Heavyweights: Gerry Cooney vs. Chuck Wepner

Post by scorpio83 »

10 or 12 Rounds Heavyweight Bout

Cooney's jabs, body punching and a crushing left hook to either stop Wepner on the cut eye stoppage in the first or second rounds or knock him out. What do you guys think and who do you got?

I've always been surprised that this bout wasn't made in 1978.

Remember how bad Cooney cut Jimmy Young? It would basically be like that in four rounds or less.

Cooney at his best would easily deal with Wepner. The stoppage would be guaranteed either on cuts or on the sheer dominance of Gerry.

Gerry wins by 8th round TKO, but Chuck will still be standing.
