    Once again the pompous Perry has spoken. Cooney had a good straight right and a good jab..... I suggest you watch him instead of reading a Nat Fleischer protege description. When you get into a ring let's us know so we can take you serious. Most right handers have serious torque in their left hook if they throw it right instead of slapping or arm punching Cooney and Frazier both through it beautifully with feet, hips and body into it Cooney threw it harder he was bigger by a good deal. Cooney had great leverage when throwing he rocked Foreman with it and wasn't even set very well.... He hit him with the hook as he comes in before setting down.

    I'm from NY Rich. I watched Cooney from his amateur days. Watched all his pro bouts. I know Cooney.....you do not.

    Gerry was a great hooker. No right hand. No defense. Not very durable. Now show everyone you know what those phrases mean as boxing terminology. You don't so I have no great hope for you.

    Once again Dingle Perry you have outdone yourself the vernacular is regional not just New York meaning is your way of watching TV on boxing where a new Yorker he is a good left hooker but limited everywhere else..... I watched him I suspect you haven't or you would remember that his KO.s were 2 handed attacks with emphasis on the hook..... Jesus you know these fights are on YouTube right?????

    Rich.....you are completely lost.

    Learn the history of the sport and its terminology before you write another post that further embarasses you.

    Quote from Cooney prior to his bout with Holmes:

    "I get a lot of criticism about my right hand but I think it's getting better all the time. I've been working and working. I keep using it and the more you use it, the more confidence you get in it."

    Liston once lost a fight against Marty Marshall where he suffered a broken jaw. Against Cooney he would also lose but this time along with his jaw,would also get a few ribs and a eye socket broken as well.

    Cooney by brutal early KO.

    Rich.....I belonged to several NY boxing gyms for many years. Watched Ali, Foreman, Shavers train...Watched Ali train many many times. Went to Ali Norton 3. You are the novice and it's PAINFULLY obvious. Find another sport to pretend to know.

    Your last post proves your lameness. No idea what you are talking about. Pathetic individual.

    Debating with Perry one must feel its like debating with someone who found a way out of a white room at times! You completely showed him where hes digging his holes and burying himself...ive even pointed out a Norton RIGHT hand K.O to him.....he talks about being lost but someone should escort him back to the nut house.:crazylick:
