He should have never taken a fight with a 50 year old retired boxer. He had nothing to gain but a whole lot to lose.

wow Sylvia... this is the guy who lost to Kimbo...
Yeah, but Mercer didn't throw a real punch in that fight. Kimbo bull rushed him, threw a bit, clinched, and took Mercer down.
This is a somewhat embarrassing loss for Sylvia, in my opinion, but not a legacy-wrecker. Mercer might be old, but he was a heavyweight champion in boxing with something like 46 wins. I think Jens Pulver had it right - Sylvia was kinda stupid for taking this fight.
