When my grandmother visited recently, I thought the same. "She looks to be in good shape, I'll give her a go!" and so I popped her on the chin, not considering the large set of stairs behind her. And so she fell, was taken to the hospital, and I think she's gone into a vegetative state. Regardless to say I'm writing you from jail right now, having learned my lesson about overestimating recent visitors. ... Did you say recent victors?
Every time a ranked heavyweight or lighter weight star wins the forum lights up with their names. Average wins are almost as if they've beaten ATG's and if they have a big win, lookout! It's like boxing didn't exist previously.
If only this forum had seen me in my prime - scraping past tomato cans by the narrowest of margins. Folks would’ve been seriously debating whether Joe Louis could’ve handled me.
Dubois's track record vs big fighters stands out as an indication he can take Cooney's best punches. That said, those fighters didn't have Cooney's overall skills. Interesting match up. I think Cooney may be able to outbox him over 12 rounds. He held his own with a prime Holmes who is far better than Dubois.
Hi, posters that have voted for Dubois I have one simple question What is wrong with you? Sincerely yours, Mandela
I’d argue that it’s living in 1982 to expect a guy who never beat a top ten contender and got knocked out every time he fought someone with a pulse to beat Dubois, who has already beaten multiple contenders and belt holders.
Dubois has already accomplished far more than Cooney though. It's not recency bias to favor the guy who is far more proven. Frankly picking Cooney seems borderline disrespectful to the far more accomplished Dubois
