Mercer would outfight Ike. Mercer was more diverse and more adaptable, than Tua, while his chin was about the same granite. Mercer could look worse early, but then he would fight back and have moe success.

Maybe it would be a similar on his fight against Bert Cooper.

I like Ike.Too big and fast for Mercer.Ike puts it on him way worse than Cooper did and dominates.

Agree with this, except Merciless had an amazing chin, stronger than Tua's.

Ike "too big" for Mercer? Damiani, Lewis and Witherspoon were all bigger than Ike. I think Mercer in his day could stand up to any bloke.

By "big" I meant in terms of weight cause I was thinking of Ike at about 245 against Byrd.I think at that size, with his style,Ike is too much for Mercer.
