview

Nothing but admiration for Henry cooper , unfortunately the mould was broken when this man come along.

Sir Henry did not seem suffer even slightly from dementia it seems.

two beautiful human being ,and hard as nails both of them.

lovely bloke,

Sir Henry Cooper was a top class fella and I had the privilege and pleasure of meeting him when I was a kid.

Henry Cooper what a left hook. great fighter. if only he didn't cut so easy who knows what would have happened against Ali. Now that's a fight I pay to see. May they both Rip.

It turned out Ali was right about subscription to the army in my opinion. A very brave thing to do. Braver than going to kill people who he had no gripe with.

Rest in peace sir cooper

Ali is classic lmao, ‘he shook my relations in Africa’. Overall, Cooper’s a lovely bloke, honestly.

I really Ali was still alive. He was very entertaining.

An amazing human being. Rest in peace Henry, you are sorely missed 😢

Henry Cooper very proud for Ali.

Great guy/fighter. God lovem. 🙂

Good old Enry...lovely guy.

During ww2 Henry and his brother were evacuated from London, from what I've heard they use to work in my great grandfathers butcher shop during that time. It's nice to hear these stories from my grandad now, quality person Henry was, true gent.

Henry Cooper was a class act and so is Ahmed Malin for the respectful comment.

Henry is among the Greatest Boxers the world has ever seen..

I loved this man from the first interview I saw of him, which was this... This is despite the fact that I am Yemeni, and not even European.

Down to earth man great guy

Cooper loved Ali!!!

Ali clearly respected Cooper's punch. He was strangely subdued in the build up to this fight and must have been always wary psychologically that only Cooper had put him on the canvas at this point in his career.

such a nice guy.

Love Henry, saw him coming out of a shop in Tonbridge, would have loved to speak to him, as my granddad was a pro boxer in London, but was a bit shy, but regret speaking to him, he won every round with Ali and put him down, but those cuts were a pain....

God bless Henry Cooper.

Great ch

Ali told both Cooper and Bugner, "you can be the best that ever lived, but if you can't put the bums in the seats you can't make a living"

a real class act

Ali was *very* smart to keep away from Vietnam and also highlight the hyprocrisy behind that needless war, driven by the American Military Industrial Complex to drive war profits just as Syria, Yemen, Iraq and Afghanistan more recently.

He is so sweet at the end of the fight with Ali!!!!!!!!!! How he accepts he cant fight any longer….

There’s a funny scene between Ali and Cooper at the weigh in of their second fight in 1966. They’re standing close to one another and Ali reaches over and takes a pinch of skin and a bit of fat of Coopers midsection. Then Cooper reaches over and does the same. I thought it was a friendly gesture on Alis part and a sign of respect for Cooper, like joking around. No clowning or any words exchanged.

Henry’s hammer, that left took Ali straight back to the stone age

Great guy 👍

Our ‘Enery. RIP Sir. And to the great Muhammad Ali.

They had to stop the interview due to a cut over the eye

Our Henry.

SIR HENRY RIP - A GENTLEMAN !!

Respect from America.

Good old Henry ! Proper genuine guy but hard as nails ! Henry lost the will to live after the death of his wife of 48 years. RIP Henry

Our Enry! 👍🇬🇧💯

Sir Henry Cooper a true british hero, a real old school no nonesense pro!! Ali was lucky in the 1st fight that the bell came so soon, and he complained to the ref about some blows, always a good sign for the opponent, it would have been very interesting to see the outcome if henry didnt cut some much and could have carried on!!-i have a signed photo of him, and whenever i think of a example of a honest, clean living professional fighter, its him, to me he was everything a boxer should be!!! and a great personality who deserved his fame and respect from the british public----who knows maybe there has been a 3rd meeting with his mate ali in heaven, hm bless em both.

Our Henry

And Now Their Boxing In Heaven #RIPMuhammadAli & #RIPSirHenryCooper

Absolute gentleman....

Sir Henry Cooper, was a boxer who reminded my late brother Normans father in law of me because he often said I was a dead ringer for Henry Cooper with my looks and being left handed during 1960.

Wspaniały bokser!

Muhammad Ali was on a World Tour and throughout the years Henry Cooper and Muhammad Ali gotten even closer than they were at the end of their career's.

Great boxer

The bubble hasn’t changed in 50 years

I wish Ali were as sharp as Cooper was in his later years.

What a gentleman. And what a left hook.

Class act. RIP

Good old Henry miss him

What a respectable badass boxer. Humility ,and class. We have forgotten how to loose well, and win well in the states.

Tough cat. Much respect. Not many people can say they knocked The greatest down… but he can.

Henry Cooper is too dope

Good interview. Cooper was stopped due to cuts in both fights. He was a very sound boxer.

Wow super sharp, no signs of brain damage at all.
