Not sure about this one. Mercer was a bit underrated. But Joe is Joe. I'mma have to get back to you on this one.

 

[H.I.M.]

Might be important to note that Mercer has received damn there half a dozen gift decisions against journeymen over the course of his career...arguably should've lost to an old, fat 41 year old Tim Witherspoon. Got lopsidedly trounced by a 42 year old and all of his best wins have come when he was way down on the cards (Morrison & Diamani)...not to mention his overall best performances were in losing efforts (Lennox & Holyfield)

Mercer was a hell of a puncher and brawler but couldn't box for shyt. Louis all the way

 

[Jello Biafra]

Ray is one of my favorite fighters who never really lived up to their true potential but I am going to have to go with Joe in this one.
Brown Bomber by unanimous decision.

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Joe Louis by Late KO

He's just on another level when it comes to skills. He's one of the best one two punchers of all time. Precise accurate punching power. Knows how to stalk and get guys out of there. Quick release and reflex timing on his shots. Dude is a legit beast.

Mercer will hang tough for a while, but will ultimately get soul clapped.

 

[Quarterback]

The Brown Bomber. The fear of paying his back taxes will motivate him to whup Merciless Ray Mercer's ass. Ray will wish Joe was Tommy Morrison, but Joe ain't no chump, he's the best of his era. Joe by UD in 12.

 

[InvictusAeternusEternus]

Joe would beat Ray into a pulp and get a nasty KO by, id say round 7

 

[TheLukieBaby]

Joe Louis


I would say though that Ray Mercer would give him fits and could even knock him out early.

 

[Newzz]

Joe Louis by decision.
