Did prime Foster have enough power to derail prime Cooney?

Cooney destroys him. Foster lacked the speed and skill to win this one.

Of course he did. Cooney didn't have the sturdiest chin. It could be a wild one, though.

I don't remember Cooney being rocked all that much in his fights.
He had a huge neck.

Holmes; Foreman; Michael Spinks. All his best opponents and all KO'd him. He rarely got hit before he fought Holmes.

Cooney was rocked indeed. But by those, who were over Mac Foster level, that's right. I favour Cooney.
