    Leaning towards Cooney but this one might be good. Two big dudes who could punch

    Cooney in 4, but Savarese had underrated infighting skills so it'd be a great fight tbh

    Cooney whacks him out of there early, much quicker, better technique, similar size, more skilled, Savarese is outmatched.

    Would be a quick but fun action fight. I see Cooney getting Lou out of there in the first 3 rounds.

    Gee, another fight where I can confidently pick Cooney. Doesn't happen often

    Cooney by 4th round stoppage.

    Savarese was a tough kid but is fair prey for Cooney

    Who gives a F? Seriously. Lou Savarese?

    Another insanely pointless HW thread.

    What kind of question is this? Lol.

    Cooney would annihilate Saverese.

    Cooney comfortably a level above, but Savarese is a great gatekeeper/contender type. Big Lou was at the edges of championship several times, no pushover.

    Cooney has to find his moxy to beat Lou. Lou will be trouble until Cooney gets angry enough. We all wish Cooney would have had this type of opponent right before the Holmes fight.
