I was a left hooker, and I loved hooking. I also really liked to jab and mix it up right away.
Gerry CooneyMuhammad Ali was the kind of guy you either loved or hated, but you wanted to see him. I happen to really love him. He brought boxing to another level and always made you laugh.
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 CooneyThe bad press came because they thought I should fight more. I couldn't get the fights because if I would sign to fight one of King's guys I would be signed to him. I chose not to do that. In hindsight, that might have been a mistake.
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.
