Nice interview by Lem Satterfield of Ringtv.com with former heavyweight contender "Gentleman" Gerry Cooney who gives his honest assessment of undefeated Brandywine, MD heavyweight Seth "Mayhem" Mitchell after Mitchell's victory over Timur Ibragimov on Saturday night.

Bad link!
ReplyDeleteSorry about that. Link is fixed now.
ReplyDeleteGerry Cooney doesn't know what he's talking about. They hit it on the button on HBO when they said all the american heavyweights are on the gridiron or the basketball court. Its American culture. And now he's saying all Seth has is a puncher's chance? The klitcho's are men, not gods. When Seth is ready, he will be on the upside of his incredible learning curve, and could be the one that hands them their receipt on the way out the door.
ReplyDeleteGerry Cooney is punchy from all the drugs and the punches he landed on Larry Holmes' balls back in 82!
ReplyDeleteSeth would've whipped Gerry Cooney's ass!
ReplyDeleteGerry Cooney made money because he was a box office draw. He couldn't really fight. Holmes whipped his ass so they put him in with Michael Spinks. Spinks kicked his ass so they put him in with Foreman. And then Foreman kicked his ass.
Cooney never beat anybody who was even close to the top of their game who was any good. Norton, Lyle, and Young were all done by the time Cooney fought them.
