Question

Big John Tate vs Gerry Cooney, circa 1980, who wins, 15 rounds?

Answer 1

I think Cooney had a better punch, and Big John was a disappointment to me. I don't think he was tough enough.

Cooney wins and it is not going to take 15 rounds.

Answer 2

very often i hear people call cooney overrated but i think that gerry was actually a good boxer,he was big and he had a lotof power but he was not some slow slugger he actually knew how to box, big john tate was also an ok fighter but i have been more impressed with cooney who was a little more versatile than big john....so i think cooney would win this one by ko in the mid rounds.

Answer 3

two  overated fighters who anybody could care less about now but id say cooney wins by ko late in fight

Answer 4

Joe Bugner said that Cooney's hook was harder than Joe Frazier's.

Cooney KO by round 5.

Answer 5

big john tate would be winning until the first big left hook cooney lands on his jaw, tate would probably finish the fight face first in the canvas.
