    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.
    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".

    "You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"

    He knew you were watching and was fighting short to fool you. Teddy has explained this many times.
