I was a left hooker, and I loved hooking. I also really liked to jab and mix it up right away.
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.
Gerry CooneyI lost three times in my career. Losing to Holmes I could deal with, because I lost to a true champion.
Gerry CooneyIf you look at my career, towards the end you will see I was fighting like once a year. I was not part of the Don King top heavyweights, so I was kind of kept out. His guys were getting three to four fights a year and I could only get one.
