yeh he was. genuine gentleman of the prizefighting ring that will be missed dearly. he twice won the BBC Sport's personality of the year and was adored by the British public. Boxing needs more gentleman of Sir Henry's calibre

Sad news, RIP.

Great left hook, Henry. Just great. God Bless You.

perhaps the most popular fighter ever from the uk henry always gave his all with honor.a gentleman and a credit image wise to the game.

WTF I seen several articles now saying Cooper was the first to knock Ali down. Which is not true. God, do these writer's even bother to research.
