    How does Conn at his heavyweight best fare h2h against Ray Mercer, Razor Ruddock, Tommy Morrison, and Bert Cooper? In which fights would you favor him?

    EDIT: Added Luis Ortiz.

    Ray was easily outboxed. I'd favor Conn over all of these fighters.

    I don't see how would billy keep those guys off him.

    Too much size difference, i don't think he does well at all

    At their best most win far more than lose against him. Just how it is. Sure, you get them when they are on an off night, he could win. Honestly guys, you really think Razor on his best day wouldn't put Conn away? Come on guys. Conn does like beat Copper though most times. Conn is worlds better all time, but isn't not a favorite here.

    Ruddock was a complete amateur in the ring. One trick pony.

    Mercer would probably beat him, he would absolutely clown Ruddock and Morrison, and Bert Cooper could beat him if he kept it together!

    Imagine a 235 lbs mercer who chased lewis around the ring and almost beat him vs a feather fisted blown up mw?

    Or Razor Ruddock who took everything that tyson had for 12 rounds and threw some of the most devastating left uppercuts that would knock out cold most heavyweights, and probably kill a lot of middleweights?

    Morrison fast starting explosive power puncher with a great left hook and combinations, who wasn't afraid of trading punches with fighters like foreman, ruddock, mercer... He would show no respect for Conn and go for the kill right away.

    Let's see Conn trying to slug it out with Bert Cooper, first man to knock down and seriously hurt iron chinned Holyfield?

    I see him beating Mercer if he fights a perfect fight.

    He loses to Cooper and Morrison.

    His best advantage is against Ruddock, and he would have to be on his toes.

    Two questions.

    1. Do you think you hit harder than Joe Louis?
    2. Which heavyweights do you think you hit harder than?
