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
That's the thing: The Mercer that fought Holmes wasn't lazy or lethargic, he just got beat by someone with way more experience. lololol......

He couldn't bomb Holmes the way Tyson and Shavers did. He couldn't, and never did have, the type of work rate that Holyfield did- he just simply got beat due to his style.

Give it up to Holmes on that one. But, the loss Mercer had against Jesse Fergusson is another story- he just was a bum that night.
