Mercer probably had the second best chin of all the nineties heavyweights (aside from McCall)
Yup . No question

I reckon Mercer was fundamentally a better all around fighter TBH . His chin was iron plus it was tucked down so if Peter cant knock him out I cant see how he could win . Mercer would win the rounds behind his left jab , better movement , better positioning / balance etc . He may even stop Sam late though Ud would be a safer bet . Mercer was dangerous when he opened up . Ask Morrisson .
