    I've rewatched this fight because im bored and Holmes looks A1 just like the Cobb fight. Cooney looked world class too and had some success. The fight was competitive I dont think it's a case of Holmes being leaps and bounds above Cooney.

    Because sometimes smaller fighters are better? What’s the question here?
