Weaver was so shot he almost beat Ruddock. Witherspoon got his ass kicked and his teeth knocked out, blowing a career high payday against Tyson. He and Tucker were the only two to go the distance in title fights with a prime Tyson. So Bruno won or lost?
Agreed ... None of this matters guys ... the question is how would Cooney do against a man with Crushers strengths where were a terrific chin, massive physical strength, massive power he kept late, size .. a man who Cooney would likely not take out fast sine Witherspoon couldn't and and Tyson couldn't .. Coonery never had that sort of test, ever ... instead the put him in with ridiculous soft touches after Young to keep high flight reel victories with next to no risk ..
Cooney would start off well but find a way to lose. Cooney has said the drinking and drugs really ramped up after the Norton fight he had too much time between Norton and Holmes to hang out with the Hollywood crowd and he was a regular at Studio 54 during that time.
This dude got outworked by Marvis Frazier and struggled with Rodrigues Cooney has to be a favorite on paper
