    Gerry Cooney vs Tommy Morrison.

    Both guys built up impressive KO records and fought some of the best fighters of their day.

    Both men have 3 losses coming by TKO and have similar KO%.

    Who takes this battle of the whiteys?

    If I could interrupt your couples therapy for a moment, I'll comment on the fight. We just did this one about two weeks ago, but this gives me a chance to get it right. I've decided to switch to Cooney...I think he barrages Tommy early and gets him out of there. That's my instinct on the matter...I overthought it last time.

    Whatever happened to Combatdeboxeo? What a pestilence he was...he would pick Foreman over a rabid grizzly bear and argue to the death over it.

    All I know is anyone who would bet on this fight really does not need their money. Cooney could easily do a "Bentt-job" on Morrison, but a focused Tommy had a more complete arsenal, was faster and actually had some head movement.

    Morrison may have been more talented and he certainly amassed the deeper resume in my opinion but I see this going a focused Cooney's way any day of the week. I think he hit harder than Morrison and his chin was far, far better at his peak.
