I dont think Mercer could hold the pace against Tua. He would probably lose a decision or get knocked out. Mercer would often fight pretty stupid and I dont think he could sustain the right gameplan to beat Tua. He would eventually start fighting Tua's fight.
oh sorry..i didnt see people decided to talk about mercer....in that case..i think the best mercer wins..but the chance of the best mercer showing up is slim....so in a real life situation, were you dont know if the best of each will show up, then i think you are better picking tua.
Tua takes out Morrison, Tommy could bang but having watched every fight pretty much he ever had that chin would let him down.. You didn't even need to be a heavy puncher to hurt Tommy, ie Old at time Carl Williams or Purrity.. Tommy seemed to have stamina issues as well so in my eyes Tua walks him down and then walks right through him.. I do see the scenario of Tommy out boxing him as a possibility but........ Not likely I think Tua catches him at some point and ends it...
MorrisonKO2.tommygetsdroppedtwiceinthe first then stuns and finishes tua in the second Tua never ate a shot like tommys hook from hell
Tua lands that wrecking ball of a left eventually, it might even just be a glancing blow, but Tommys fragile chin wouldnt hold up, Tua by K.O.
That would make for a much better fight than Morrison v Tua. I think if anyone could absorb a Tua bomb it's Mercer.
