    Cooney by knockout. Mesi could barely take Jirovs punches.

    Conney is becoming under rated these days. At his best he was a big man with a huge punch and fair skills. You could say Cooney would be much better off with the 12 round distance.

    Mesi was an over acheiver type with decent hand speed, and power, but not in Cooney's class. He was lucky to escape with a win in two fights.

    Cooney via KO.

    Cooney would annihilate Mesi and afterward be criticised for kayoing a soft opponent.

    Cooney in 2 or 3. Mesi was a good fighter, but Cooney has all the advantages.
