Highlights of the former top Heavyweight contender and devastating puncher.
Gerry Cooney – Is a retired American professional heavyweight boxer from Huntington, New York. Despite relative inexperience, his exciting wins and size, aided by expert promotion, propelled Cooney into a lucrative bout with world heavyweight champion Larry Holmes in 1982. Cooney performed credibly before his corner retired him in round 13, and was regarded as having made a brave and determined effort. A view of him as tactically naive in defense was reinforced when former light-heavyweight Michael Spinks defeated Cooney in five rounds. In his final bout, he demonstrated his exceptionally hard punch by staggering powerful George Foreman, but was unable to capitalize on it; again showing himself deficient at basic self-protection, Cooney suffered a devastating second round knockout that ended his career.

George Foreman said the he was one of the top 3 punches he had ever fought.
He was a GREAT fighter.

2:06 Norton refused to go down
People forgot Dino Dennis he was a real warrior and a good boxer.
His lefts to the body and liver jesus. What an animal. Inside fighting off the charts.
awesome
Jerry could beat any bum
Even after all theses years…. still brutal.
That KO on the ropes was almost as bad as Mercer vs Morrison
My grandmother's last name was Cooney. My dad's first cousin. My brother and I always hit harder than the kids out age. Threw the baseball and football faster and farther. Good genes here. My brother thew a golf ball over a hundred and seventy yards. Haha. Got a free lunch off of a preacher.
You can see Tyson Fury throws the same left hook liver punch.
Larry Holmes knows something about those punches 😄
I love you Gerry Cooney 🥰❤
Norton could've died, brutal
Cooney Vs Fury
Left to the body was devastating
It's been said before, but George Foreman testified to the power of Cooney by mentioning his name among the 3 top punchers he ever had to meet throughout his career.
Was it Foreman who said “it didn’t matter where Gerry Cooney hit you. Your whole body felt it” ?
Cooney was a dog
Great montage!
Wow. That’s a left LEFT!!
George Foreman said he was in the top three hitters he faced so I gotta believe it when they say he was a hard hitter
George Foreman said he was 1 out of 3 of the hardest punchers he's ever fought.
Referees sure do suck at their jobs
Who's here after hearing Foreman?
👇
I've seen that clip of him pummeling Norton in the head for years and years, it still amazes me Norton didn't die, and it still amazes me the ref didn't get in there sooner
Now that's a highlight reel folks put the rest to bed"
Wow what a beast!
Prime Gerry vs. Prime Fury would've been a great boxing match.
the great white hope until larry holmes trashed his mc ass
That Ken Norton fight is grisly. That ref just stood there with the man out in a seated position taking bombs. The ref should have been banned for life.
This guy stopped past prime boxers, a prime Ronny Lyle would have destroyed Cooney. Foreman avenged Lyle, Norton and Young
Old gangstah
he had glass chin .
Cooney vs Wilder would have been a great one to see.
Also glad that Gerry is alive and well enjoying his life and not brain damaged 💪🏿
The greatest left hook of all time
