Some have made boxing a terrible thing to be around.
From Gerry Cooney
They said if I'd fight a ranked contender, I'd get a title shot. I did that, and the next day they changed the rules.
I think I make people laugh, and that's good in life.
Some of the things written about me hurt, but there is nothing I can do about it.
I've just had some bad luck. I've had every injury known to man. I understand how people think, 'How can this be happening all the time to Gerry Cooney?' But it did.
I've always wanted to fight. I love to fight.
I don't care about the critics. I took a lot of nonsense. I got stuck with silly labels like 'White Hope.' What about other guys like Tex Cobb - they never had those labels?
Sometimes you get so frustrated that things aren't working out, you say, 'Let me step away for a while.' But the fire still burns.
I know I can fight; that's the only thing that matters to me.
I have a Roman nose. It roams all over my face.
