    I see Mercer winning this by a very narrow SD.

    Yeah, no knockout here. Just a big brawl. I forgot about it, but this is one of biggest HW dream matches. Either man by close decision.

    I think Berbick would frustrate the crap out of Mercer and get the W.

    Berbick tended to get the wins in fights he was supposed to lose, whereas Mercer was the opposite.

    I like Berbick to hammer out a close decision but this would be a hellacious fight

    Wouldn't it just?!!
    Berbick would get drawn in to that war, with Mercy ripping in to him.
    I can't decide to be honest yet!

    Yes, definitely no knock downs I should imagine. Both had good set of whiskers. Berbick was a case wasn't he, he'd like this fight.

    I agree that it could go either way. Both men were durable but I think Mercer was even more so. Both men had comparable power and were of similar size. Both liked to brawl in close. I’m wondering if it might look something like the Mercer vs Cooper fight.

    That's a possibility. That would be a fight worth watching too. I'd see a very close decision there, I'll lean towards Ray but just!

    If we're talking the best version than Mercer by KO. Berbick was more consistent but didnt really have any standout skills, just solid overall.

    Mercer at his best wins a UD
    Mercer not on top of his game loses a decision to the awkward Berbick.

    This.

    Close fight, but UD for Mercer in his absolute prime.
