Wlad is much better than Cooney. Cooney lacked a right hand, had average defense, average confidence, wasn't as quick with his hands, and might have even more suspect chin and stamina in comparion to Wlad. Outside of the proverbial puncher's chance which Cooney always has, Wlad is going to out land him, easily out jab him, land his best first, and likely win in the early to mid rounds.
