Liston had the edge in jab, reach?, two handed power, better technique and punch repertoire Cooney had height a good jab and arguably the most powerful left hook. I believe Cooney was 6 foot 6. Who takes it and how? Cooneys gotta get him out early, or Sonny will break him down. Can Sonnys jab be as effective against a biggerman in Cooney. Thoughts?
Cooney was susceptible to jabs in the Holmes fight. Imagine Sonny's jab catching Gerry. Cooney would be broken and bloody by the mid-rounds.
