    awesome matchup. When I think about this it is very hard to figure. I would think that David Tua would land the left hook and rock Mercer into a defensive fight and win a decision. I do not think he would knock out Mercer, but he would hit him so hard it would change momentum for Mercer. Mercer had a good chin but Tua is a good puncher who would probably hit Mercer, if not on the chin close enough to get Mercer to back off.

    Great fight.
    I think Mercer will win simply he is the better all round boxer with a sturdy chin.
    He can take the powershots of Tua and fire back

    I think Mercer uses those 7 inches of superior range,and punches him away

    David Tua wins cos Mercer never trained like he should of.

    Mercer lost to Holyfield after a long lay-off and that fight got rid of the rust for his next fight against Lennox Lewis.

    Mercer vs Bowe should of happened-both US Olympic team mates but Rock Newman wasn't stupid so they never fought.
    Tua and Mercer are 2 hard men but in a fight and with their history then I say Tua outworks Ray. Tua also hit's harder while both have great chins.

    Wow..tough one...I'm taking Tua with another fight saving late round KO...Mercer would be able to take a lot of rounds with better boxing, but I think he'd slow in the end and be drawn into a slugfest. Tua too heavy handed and better chin would put him away in the 11th.

    Tough call for me. Two of my modern favorites going head to head...

    I'll go with "Tuaman" although if it were up to me he would be known as "The Terminator" and nothing else.

    I always hoped for Tyson Vs. Tua. Something always told me that Tua would blister, bludgeon, pound, pummel, shellac, wallop, and whip Mike Tyson.

    And once Tyson's speed was gone it would have surely been a slaughter.

    Ray was an all around better fighter. Tua had a great left, power and great chin. But that's pretty much it. Mercer was good enough to neutralize Tua's hook and once he got past that he would have outpointed him in 12. UD

    If you're talking a drug-free Mercer in his prime I say he wins. Both had great chins and could hit like mules kick, but Mercer had a little more style. Tua was all bang, if his power couldn't do the trick then nothing could be done. It would definitely be a potential FOTY for me.

    I think This would be similar to Bert Cooper vs Ray Mercer but Tua would do better than Cooper but would lose close decision.

    This would have been a special fight.

    I've often slated Tua for his lack of technical ability, but against Mercer, that would not have been a problem, as Mercer would have engaged in open warfare with him.

    I'm inclined to lean towards Mercer, as I feel had a few more tools in the box.

    I say Mercer on points.
