And don't think that Mercer is that far off He was training to fight Hasim Rahman in June the fight fell through so he has be training for a 10 round fight
but I could be wrong I mean he was training for Rahman not a Sean Gannon caliber fighter

I agree that Mercer was a great boxer, but he looked like shit against Shannon Briggs his last fight, and that was in 2005. Ten years ago I wouldn't have argued against Mercer for a second, but the man is shot.
That being said I'm no fan of Kimbo either, and I am curious to see what happens if they stay on their feet and slug it out.
