Rashan Sankofa I wouldn't say anyone who takes out the great Norton,mad psycho hard punching Ron lyle and crafty slick boxer Young is no joke . That's why I rate Holmes win Gerry cooney was a great heavy weight contender .on the night the great Larry Holmes was even greater
I like Gerry's attitude. You can tell he is just so happy being there. It cracked me up the way he was speaking like he was telling a delicious secret. Enjoy yourself Gentleman Gerry Cooney.
I want fury to win . Just hope it's not a couple of fights to early for him . He looks in better shape again . But just think wilder will be to quick with that right hand . Don't rate wilder as a boxer . But you can't doubt there's big and quick power in that right hand . Cone on fury bring it home lad
Fury has superior skill and ring intelligence to wilder, he's fought better opponents, might be a bit too early but he feels he's ready, should be a good fight.
agree completely jasmine..i personally would've liked tyson to have 1/2 more tune up fights but dont forget what he said bout being hw champ before the end of the year? his stock will go through the roof if he pulls it off..which i believe he will,respect ✌👊
@@hughmungus1235 it's true but his last 2 fights looked awful skill wise . Wasn't great . But i believe he's in a lot better shape now then he was in last fight . I think the mind games fury has been doing to wilder will help as he looks shook . Just hope he pulls it off . ❤
@@jasminegriffiths9468 true, but he was in it for the stamina that's why he took it the full rounds, and meh, he was fighting useless opponents so no need to show what he's got yet. I hope he wins, I'm pretty certain he will do.
and that was after Cooney had been inactive and battling drug and alcohol addiction and had been in rehab. Foreman had been very active and getting back into fighting form whereas Cooney had done nothing prior to the fight. Foreman picked Cooney because he was a "name" that was relatively safe. Foreman didn't choose one of the active top ten fighters to face.
+randy johnson yeah but foreman did sparr Cleveland Williams and sonny liston both very powerful heavyweights .look at the 2 liston vs William fights and you will see the power they had .foreman and liston were good friends
Electric Spyboy - LOL...............you can't be serious. Neither were flash knockdowns and especially the one in the 12 round wasn't. Fury looked like he'd been killed initially. I'm glad he got back up and got a few shots in before the bell.
Spyboy - Come on, man. Please don't talk disrespectfully to me by asking me how long I have been watching boxing just because I disagree with you. And, I WANTED Fury to win. The last knock down was genuine and I'm glad Fury got up. LOL.........and you think Wilder is my hero???? I can't stand the guy.
Foreman said Cooney was one of the 3 hardest punchers he ever faced. He said Gerry Cooney, Ron Lyle and Cleveland Williams, and if you watch Cooney vs Norton I don't think anyone could argue with that. The guy was a beast. But anyway.. GO TYSON!!
@@tonyroberts7652 Ron Lyle. Fk would I have not liked to be hit by him. I have his autographed pic on my wall just because some of the greats back then say that Lyle punched like a mule. Imagine him in this crop now. Def would be a world champion
So lets be serious for a second. Who has Wilder actually fought? Think about it. Old Ortiz? Fury is 3 times better then Ortiz. Ortiz has terrible movement compared to Fury. This is a overhyped fight and simple win for Fury unless Fury has totally gone downhill.
Ortiz has terrible movement? You know nothing about boxing if you think that. Cubans are taught foot movement first and foremost. Ortiz has very good movement
im a fury fan but sorry, he is not "3 times better than ortiz". you underrate wilder also. wilder has good timing, good jab and good power. I hope fury does it but wilder is favourite here
Gerry was a very underrated fighter, in my mind he was one of the greats, a REAL fighter who fought the best and won or put up a great showing. Very tough fighter
Cooney was great. Knocking out Lyle and Norton back to back first round KO’s then fight of the year with Holmes. Gets forgotten about because of how great the 80s were
Ya know, Gerry Cooney might have been the best heavyweight when he was in his prime. He had some personal issues and he had some management issues. It kind of derailed his career when he was in his prime. But when he was at his absolute best, he was a real force to be reckoned with. Nobody had an answer for that left hook to the body. Nobody. That left hook to the body was something that was rarely ever seen in the heavyweight division. Cooney fought later on against guys like Spinks and Foreman, but that wasn't Cooney in his prime. The Cooney I will always remember was the guy who challenged Holmes when Holmes was in his prime. In my mind, Gerry Cooney will always be remembered as one of the best heaveyweights ever. On a side note, George Foreman said Cooney was the hardest puncher he ever faced. And this (George Foreman) is the man who was known as maybe the hardest hitter ever! Anyway, Cooney is a class act. Props to Cooney.
The night he beat Norton, I'm not sure anybody could have took him. He broke ribs routinely. If you listen with headphones you can hear Ron Liles ribs break.
Cooney is mostly remembered as a white hope that was knocked out by Holmes but the reality is far different. He was a superb boxer with incredible accuracy and excellent power. It took a prime Holmes 13 to put him away. Cooney would have knocked out either Wilder or Fury in his prime.
Cooney was a ridiculously great finisher. His left hook surprised many he fought. Norton said everything Cooney did surprised him. To be fair though, Cooney could have beat anyone that night.
If Povetkin is a B rated fighter, 125 Ameteur wins and 7 losses, all 7 loses avenged....Olympic gold medalist in Athens 2004, and professional world champion with his only loss to Klitchsko....if that dude is a B rated fighter what's Ortiz?😂😂😂😂 I think this man took too many shots to the head tbh.
You've got to love Gerry. This fight will be like game of chess. Can Wilder figure it all out,if he can he wins, if he can't he will get very frustrated, tired and busted up in the late rounds.
I had never heard cooney talk until just now ( I'm 32 ). I just watched highlights of his Larry Holmes fight in the 80's and I was worried Holmes may have given him brain damage. It's great to see him coherent and loving life.
Yep. Said that on Letterman. Right after their fight, Foreman said he'd never been hit that hard. Foreman looks less relaxed and more determined to get Cooney out. Cooney was always dangerous with that left.
Did he just say people are ducking Wilder? Dillian Whyte? Breazeale? These guys have been calling him out. He is looking for a big money fight just like every other fighter
Tyson didn’t look too pleased to see Gerry .. looked like he kinda snubbed him ... probably has to do with the fact that Gerry predicted that Deontay would win during that showtime Q&A session ???

Gerry was a real fighter, nice to see him enjoying life
Gerry Cooney loving life!
@aaron pryor Larry Holmes an all time great? He couldn't even beat Brian neilson
@Rashan Sankofa And what are you ? Why dont YOU be quiet !!!
Rashan Sankofa I wouldn't say anyone who takes out the great Norton,mad psycho hard punching Ron lyle and crafty slick boxer Young is no joke .

This man is the definition of happy
Jason O leary lol yeah he is he makes you happy watching him.
Gerry is a legend respect.
I like Gerry's attitude. You can tell he is just so happy being there. It cracked me up the way he was speaking like he was telling a delicious secret. Enjoy yourself Gentleman Gerry Cooney.
He's really old school, what a cool guy!!
Wilder showed his true colours at the press conference. I was rooting for wilder now i want FURY to win.
rtm00s lol
I don’t think I’ve seen him lose his stuff like that before...Fury has got to him.
@Gennady Golovkin what makes him racist?
@@tivertap they said the sane about McGregor getting to Khabib, and look what happened in that fight
rtm - same here.
Fury to win by knockout come on the fury!
Bob marley knows'
I'm coming back on Sunday morning to laugh at this comment
Bob - that's a very foolish prediction. Fury can't even knock down his opponents anymore.
@@jamesgeorge65 exactly
lolllll fury by ko????? youre delusional, only slim chance fury has is winning a 12 rounder via snoozefest, get in reality
I want fury to win . Just hope it's not a couple of fights to early for him . He looks in better shape again . But just think wilder will be to quick with that right hand .

Still so sharp... fair play
George foreman on cooney: my goodness this man hits hard it was awfull you just felt your whole body shake
Gerry "Scorsese" Cooney
nice haha
Wilson C. Daam....he sure does resemble him ....LOL. !
👏👏👏
Wilson C and a touch of woody Allen 😂
now thats funny....not sure many out there got it...lol
One of the hardest hitters in the world according to George foreman.
and that was after Cooney had been inactive and battling drug and alcohol addiction and had been in rehab. Foreman had been very active and getting back into fighting form whereas Cooney had done nothing prior to the fight. Foreman picked Cooney because he was a "name" that was relatively safe.

+randy johnson ok you no best lol
+randy johnson we no foreman talks shit but liston and Williams were very powerful men
It’s good to see Gerry speaking well and his mind still fully intact. A lot of fighters aren’t as lucky.
Fury finishes wilder in the 8th
And joshua will finish fury in round 3 take it or leave it
You seriously believe Fury will KO Wilder..? I'm amused
Josh - that's stupid.

Didn't George Foreman say Jerry was the hardest puncher ever?
Late Apex no
@@Lamedvavnik You sure about that stupid name?
Foreman said Cooney was one of the 3 hardest punchers he ever faced. He said Gerry Cooney, Ron Lyle and Cleveland Williams, and if you watch Cooney vs Norton I don't think anyone could argue with that. The guy was a beast. But anyway.. GO TYSON!!
@@tonyroberts7652 Ron Lyle. Fk would I have not liked to be hit by him. I have his autographed pic on my wall just because some of the greats back then say that Lyle punched like a mule. Imagine him in this crop now. Def would be a world champion
Late Apex he certainly said he was one of the top punchers, along with Ron Lyle and Cleveland Williams.
Wilder is used to fighting club fighters apart from an aged Ortiz. Fury probably wins this
Jerry's character is very loveable, god bless his funny soul
Gerry Fury!
Blessings from Wolverhampton England to you BOTH.

100%

@@Neo-oq3rx Compared to Fury who is a freak. Maybe he is ok compared to normal guys
@@ps5stuffguy Ortiz has better footwork than Fury. Fury has better upper body movement
im a fury fan but sorry, he is not "3 times better than ortiz". you underrate wilder also. wilder has good timing, good jab and good power. I hope fury does it but wilder is favourite here
One of the hardest hitting punchers in the game 🥊 🥊
That a boy, Gerry! Enjoy your retirement
Cooney v Norton classic good to see the gentleman healthy and well heavyweight legend RESPECT big man .
After everything joshua has done everybody thinks he's a ducker ! Sore one.
Good to hear the passion
Great interview. Thank you.
Gerry was a very underrated fighter, in my mind he was one of the greats, a REAL fighter who fought the best and won or put up a great showing. Very tough fighter
I Think Nearly Every Heavyweight Has Dropped AJ In Sparring It Seems Like !!!
Gerry Cooney is by far the freshest looking/sounding guy on the planet to get knocked out by George Foreman.
times the fight UK time?
Cooney was great. Knocking out Lyle and Norton back to back first round KO’s then fight of the year with Holmes. Gets forgotten about because of how great the 80s were
I AGREE AJ ducking wilder , fury is the man.
Did you get that Soda Kugan? and any updates on the shoes given away? Important questions lol!!

What a lovely bloke,true gent,no slurring his words boxing has bin kind to Cooney,diamond gheezer.
Gerry is AWESOME!
Gerry, what a gentleman.
Love the channel and uploads, just please shorten your intro credits but about 15 seconds . It's tediously long.
Gerry Cooney is a class act!
I love the vibe cooney got haha cool dude
After all these years this man LOVES the sport
what a cracking bloke.a real gentlemen well out the ring anyway.
Wow! He looks fantastic. What a gentleman.
GENTLEMEN GERRY!GOOD MAN THAT CARES ABOUT BOXING AND THE FIGHTERS 👍
I can't wait for this fight - hope Fury can do it.
Gerry Cooney happy dude. Needs to be presenting
What a lovely true man gerry is respect that man
Gerry had the best left hook in the game
Gerry was a elite fighter in this day 70s early 80s brave to,“fighting Irish”
Tell Ken Norton that
Class act
🥊 Let’s go champ 🇬🇧
Colourful and happy guy is Cooney
Giant of a man
Gerry looks like a blast to hang out with
I liked wilder up until now. He changed. Joe joyce looks awesome never seen him before
Cooney was underrated.
Dude has 4 scripts of painkillers poppin percocet poppin percocet poppin percocet poppin percocet
Cant believe how different he is to Spinks. Cooney sounds more alive than me.
Someone needs to hire this man
Gerry Cooney you’re wrong. Wilder has had several offers on the table.
What a great guy!
Top man ,sounds youthful.....Beast
What a cool guy!
Cool guy. Made me smile
Good man, Cooney. Seems a top fella.
George Clooney has changed
I remember him when I was a kid. he was pretty good in a basic sort of way. he could hit
I had never heard cooney talk until just now ( I'm 32 ). I just watched highlights of his Larry Holmes fight in the 80's and I was worried Holmes may have given him brain damage.
It's great to see him coherent and loving life.
Gerry Cooney 6ft 6 - how tall is Tyson Fury?
Stelios Attipa he just wanted to hear how tall tyson lol
A very tuff man
Gerry cooney and Fury will have something in common very soon
What a nice bloke
What a dude!
Foreman said Gerry Cooney used to punch harder than Freizer with his left hook
Yep. Said that on Letterman. Right after their fight, Foreman said he'd never been hit that hard. Foreman looks less relaxed and more determined to get Cooney out. Cooney was always dangerous with that left.
If Frazier was as tall and big as Cooney I'm sure it'd be a different story. Frazier was small for a Heavyweight. Not even 6'
Love Gerry
Gerry is a great guy and loved his heart in the ring.
Did he just say people are ducking Wilder? Dillian Whyte? Breazeale? These guys have been calling him out. He is looking for a big money fight just like every other fighter
Gerry cooney still sounds great .
Considering some of the horrible KOS Cooney suffered, he has all his brain cells intact..good to see.
Still great mind and sharp
Tyson didn’t look too pleased to see Gerry .. looked like he kinda snubbed him ... probably has to do with the fact that Gerry predicted that Deontay would win during that showtime Q&A session ???
Give me 2 rounds 🤣🤣
Jolly Gerry cooney
Gerry still looking for that diet Pepsi
Low key he called wilder stupid...anyone caught it?
Legend
what a legend!
You hear him talk. You think he's 20 years old. You look at the screen, see a man who looks about 65-70. :p
He looks like Frank Bruno
See it doesn’t matter how old you are boxing is them. Gerry Younger self is itching to come out
Seems like some people believe talk over actions
The Great dope of boxing.
Fury 6'9" Cooney 6'7"
Noone has ducked wilder ffs.Wilder however has ducked EVERYONE....
The stars are out
We all know what Holmes did to him....
and that's why he gave fury that advice ,because that's exactly what holmes did to him.
