Ray Mercer vs David Tua Prime For Prime Who Wins ??

[Lords Gym]

Great match-up.

I think if Tua could get Mercer to fight toe-to-toe he'd take the decision.

My thought is that Tua would have sparked Mercer. much love to Ray , he was a force .. would have been a good one for the fans. Win lose or Draw.

I think Mercer has too much of a granite chin to be stopped.

You make a good point .. Mercer was a brave fighter.. Ray came to play.. anyone that comes to play vs David Tua is in for some serious troubles..
Evander had Ray down.. Morrison had him early, but fatigued do to poor lifestyle habits. The thing about David Tua is he will bring his best , stay on his man from start to finish giving no quarter and expecting non, only getting stronger as the rounds go by ,as good as Mercer was I still believe that Tua would take the biscuit inside the distance.

I don't think Tua would have stopped Mercer. Ibeabuchi stood with Tua toe-to-toe for the whole fight & only had 16 fights coming in. I think Mercer was better technically than Ike. Anyone else think Tua was robbed that fight? Anyway Tua back then was a non stop punching machine which would have been enough in my mind to take a close one!

Yeah David won that match, the judges gave to much credit for the Ibabuchie jab, missing the fact David was picking off most of the shots.. In Ike's defense I will say he caught Tua off guard seizing the first 4 rounds and conditioning the judges to score in his favor, so for David there is no ill will or bad feeling about the match. , Ike’s style remained me of Evander only bigger.

I believe that he would have gone to accomplish great things. .. I was told the punches Ike sustained in that match led to his mental demise as he sustained frontal lobe damage? I sure hope that’s not the case.
