As the title suggests, how would you see this fight going? Ray Mercer vs Deontay Wilder prime for prime. Thoughts?
Mercer wouldn't have to be prime to beat Wilder. The washed up 41 year old version that Wlad beat could probably give him a run for his money.
Mercers punch resistance would haunt Wilder. Hes a true olympic champ/refined power puncher/boxer. Only way Wilder wins if Mercer trains for about 2 weeks.
Mercer. KO. Ray would beat him with his chin. Wilder doesn't have the footwork or the jab to keep him off and Mercer had legit power.
Mercer gave a big Lewis all he could handle and arguably won. Wilder never step up to face fighter with the caliber of mercer. Mercer might knock him out of the ring.
