    I'd pick Mercer over Foreman by decision, but I wouldn't consider a win by either to be a huge upset. With Foreman the key word on the post above is poleaxed. But he wouldn't be polaxing the granite chin Mercer.

    Do you mean the Cooper who didn't train and was in his hotel with coke and hookers the night before the fight?

    Do you mean ****ey whose previous fight consisted of getting butchered by Mike Spinks three years earlier?

    Just checking....

    So? Everyone has a reason for why they lost. There's few sports with as much excuses as boxing. Both camps know when the fight will be far in advance (usually), your job as a professional fighter is to train and show up prepared.

    If you don't, that's kinda on you, isn't it? And not altogether fair to dismiss the achievement of the winner, who might have beat you on your best day.

    Certainly wasn't the hungover, drugged-out ****ey who fought Spinks.

    Considering the below average Tommy Morrison easily outpointed foreman I don't see how you could think foreman would win a decision over Mercer

    Mercer's less than stellar showings against Ferguson, Wilson, and an old Holmes gave me inspiration to think so. :good

    Mercer should take it if he brings his A game.

    To be honest mercer lost a lot to guys he had no buisiness losing to. If foreman catches him on an off night then he could win a decision over mercer.
