Please submit your questions to: askgerrycooney@aol.com
Our first question comes from Paul M. who asks:
Hi Gerry, I’ve heard a story for years that President Reagan had a phone line installed in your dressing room to congratulate you if you beat Holmes in 1982, but he did not have one installed in Larry’s dressing room. Is this story true?
Our next question comes from Robert R. who asks:
Hi Gerry, long time fan of yours!!! As an amateur your record was 55-3. I know you lost to both Davis brothers, John and Eddie. Who was the third loss to?
