Yea, Cooney wasn't in Frazier's league. But I agree with George Foreman, I think Cooney had the harder left hook. Frazier did hit Foreman with quite a few meaty left hooks in their return bout....but none really budged Big George.

Cooney came from a well established boxing culture. While the stereotype for the Irish guys is brawlers and brawn, Coonie and Quarry had ring smarts. I think that with Morrison he was fabulous when he was just coming up from getting fed second rate opposition. When the microscope came off Morrison he started to become a one punch kind of fighter.
Morrison had talent that far exceeded Cooney and even Quarry...He had quick feet and good compact power but he just took a wrong turn somewhere and we don't really get many (If any) second chances.
At his best with good trainers Morrison beats Cooney and a lot more. At his mean....Cooney prolly wins it.

cooney had the bigger punch, IMO.
morrison was faster of hand, and could catch a man in exchanges, or even move his feet to land the hook.
cooney might have the best left hook to the liver that i've ever seen from a big man. it could end a fight. it was not as prolific, but it was a harder punch than fraziers.
