Don't be silly. I have the fight on DVD and watched it many times. Mercer won that fight. I think that Lewis was a great champion, but he reached his prime late.
I think Mercer won that fight also.. Mercer was up buy several rounds. but in my opinion Lewis was never better then when he beat Donovan Ruddock.. Lewis weighed in at 227 at 6"5 .. He we was in great shape, excellent hands speed, good leverage on his shots.. he fought with determination and fire at that point. After that he put on all that weight which just cemented him into the ground and slowed him substantially. Lennox was never the same fighter after that. He would have been a fire cracker had he stayed trim .
I agev that fight to Lewis . It was a close fight but Mercer plodded for too long . Lewis was able to get off with combos and when he was in the trenches , he beat Mercer at his own game
