Corrie sanders vs gerry cooney...

[THE PHILOSOPHER]

Both men are considered vitali and holmes best win, how would they match up with each other?

Sanders 6ft4 inch Southpaw with a record of 42-4:



Cooney 6ft6inch orthodox with a 31-3 record:

[El Kabong]

Interesting matchup....I think it obviously ends in a KO, but I'm not certain who wins. Both fighters could be chinny. I guess I will take Cooney as pre Holmes Cooney was just a massive power puncher and a very solid fighter and Corrie Sanders never seemed to have his full heart in boxing which is a shame because he had tons of potential.

[beenKOed]

I'll pick Sanders, Gerry had a great left hook but no defense. Sanders was better overall, in my opinion.

[Master]

Cooney knocks out Sanders with his left hook. THE END.

[Spicoli]

Gotta go Sanders I spose. Guy had some pretty fast hands and solid awkward power getting in and out. In top form I think they'd be at two different speeds entirely.

Damn I had no idea Cooney was 6'6" until now !

Always thought he was about 6'2" or so.

Anyway its tough to say as I haven't seen that many of either guy's fights. Spicoli is correct in saying Sanders was faster, and he was probably more durable as well.

[Mctaggert]

awww god I really don't know, I think Cooney as long as it's the Cooney who fought Kenny Norton. Quick KO if he lets thaf left hook go quickly, I think if Gerry was not so akward that left could have been the hardest punch in boxing.

[ICB]

Gerry Cooney he beat better fighters like Ron Lyle, Jimmy Young, Ken Norton, and was more durable i think. Corrie Sanders was talented but he wasn't dedicated, so i'll give it to Gerry Cooney via knockout in a see-saw battle like the Rahman-Sanders fight.

Well if u have seen say Cooney v Holmes or Cooney v Norton , or Cooney v Spinks .

Did you not think the 6'2 Cooney was about 3-4 inches tallers than them , making Homes under 6 feet ?

For the record i go for Sanders via 2 round KO.

[Dia bando]

Cooney was a one trick pony, Holmes made him look a plodding donkey and beat him easy, Sanders
would have Ko Gerry in a few rounds.

I have seen Cooney vs. Holmes a few times as well as Cooney vs. Foreman.

I did not notice a glaring difference in height and after some reserach into his height, Cooney has been listed from 6'4" to 6'7" with 6'6" seeming to be the most common billed height.

He also is not a fighter to stand straight up when boxing so his height never appeared to be that great in my estimation as say the Klitschko brothers who fight quite tall.

He appeared roughly the same height as Holmes or Foreman, both of whom are 6'3".
