    Mesi probably outboxes him early and maybe drops him, then fades mid-late and gets put away by a right hand.

    Mesi could beat Cooper but his punch resistance was pretty suspect and Cooper's lone quality was power (and the reckless application of it) ... I think Cooper might KO him

    Agreed. I think if Mesi came out in great form he would be able to jump on Bert and get the job done while avoiding the most dangerous of the return fire. Outside of a special "on point" kind of performance I see Cooper connecting cleanly and that being the end of the story.

    Cooper via KO.

    Mesi couldn't really take a punch that well. He'd get caught eventually.

    Mesi's issue was stamina. His punch resistance (and ability to avoid punches) slipped more and more with each passing round.

    Agreed. Cooper was always fun to watch and Mesi matches up with him well stylewise.
