How would Ray Mercer have done in todays HW division?

[mlac]

I don't think you've seen ray Mercer fight

That mong has been watching boxing for 2 years max. Guy is quickly becoming the worst poster on here...and thats quiete an achievement considering the amount of spastics on here.

Mercer would merk both aj and bum squad.

Fury? Likely loses a ud. But still has a punchers chance.

So you have Mercer beating Joshua, but not Fury? Why?

[Black Jesus]

He definitely smashes Usyk, and I'd give him a decent chance against Fury (remember when he was like 50 years he went over to MMA and knocked out the enormous Tim Sylvia with one punch)
He beats Ruiz as long as he doesn't get lacsidasical.
He KOs Hrgovic same way he did to Tommy Morrison
Honestly the only people I see giving him any trouble would be Wilder (remember Mercer was KOd by the hard hitting but limited Shannon Briggs), and possibly AJ

Because ive watched them all fight?

I think Mercer would be the ultimate "high-risk, low-reward" guy. He would be viewed like Luis Ortiz was before the two Wilder fights.

A lot would depend on his promotional affiliation.

As for how he does in the ring, I think he pushes all of the top guys.

Fury at his best wins a decision, however the Fury who fought Otto Wallin would struggle mightily and the decision might be controversial.

Same goes for Joshua, and if Carlos Takam provided resistance then I could see Mercer possibly pulling off the upset

Wilder could land something big of course but if Mercer is still there late then the "Merciless" one might take over down the stretch.

An old Larry Holmes beat Mercer by decision so "Merciless" wasn't invincible, however he would definitely be a top-5 heavyweight

So now Mercer is Otto Wallin!?

Non-****ing-sense of the highest order.


Tyson's got like two feints, no baits, and does nothing with line of sight.

A double feint while sidestepping is not going to do anything to either Evander of Lennox, you're crazy.

An inability to fight at midrange will be exploited by Evander for damn sure.

The idea that his pivot games transfers at all...jesus christ man. Wlad fought on tracks and Wilder isn't exactly the epitome of footwork himself.


Wilder can't do **** to a man to controls his right hand. Both Lennox and Evander can do that just fine.


Usyk's never beaten anyone worth half a **** but let's all pretend CW isn't ****ty and where bad HWs end up while the greatest CWs are either Evander or just the best name on the resume of a real HW. Usyk's entire career means nothing to the last undisputed and four time champion respectively.


Joshua has a decent mix to make a fight, but like Wilder has no fall back plan. He keeps his face centered while exchanging, that's enough for Evander without any doubt. Evander loves to study where you keep your head and if you don't move that **** he will light you up. Josh has no head movement and is way too stiff in an exchange to better Evander. All Holy has to do is position him to force an exchange and then it's over.



limited...compared to today....wtf. Explain that nonsense.

I guess if you need to make shyte up to present argument this should be the way to do it.

Holyfield and Lewis at their best lost to lesser men than today's lot. That is factual evidence. Not the rambling misperceptions - of a Marciano fanboy, no less.

LMAO.

The dude who got ****d by Kimbo smashes Usyk and KOs Fury!?!?

Do you do stand up? I'll pay good money to watch your show.

I doubt either guy needs 10 rounds to find the body shot that folds Huff n Puff Mercer.

[Cobra Curry]

Mercer gets hold of at least one belt imho. I like his chances against any of today's top guys.

[TonyGe]

Mercer was a good fighter with a chin of granite. He gave Lewis all he could handle. He would do very well today. Andy Ruiz beat Joshua and Mercer is a better fighter than Andy IMO.

[emceetns]

So now Mercer is Otto Wallin!?

This is what I said in my post:

Fury at his best wins a decision, however the Fury who fought Otto Wallin would struggle mightily and the decision might be controversial.

In other words, if Fury doesn't show up at his best (Fury wasn't at his best when he fought Otto Wallin), he would struggle mightily (against Ray Mercer) and the decision might be controversial (meaning the fight could go either way)

At no point did I directly compare Otto Wallin to Ray Mercer
