Ray Mercer: "Hell no! Wilder isn't hardest hitter ever. EASY fight for me!"

[F!x]

Great interview with Mercer..

Mercer was asked who would he have liked to fight from this era, he responds: "Deontay Wilder. That would have been an easy fight. Because he don't know how to box. He totally depends on his right hand and power We were always told not to go into a fight looking for a knockout. He does just the opposite!"

Earlier in the interview Mercer talks about the Shannon Briggs fight where he decided to stay down after being hit with a punch he believes was on the back of the head! Mercer explains that he had a serious eye injury going into the fight and simply couldn't see out his eye. It required extensive surgery and rehab following that fight.

Mercer talks Tommy Morrison: "When I saw those black pimples on his back I changed my whole game plan on the night of the fight! Steroid guys tire quickly so I tried to get him to punch himself out!"

Another retired guy tooting his own horn.

Wilder has himself to blame

[Eff Pandas]

You could hit him with a bat and he would stare at you.

Lmfao, but you aren't wrong.

Ray was a bad mfer in his day. He did have motivation issues at various points, kinda like a more respectable HW Broner if you will, but he was not a guy many cats from any era woulda been dropping during his best years regardless of his motivation.
