I didn't see it as a different standard. In Cooney's case I brought it
up because the three fights in the last weeks of '79 were an
introduction to what he did in the 80s. I am not placing any great
value on victories over Boone, Dennis, and Dozier beyond to say that
the Young, Lyle, and Norton fights were continuations of what he had
already established.

As far as Weaver and Tate, that fight was the one upon which Kip based
his evaluation of Weaver and that fight did not occur in the decade
being discussed.
