[edit] Henry Cooper

I feel that some mention of Ali's first fight with Henry Cooper should be included in this article. Ali was clearly the better fighter but he was letting the fight go on to make a decent show of it, rather than finishing Cooper early, and so underestimated Cooper. Cooper managed to land a very hard punch on Ali that knocked him down and it was only Angelo Dundee's quick and shrewd thinking that bought enough time for Ali to recover sufficiently for the next round and win the match. Without Dundee, this fight would/could have been an embarressing over-confidence blot on the Ali legend. I would add something myself, but the article seems to flow so well as it is, it is difficult to see where to put this in. To me this ranks up with the ropes incident in terms of Dundees unorthodox but brilliant handling of his fighters. WhizzBang 23:04, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
