while trying to appear witty to certain people. However, unlike you I will not<br />
get personal and stick to boxing facts and not personalities. Maybe you can do<br />
the same! |<br />

DAN CUNNINGHAM: apparently you do not read my posts carefully. Gerry Cooney was<br />
stopped by Larry Holmes. <strong>The</strong> same Larry Holmes who was repeatedly staggered by<br />
Mike Weaver, Holmes was dropped and almost knocked out by Renauldo Snipes, and<br />
Earnie Shavers. Holmes won disputed decisions over Tim Witherspoon, and Carl<br />
Williams; and lost to disputed decisions to Michael Spinks. Comparing Cooney's<br />
fight against Holmes to these fights against Holmes, and you see that Cooneys<br />
LOSING effort was not all that impressive. Gerry Cooney was knocked out by a<br />
overblown lightheavyweight, Michael Spinks. Gerry Cooney, was knocked out by a<br />
fat old man named George Foreman.Cooney had a glass jaw, and NO FIRE IN<br />
HIS BELLY. Almost all great fighter get knocked down in fights, but they climb<br />
off the canvass to win the fight. Cooney never did this, NOT EVEN ONCE IN HIS<br />
CAREER. It's called HEART, and Cooney never demonstrated. Holmes was a great<br />
fighter, and he had that FIRE IN HIS BELLY! I said it before and I will say it<br />
again, Cooney was the biggest hoax since Primo CarneraContenders Chuvalo<br />
beat whil they were still contenders: Doug Jones, Manuel Ramos, <strong>Jerry</strong><br />
<strong>Quarry</strong>.This is my last reply to Mr. Cunningham.|<br />

Francisco,Ca.||DGCSOCCER@AOL.COM||||10|Forest: George Chuvalo being a near 30<br />
fight veteran lost to Pete Rademacher who was 7-3-1 at the time. Bobick would<br />
have destroyed Rademacher. Chuvalo did beat Jones who was freshly defeated by<br />
Billy Daniels who <strong>Quarry</strong> would destroy in 1 rnd. 3 yrs. later. Chuvalo did beat<br />
Ramos who had already started to slide after being ko'd by Frazier. Ramos<br />
descend merited him a 26-29 record. Perhaps not a name you would want to use to<br />
add for credibility to your case for Chuvalo. One fighter and one fighter only<br />
do I see as being a credible contenter and that was <strong>Quarry</strong>. Chuvalo got the gift<br />
of his life that night. Cooney on the other hand had a crossroads fight with<br />
another winning fighter, Eddie Lopez which Cooney won. Cooney fought (tried) to<br />
fight ST Gordon who ran away from Cooneys left hooks and was disqualified.<br />
Gordon later was cruiserweight champion defeating a great warrior named Yaqui<br />
Lopez, Carlos Deleon, Jesse Burnett and Trevor Berbick. Cooney also fought a 35-<br />
2 Dino Dennis who he destroyed as well as Norton,Lyle and Young. Yes Weaver gave<br />
Holmes a competitive fight as did Snipes but to think it was a Gatti-Ward fight<br />
would be misleading. Your prior posts demonstrate a lot of anger toward Cooney<br />
and I'm not quite sure where its coming from. In the Holmes fight, I wish Cooney<br />
had came out and forgot about the 15 rnds and made it into a fight as opposed to<br />
a chess match which he lost. I believe Cooney was never the same fighter again<br />
although he did defeat a 23-1 Eddie Gregg, a 22-6 George Chaplin and a 22-0 Phil<br />
Brown. Cooney was unstable and never the same fighter when he fought Spinks and<br />
Foreman although Foreman states that Cooney had him out but he didn't follow up.<br />
I believe Foreman also became heavyweight champion after his Cooney fight,<br />
ko'ing Moorer. If Eddie Futch stated to Cooney before he died that if Cooney had<br />
let Futch be his trainer, he would have been heavyweight champion of the world.<br />
That I believe. As I believe that if Clancy had had him earlier, Cooney would<br />
have been a better fighter. I believe that Mike Tyson was a great fighter but<br />
he never once got off the canvas to win a fight. Continuing your career after<br />
being ko'd and trying to improve on your mistakes against the<br />
same/similar/better competition as opposed to weaker competition also shows<br />
heart! I don't see Chuvalo fighting comparitive fighters to Cooney after his
