    Teofilo Stevenson - didn't go to a points decision until his third Olympics.

    First and only name that came to mind for me. Man, I miss Mercer fights, he always brought some action. Loved the jab he developed later on in his career.

    Mercer had a very solid chin. That ko of Morrison was one of the worst I've seen. What was the ref thinking?

    Mercer is the only guy I can think of that did it for sure. Leon Spinks came close I think? I know he iced the Sixtro Soria of Cuba in the third round and had 133 ko's out 178 wins as an amateur. That guy was a beast before the drugs and alcohol wrecked his life.

    You might say Lennox Lewis in '88, but he had a walkover in the semi's.

    Yeah. Iron chin, big power, great jab, fun to watch and absolutely ruthless.
