Boxing was a way to express my anger. All of a sudden, I was expressing anger, and I was good at it. I was like a Jekyll and Hyde. Boxing helped me because I was fighting the anger out. I was knocking guys out. Gerry Cooney angerboxexpress share on social
I always felt I was wounded. That I was no good, a piece of crap, and that I wouldn't amount to anything, because that's what my father always told me. I just felt like I didn't belong anywhere. Gerry Cooney amountbelongcrap Change image and share on social
I had two managers who couldn't stand each other. I had a promoter, Don King, who couldn't get any fights, and I was fighting once a year. I knocked out Norton and then didn't fight for 13 months. Then I fight the heavyweight champion of the world. Gerry Cooney championdonfight share on social

When I get finished with fighting, I hope they ask the same questions. It's not my purpose to answer them. Boxing is the art of self-defense. I knock 'em out the first chance I get. Gerry Cooney answerartbox Change image and share on social

I never fought because of my father. I started to box before he pushed me. It had nothing to do with him. Gerry Cooney boxfatherfight Change image and share on social
