    Twenty round s between Champ James J Jeffries and probably the biggest, heaviest challenge of his career.
    But this is Jeff s era and rules and Cooney s been trained and brought along in that time.

    Is there a chance of Jeff getting stopped here?

    Cooney is too unique of a size matchup for Jeffries for me to make any kind of prediction

    I don’t think Gerry can go 20 but then again I’m not sure he’d have to. He was pretty dangerous offensively and Jeffries’ defense was shaky

    Definitely think Cooney had the power to hurt him early, damage his face up definitely like old Fitz did.

    You could make it a hundred rounds, prime Cooney is still blasting him out in 2.

    If it lasts more than 5 rounds, Cooney is toast.
