Ocho Cinco would win hands down. He would speedbag Merriman. Merriman strikes me as a complete ***got who bullies people smaller, but backs down in the face of a real fight. Man, I lived for strappin 'em up and kicking the piss out ****ies like him for sixty minutes. While I don't wear toughguy tapout shirts or advertize a MMA gym in my sig, I have some experience with the sweet science and other forms of combative sports. Merriman is a big blow kind of guy. If he boxes like he plays football, we're talking about a guy who tries to set up a 2-3 or a 3-4 knockout. Big, powerful, explosive without technique. Ochocinco has superior reach, superior quickness, better footwork, better hands, likely more bob, and I seriously doubt Merriman having a chin of any kind. It would look a lot like a poor man's Liston-Clay.
