If Ray Mercer Had Being An Opponent For Marciano?

Mercer is a very hard fight for Rocky. That being said, i think Marciano's work rate will be too much unless Mercer can get him out of there in six rounds.

Very hard fight and both guys would be busted up.

 

Mercer is way too big and strong for Rocky. Afraid it would be lights out very early for Rock.

 

Mercer has every advantage here. KO7.

 

Mercer would be outworked for a decision loss. Just like he almost always did against elite opposition. But, it would have brutal moments when both opened up.

 

Would probably be the hardest fight of his career. Imagine an opponent who was almost impervious to his punches but had the kind of power that could drive him back into the ropes.

 

Rock. He was so mentally focused, with tunnel vision until the last bell. He'd find a way.

 

The Marciano that faced Don would lose. He was out of prime. The Marciano that faced Louis would have worn him down. No way Mercer would have been able to keep that pace.

 

Would he find a chainsaw or a gun?

Without either, or both, he gets destroyed by a real heavyweight, real-sized, amateur trained and not in his dotage. Mercer walked through Morrison, Cooper and Lewis. This little pipsqueak isn't going to make him even blink.

 

lol Mercer didn’t walk through Morrison he was backed up and getting his butt kicked the first three rounds. Was even hurt a bit in first and third. Morrison got tired and sparked after. Marciano isn’t getting tired

 

This is it.

 

He walked through Morrison who was, if nothing else, a true fast twitch puncher (and one with 8" more reach than Rocky), a guy who wasn't a stubby, plodding attrition puncher... and Ray wasted him in spectacular fashion.

Mercer just wastes Marciano who has nothing to keep Ray off him. Too slow, too small, too stubby... just too Rudy.

 

Mercer was tailormade for Marciano. Mercer had a lazy style that Marciano would take full advantage of. I loved watching Mercer back in the day, but against elite competition he always came up short for a reason.

 

Maybe you need to rewatch the fight he didn’t walk through anything
