[zuru]

Mercer is tough and punches hard.And that buys him some time,ButTyson kos him by 8th round.

[Woldemar]

IMO Tyson by decision.

[margaret thatcher]

Agree with Tyson decision

[scorpio83]

Mercer would not be Merciless, but would pull a James "Bonecrusher" Smith survival mode against Tyson, who would swarm all over him on the body and head as Iron Mike take a decision.

[elmersalsa]

At least Tyson had better tecnique. Tyson on points. He will hit Ray Mercer with some shots to the chin, and the sucker will still be standing up.

[DrDuke]

Tyson by decision. Mercer would take Tyson's power well, but he wouldn't deal with the speed. Tyson would outbox Mercer, about 117-111.

Agree with Tyson by decision, but what makes you think Mercer would clutch and grab? He never did, though Mike was a big holder because of his mediocre infighting.

I don't think that Merciless will clutch and grab for survival, either. Ray Mercer was one of the most valiant and fearless boxers that I have ever seen. He would fight anybody, anytime, anywhere.

[Roco]

Very bad match up for Mercer this.

He will be second best all night and his toughness will ensue that he receives tremendous punishment before been stopped in a one sided affair.

Mercer wasnt exactly known for his tip top condition and can see him exhausted after a few rounds taking too many and being stopped possibly in protest.

[gilgamesh]

Mercer would have his moments, but yeah Mike would've outfought him with the greater skill.

9 rounds to 3 for Mike probably. Something like that. Mercer could win the rounds where Mike kinda took a round off, and rested up for another assault.
