I was excited to see what he would do, but if you look at the guys he beat not one of them has a winning record and most of them have truly horrible records. One of them is 5-14 or something. He never seriously tried to do anything in mma.
I remember watching this **** live in the K-1. Hilarious. Mercer walked out like he was going to have it, got kicked in the head and was literally like **** this in under a few seconds. Sad thing was there was a slew of boxers back then trying their hand in the K-1 like Botha, Shannon Briggs and Vince Phillips.
As a kid, I remember watching him intimidate and destroy opponents in the Goodwill Games. I thought he was going to be the next Tyson or the next Black Terminator* * yes, I know, I've since found out he's a mix of lots.
i think he could have had a real impact if he wanted it. trouble is he was making more money to fight one top 10 guy at boxing than he could make to fight 4 top UFC guys. so he tended to focus more on boxing.
