Joe Bugner RIP ...

Sad news decent heavyweight was Joe, he was never really liked after he beat an aging Henry Cooper.

RIP Joe Bugner.

Henry Cooper must’ve been ancient because I remember Joe Bugner fighting. It was the end of his career and he had tits rather pecs but it was a big fight.

RIP Joe. Big Swans fan.

People close to him, always said he never punched his full weight again - after boxer Ulric Regis died from brain injuries soon after losing to Bugner in March 1969!!

Many people talk about him twice going the distance with Ali - but forget he also went the distance with Joe Frazier, Ron Lyle etc

He also fought in an era (1960's/1970's) when heavyweights fought 7/8/9/10 times a year.

RIP

It was a close decision, but Joe got it, but lots thought it was a fit up, Cooper himself thought he'd won it.
