Re: Moorer vs. Mercer- 1996.
This would have been a very evenly matched fight and possibly one of high action.
Ray would have been capable of finishing the shaky chinned Moorer if he caught him good or too often. And Moorer could bang but his power at HW is overrated a bit and Ray had a very solid chin.
Even still I do think Moorer could possibly score a KO against Ray as well, he still had the power and Moorer was a much better boxer skill wise.
I think Moorer by decision but it could end either way by KO as well.

Honestly see it go the same way Mercer beat Morrison, just taking the bombs and stopping Moorer when he gets clipped on the chin.

Actually for once I think I agree with you. The Morrison fight seems like it could be a pretty close analog.

Re: Moorer vs. Mercer- 1996.
Depending on which versions of Moorer and Mercer you have mentally it could go either way. Moorer with Atlas could weather the storm and rally after a knockdown. Mercer could be merciless as he was vs Lewis and Morrison or he could be lazy as he was vs Holmes. I actually think Mercer would do very well because Moorer was a guy focused on fighting on the inside and it would give Ray too many opportunities to connect
