    Jack that is. The unpredictable, emotional Sharkey..
    Up against the thunderous power of Gerry Cooney.?
    Sharkey, who stopped loughran in 3 against Gerry who blasts Norton.
    1930 s rule sets and 15 rounds.

    Cooney, the softest rose petal of a boy ever to don the mitts gets taken out in 4. You people need to be real about Cooney. He never showed he could beat a live contender. The guys aren't gonna just lay on the ropes like old Young and Lyle. And Looney with his newborn giraffe balance no defense. Telegraphed punches. No heart or chin is getting sacked EVERY time. I really question the reasons behind those who back this bum. History does not back you up. Sweet sweet Geri falls again. Then cries again. Then blames others again. Then his loonies say how good he looked in the 2nd round right before he was dropped 12 times. Pathetic. Good night sweet sweet Geri!!!!!!

    COONEY AN ALLTIME GRRRRRREEEEEEAAAATTTTTT!!!!! ESPECIALLY AFTER 28 WINS, AND NONE OVER ANY TOP TENER'S!

    Cooney is like the white boy alltime tournament champion for Boxing Rec, While Jerry Quarry 53 win's and defeated at least 9 who were ranked in the top gets knocked out by 168 pound Bob Fitzsimmons! early in the tournament!

    My fav of all time by KO IN 3? I AGREE. A PRIME DEMPSEY WOULD TAKE SHARKEY INSIDE 3 ROUNDS.

    You know why God invented whiskey?,,,,to keep the Irish from ruling the world. It also kept Gerry from better showings. I'll take Cooney to take this one early too...despite so many of Morlock's points about him being true. Hey, sometimes boxing and logic mix like oil and water.

    I would be inclined to favor Sharkey, who did better work against the contenders of his era.
