    Though id throw a AJ thread in before the big fight.
    Ok, So Anthony Joshua, from his last fight up against Merciless Mercer from the Morrison ko?
    Does Ray get battered or is AJ getting flattened.. Again?

    It would be similar to the Morrison fight in my opinion. Mercer to get almost stopped by a huge shot but recovers to stop Joshua.

    If I'd have being asked this question a year ago I'd have said, AJ pummel s him. Now I'm going with this. Ray eating punches then dropping him. Joshua ends up getting stopped. Mercer would pull off the win in shocking style.

    Mercer is superior to Ruiz in every single way accept handspeed. Mercer could box with Joshua if he wants (Mercer's jab is very solid), Joshua gasses, and Mercer gives another one of his ruthless, sadistic, satisfying KOs

    I'll go with this. Maybe look at things differently after today's fight but Mercer at his best always gives any decent heavyweight an hard fight. He's ultra dangerous for AJ now we how Ruiz knocked him silly imo.

    I have a feeling that worse comes to worse and AJ does lose again then that's the last we'll see of him in the ring. Not sure where he could go after that tbh.

    Joshua would likely use his jab to keep the fight at range and bang away when Mercer comes closer. I don't think Mercer has the speed to really bother AJ, although that fast, sharp jab of his was surprisingly good. I think AJ on points is most likely.

    I see Joshua trying to destroy Mercer. Failing. Then getting destroyed, mercilessly.

    Joshua trying to ko Mercer fast would be his worst mistake. Would be like trying to smash a brick wall with his fists.!

    The best AJ may be able to grind out a SD, but from Ruiz 1, he gets flattened via frightening KO.
