Gerry Cooney vs Razor Ruddock

awesome matchup. Is it me or is ruddock durable as ****? Rid dock gets dropped round one then weathers the storm to tko 6 cooney great matchup

 

If Gerry were to have beaten Ruddock, it would have had to have been by a quick knockout with an all out assault with nothing from RR getting through in the process.

 

Ruddock was only chinny after the Tyson wars. Razor by devastating KO!:!:

 

This. I don't see Ruddock missing The Smash.

 

Cooney by stoppage

 

Cooney round 5 KO

 

The Cooney that fought Holmes would beat any version of Ruddock in my opinion...

Cooney could have been a lot better but he let than loss the Holmes pretty much ruin his career, too much inactivity, and lack of confidence...

 

^ this

 

You wouldn't think a guy named Donovan would be tough enough to have a nick name like Razor. But, like Tyson said "he hits like a f@#$ mule kick," and - Cooney's chin wasn't conducive to mule kicks. I'll take DRR, by a devastating brain scrambling, nose flattening, head flying off the shoulders knock out.

 

For God's sake im gonna keep saying it...Cooney is the most over rated HW on here.
Ruddock wins.
Cooney came to prominence with the most glued together resume ever.He blasted out a few shot 'names' who were right at the arse end of their career.
He was well marketed aided by his skin colour and yes to be fair he put up a good show v Holmes.After that he did nothing,zilch,nada,a bit fat zero.
In younger days he was a capable slugger but he had crude skills and poor discipline outside the ring.
I just don't get the clamour for him.

 

This is one of those fights that could really go either way, so I can't choose a victor with any certainty. Both were big men with devastating power and signature left hand punches. Both men showed they could take a beating at times, while also being blasted out early at others. Cooney was a fast starter who could have taken out just about anyone if he got his way early in the fight. The longer it goes however, the more Donoven would have to be favored. Toss up for me.

 

Gentleman Gerry certainly sends a shiver down my spine

 

I actually think Donovan is a pretty cool name.
