I picked "Tex" Cobb. Mercer is definitely the only fighter (in any weight class) that I remember who was so willing to stand right in front of his opponent and trade with them....without trying to block their punches. He simply took 'em right on the face and threw back. He was tough, too!
lol maricano and dempsey?yeah i guess that is why dempsey was knocked out in the first round and maricano was down 2 times on one punch by guys who began their careers as middleweights.and mercer was knocked down by holyfield .the same holyfield who couldnt knock down a old foreman so formean has a better chin than mercer and foreman doenst have the best chin chuvalo does
The ability to be able to get up after the punch is how I judge a man on how he can take a punch. Marciano, only undefeated Heavyweight champ, ever. Nuff said on that.
List another heavyweight to fight with a broken jaw and win. That takes balls. Jack Dempsey.
Chuvalo and Randal Tex Cobb. The interview on the tonight show with Cob after his fight with Holmes was funny. He said if the fight had of gone into the the sixteenth or seventeenth round he would have won cause he felt Homes woulda got tired of hitting him by then. lol
