Not speed. Skills kill...When you can't defend yourself against your opponents combinations, then you'll get stopped, no matter how big and/or strong you are.
@donkeykongcoin IF COULDA WOULDA mean's little or nothing when he's getting ko'd or stopped by a a man 5 inches shorter and three stones lighter than himself , who did Cooney ko or beat when he was at his supposed peak a old washed up Norton and ........ nope not much of anyone else . LET'S be real with one another he was only built on hype as the white hope . If he was black we wouldn't remember him

Spinks vs Hopkins would have been a great strategic fight. Because both are clever and crafty.Very interesting.

If Cooney had a right hand worth a shit and a chin, and defense. In short he sucked.

@delirious44 - Gerry Cooney was sadly a shell of his former self that night. If he had been more motivated and in better shape he could have won.
