Hi there and welcome to BYC. I have been raising aseels which are a gamefowl for the past decade but however as I am located in a tropical area so my cocks don't usually feel the cold as much as there is in Alaska. They can tolerate cold though but as you said that the rooster might have been fought and in such a scenario the weakness he had might be due to injuries he might be having which made him weak and reduced his immunity to the cold. I suggest you try to keep him warm and I assure you he'll be ok as gamefowl are very hardy birds you will just love them. 

p.s. can you post a picture of your roo and his girls.

Thank u soo much I think your right as I went to check him today after work he seems much much better with all the modifications to the coop and heat lamp dropped. He is is actually more energetic running to me as he knows I'm there to take care of him which made me soo happy

he had the strength to almost mount 1 of the hens

Lol which he hasn't done in almost a week now, much better but he seems still weak sitting down and at least he's eating drinking on his own now. I think your right he must of been suffering from hypo and previous injuries. I feel so bad he had to suffer in the cold to that point

. I have not bred him if he makes it I hope breed him soon in spring....well keep y'all updated thanks Roo den
