But Ice if he would have won all those fights he'd have been on the elite list and so disqualified from the discussion

He's a good pick here, as this is about fighter's who didn't quite make it to the very top.
Yes i know Bilbo i just think Mercer is overrated, i always see people going on about how he gave Lewis tough fight etc. But forget the fact that he was out boxed by an old man and went down to the wire multiple times against journeyman fighters who shouldn't of even made him breathe hard.
