    cooney is very big and very strong but he'd never be know for winning a foot race or throwing like ray robinson ... he was a bit slow and by 86 he was even slower .. Tyson in 86 was workin the willy and the tear drop bag.. he was a head mover .. he'd see cooney coming from the free way .. it'd be a friggin slaughter .. Tyson is gonna drop him in the first maybe twice ...but cooney is a big boy he can take a punch ..so he's gonna probably get up .. and make it out of the round .. IF his corner sends him out .. Tyson finishes him within the first minute of the 2nd round ... this one is ugly ugly ugly

    if Tyson fights a ken Norton version of cooney It might end earlier ... cooney is gonna be more likely to open up and that's gonna open him up for Tysons bombs .. his speed still isn't gonna be great so Tyson is gonna see him coming ... cooney just aint got the speed to deal with Tyson ..and Tyson is big enough of a tank to not be crowded by cooneys size .. he will want that closeness for when he bounces his uppercut off cooneys stuck out jaw and plants him on his butt
