gerry cooney vs primo carnera...

Agreed.. No need for me to bump this one anymore.

 

Not a bad fight. Primo by knockout late for me, though I could see the argument for a Ku-Nee knockout

 

If the best argument that you can make for him is that he gave somebody a decent fight, in a losing effort, then that is a very underwhelming case.

 

Had his management kept him active and given him a few more fights before Holmes, that'd have went a long way towards making me more comfortable in my prediction. There's just not much of GC at his best to go on.

 

COONEY JUMPS ON PRIMO EARLY TKO 3

 

Carnera more proven at world level so you have to go with him probably late ko

I have both getting knocked down A couple of times and any time Carnera started to pick up some momentum he would hold or foul. I think that would keep Morrison pissed and motivated. I think at some point the pace would wind down and Morrison. Would settle for a lopsided decision in 12. Maybe 115-110 area to 115-112.

 

Cooney gets alotta ink on boxing 24, he's not an alltime great, 28-3 no significant wins of the top ten of his time NONE!
AND NOT EVEN CLOSE TO A TOP 5 FIGHTER (none)
Anyone swinging back beat him, HOLMES, SPINKS AND FOREMAN.

However thats not saying Gentleman Gerry would not have a chance, you watch Carnera's feet, very little movement and he was not used to fighting men of Cooney's size and left hand sock, sure Baer etc. And Carnera had a chin , so good matchup

Something tells me Carnera by 8 Round TKO.
