The only thing this has in common with Holmes Cooney is that the favorite it black and the underdog is white. There isn't any race baiting going on over this fight, and Hatton, wheither you think he has a chance or not, Hatton is a fully developed fighter in his prime. Cooney was prospect who got rushed and exploited. Cooney would have never beat Holmes, but he could have been a much better fighter if he wasn't handled so poorly.

So, no, this ain't Holmes Cooney.
