Discussion in 'Classic Boxing Forum' started by Vince Voltage, . Okay you heavyweight-loving nerds, who would win between these two bombers? Both had a 74% ko average but on ring record, quality of opponent & height the edge has to lean towards Mercado. Knoetzes right hand bolo punch was a telling factor right up to the last minute of each match when they ended. Both would have been one or other world champion titlist in this era. Best thread in ages. Knoetze would bestride this era as a Goliath.
