coooney never got any good punches in
i think when cooney fought mike spinks his great left hook wasnt the same , he had bad shoulder injuriries and his shoulder never was the same
he could still hit hard but it wasnt the same
coke and running arouind hurt cooney also

i think if the cooney who showed up for ken norton or larry holmes fought mike spinks spinks would of been in trouble
i seen cooney hit heavybags before holmes fight and i watched him hit it before both the forman and spinks fight,it was not the same when it came to hand speed our punching power
cooney back in the day was devestating
when he fought later in his career he had to lay in a bed of ice every night just to get through a workout,his rotator was torn,,
