Do u guys think a prime Mercer ( not the 41 yr old that fought wlad ) prime Mercer could take deontays right hand ?????? Yes or no ?
What about fat Foreman from the 90s, he seemed to have an iron jaw. Although he did duck Bowe and Lewis.
Yeah Foreman ducked Riddick Bowe by calling them both out. Go to the post fight interview. Foreman is talking about how Bowe agreed to fight him and then backed out. He then stated he wanted to fight Lennox Lewis. This content is protected It appears than 99 percent of the people on this forum don't know what they are talking about.
Johann Duhaupus took tons of flush rights by Wilder and never went down. Glass chin Artur Szpilka took numerous flush right hands from Wilder and laughed at them. He only went down when he jumped into a right hand. Foreman, Holyfield, Tyson, McCall, Tua, Mercer, Marion Wilson, and countless other guys from the 90s would of ate Wilder's right hand all night.
Hard to say ,the question is how many of them if landed ? Mercer was a really good fighter that usually needed to be set up to get him out on the chin which didn't happen much . Morrison hurt him to the body and almost made him quit but were talking head shots . Certain punchers had the ability to hurt mercer with a deliberate snap of power but he fought only one if were talking real and that was Klitschko even if its older Mercer who would stop him at any year if the same shots landed but look close at how many it took . The answer is yes for sure but how many is the better one ?
Holyfield dropped Mercer but Lennox Lewis hit Mercer with everything and couldn't stop him... Sadly today there's lots of Big Heavyweights with Tender Mandibles, possibly the Blob or a Focused Fury could at least survive and win on points against Beyoncé but he'll probably knock them both out and retire into low budget stupid movies...
Iron jaws don't matter when someone is hit that fast and clean, although the key would be not getting hit.
