    Let me say this.
    Both these guys are better than any heavyweight of the past 10 years.

    I said it.

    Fury, Wilder and Joshua would be live underdogs against either one, prime for prime.

    I say Morrison takes Cooney out inside of 5

    Probably Cooney. He showed more against Holmes than Morrison ever did.

    Most likely Cooney, but it's a matchup where I don't have high confidence in either.

    Feels like one of those where if you played it out ten times it might come out 6/4 or something....probably to Cooney. All ten fights ending by KO via left hook

    Morrison fights Cooney the way he fought Foreman and inexplicably it goes to a decision

    Two big bangers with nasty left hooks and questionable stamina. It ends violently.

    Cooney had a good jab and was even able to frustrate Holmes at times. His body punching could definitely take the steam out of Morrison. Morrison's best shot is to close the distance and use his faster hands to do damage but getting there and getting out is dangerous as hell.

    I lean slightly Cooney but not by much.

    Helluva Fight, Could END @ Virtually Any Moment...REED Has a Feeling Cooney Would Be Willing/Able to ENDURE More, to Sway the Difference...Not Saying Morrisson Had ANY Bitch In Him @ All, Just a Hunch Cooney Would Fare BETTER In a Back and Forth Slugfest, Which This Would Inevitably Morph Into...

    If you want optimal violence in this matchup, throw some a bottle in the middle of the ring and tell them its the last bottle of booze available.
