PrimeforPrimeTheyre capable of stopping each other I Believe Sanders bombs outCooney Sanders surprises Cooney with a big Straight left. SandersKO4
If they fought 10 times, I wouldn't be surprised if they each won five a piece. Both were big men with destructive power.. Both did their best work in the early rounds and were fast starters.. Both men's biggest punch was the left.. Another thing that they both had in common was neither had a tremendous chin and neither had terrific stamina, although Cooney did go 13 competitive rounds with Holmes, but Sanders has the claim to having the better win over Wlad... To many things in common to make any solid convictions, but I am willing to bet that it would be a fun fight to watch for however long or short it went...
I think Sanders would always have blown out Cooney. Cooney was devastating, but very slow and hittable. Sanders had lightning quick hands, southpaw advantage, and overwhelming power in both hands. Sanders was also known for starting fast. I say Sanders in 1 or 2 rounds.
If they fought 20 times Sanders would have won at least 19 . While i often c that his power became overrated and his chin somewhat underrated , his handspeed is still somewhat underrated . If Michael Spinks counterpunched Cooney 2 a stoppage and Holmes stopped him , then Sanders would have had n easy night . Sanders Blitz1 Cooney . Another possibility : Sanders Blitz2 Cooney . Less probably but still : Sanders Blitz3 Cooney :yep Cooney was shite anyway .
