once said that sensible people never argue with a fool, but here I am responding
to your posts. Neither Ward or John need me supporting them,particularly when it
only involves a battle of wits with you. The reason I posted about you is
because your attitude is offensive. Because Ward had the gall to disagree with
you, you told him that you only read his post because you "once again need a
laugh." You said something similar to John. And then you demeaned the rest of us
when you commented about the "trumped up truth presented here" on this site.
Further, Dan, your use of words suggests that you have a superior intellect to
the rest of us (for example, you accused Ward of not having a "generic
understanding" of boxing). Frankly, people that have the need to demean others
by writing in the superior tone that you use are usually insecure little
upstarts. |

"Cooney hater". I respect any man who gets in the ring and gives it his all. I
just can't understand why we can't assess Cooney for what he was: a big strong
guy with a very good left hook , mediocre technical skills and a glass jaw. I
never once claimed Chuvalo was great or even near great. I respect him for what
he was: a very game, strong, incredible durable and brave guy who fought some of
the best ever. Neither man was championship material. As for Lewis having a
glass jaw, I must disagree. It is his weakest point as a fighter, but I never
said Lewis was a great one. He would be in the bottom of my top 15 list (if I
had one). I think Holmes would have taken Lewis to shool. He was a shade faster,
I think hit harder, and was a lot meaner.|

an excellent fighter ! He hadgood power, the best chin of all times and gave
Ali' two tough fights. Just for this hedeserves a lot of respect
!!!!!!!!!!|

admit, Dan sticks by his fighter. He is a dedicated Cooney fan just as most of
us are dedicated Jerry Quarry fans.I agree that Cooney was a good if
flawed fighter and I agree he was a bonafide contender, but flawed he was. He
did have a monster left hook and he was one punch away from victory in any
fight.I disagee with whoever said Cooney's fight with Holmes was not one
of Hoplmes' tougher defenses. He gave an in prime Holmes a good fight. Someone
lists a lot of Holmes tougher defenses but I think the ones that came between
1978 to 1982 deserve more credit as that was Holmes at his best. For example,
Michael Spinks fought Holmes in 1985 the first time and 1986 the second time.
Those were close fights and although Spinks was given decisions both times,
there is some disagreement about the verdicts, especially the second fight. I
thought Spinks won a narrow victory in the first fight but Holmes won the seocnd
one. Still, Spinks caught Holmes on the way down and I doubt he would have been
as competitive with an in prime Larry Holmes.|

Hey Dano, Cooney was protected.He did have a good left hook and was strong.I
disagree with the others that say he had a glass jaw.If he did,Holmes can't
punch a lick and we all know better than that.Gerry stood up to Holmes and
landed some good shots too.Cooneys idiot managers just didn't bring him along
