Mercer and Cooper were two fighters who, when in shape and motivated, could be hell on earth for most anyone. Solid chins, strong, big punchers.,...
Like I said. My upcoming book on Sullivan should tell you all you need to know about him. I don't think it fair to denigrate him and his...

I think Patterson could have lasted longer if he utilized a lot more footwork. However at the end of the day he simply was not big enough, strong...
