You have a small period of time when you can perfect your career and become good at it. A lot of guys get distracted, which only hurts them. You must stay focused and work very hard at boxing.
Gerry CooneyI am a fight fan. I think boxing had its problems and kind of fell away for a while, but it's coming back strong .
Gerry CooneyI am seeing all the guys, like Earnie Shavers, Tex Cobb, and Larry Holmes all the time.
Gerry CooneyToday I have a great life. I have three kids and a beautiful wife. I play golf every day. I give to charities. I'm in a lucky position.
Gerry CooneyI am involved in minor league baseball. I go around the country speaking to troubled youths, trying to help them understand that whatever path they choose, they'll need to really pay attention to it.
Gerry CooneyThe way to beat the Klitschkos is to get inside, under the jab, and bang to the body. Do that for two or three or four rounds and then the hands will come down and then you turn them over. It's like chopping a tree down. These guys try to headhunt when they fight them and that won't work. But you back them up, the younger brother especially, and he loses heart.
