Shavers vs Mercer

[JAB5239]

Shavers from the 2nd Holmes fight vs Mercer from the Lewis fight. Who wins and why?

[The D3vil]

Wow, a real war.

I gotta go with Mercer, tho.

Mercer wasn't stopped by anybody when he was young.

I think he weathers the storm from Shavers & finishes him in the 7th round or so.

Mercer may have had the largest head in boxing. He couldn't think well with it but it could takes punches. Shavers a one-trick-pony. Mercer, KO.

Yeah, the admin sends them on vacation until the12th of Never.

Ivich and I had moments of discord but also of harmony. No disrespect to others, but he was the best boxing historian who was a regular on here. Willie Pep and Wispy are good too. Jab contributes a lot. I think boxing facts flat meant more to Ivich. He took the history forum seriously and didn't bother with the nonsense of NSB or the Lounge or even the Thunder Dome.

I think he will get used to his new persona(s), but one hates to give up an established persona of course. Yet I do not want him to be reinstated unless all the other innocents are reinstated along with him. It would only be fair, since they are equally aggrieved.

Mercer. Shavers was stopped by Quarry and very inconsistent. This would be a war of attrition. Mercer had a granite chin.

Sounds like the McCarthy Era and the HUAC . " Alts under the bed". " I have in my hand a list of Alt names that are definitely here! "Senator John Iselin. "The Manchurian Candidate"

Perhaps the aggrieved have found a home elsewhere?

"Isn't it pretty to think so" Jake Barnes. " The Sun Also Rises"

I'd agree about being even handed,no favoritism.

It's fortunate this site is not the only planet in the solar system.

I'll love you till the clover has lost it's perfume.

I'll love you till the poets,run out of rhyme

Until the 12th of Never,and that's a long long time."

The 12th Of Never.
I expect this forum is a bit like your local bar,with some good guys among the regulars and a couple of also rans.

Quarry broke Shavers jaw.
Mercer was floored by Holyfield, however he did take everything Morrison could throw at him.

Mercer took Lewis’ best punches and kept coming forward. Mercer was a better finisher than Ernie when he had his man in trouble.

Only Ray's knee was floored though as I remember.
