If these two had actually signed to fight in 1984 how would it have gone? Cooney two years removed from his loosing attempt at holmes. How would his confidence have been at this stage? Thomas heading towards a world title, showing signs of potential but would he have played it safe against cooney, tried to out box him from the outside or would he have been more aggressive, perhaps try to go better than holmes? And how would cooney react in this fight, as a possible way back for him?
Gotta go with Thomas. He was at his peak. Cooney, meanwhile, was rusty. He had the chin to take Cooney's shots. Not sure, Gerry could take his best rights though. Thomas by mid rounds tko.
