Joe Mesi's future in boxing?

Baby Joe could have been the next big thing, sadly well never know as injury has robbed him of what he could have been. Hope he becomes senate of NY God bless you joe:boxing: Sadly the injury occurred because he wasn't the next big thing. HE HURT HIMSELF GETTING HIS HEAD KNOCKED AROUND BY JIROV. People talk about it like he was hurt doing something other than beating the man's fist up with his face. He got hurt because he wasn't as good as he thinks he is.

I read recently that he is running for senate in NY..but still dreams of becoming HW champ. What do you guys think about Joe's comeback will he ever earn a title shot? Is he good enough? Has he missed the boat because of his injury? How good was he in his prime? :boxing: I hate Joe Mesi. He talks about himself like he's God's gift to boxing. IF he had become Heavyweight champion MAYBE he could talk about himself like that. BUT he DIDN'T. He got knocked stupid in his fights against Monte Barret and Vassily Jirov. THey're both decent heavyweights, but if you get knocked down 6 times against Barret and Jirov, you AREN'T God's gift to anything.

Future? He has no future in boxing, period.

Imo he was never going to be as big as his hype. pre or post injury.

There might have been more to The cancellation of Fridays planned fight with Terry smith than is being revealed.Hope he wins election.When/If he steps up in class I think he is a KO waiting to happen.

Joe Mesi was the type of heavyweight that you got excited about in a stagnant division. He showed some very promising things; there was skill there- sure, he had flaws but before he got injured it wasn't as if he had arrived. Mesi was a rising stock in the division; not an elite. So, we'll never know what could have been without that injury if he got more fights, polished and improved, and was able to stay active. Since the injury I think he's shown diminished motor reflexes; maybe some neurological impairment. Not enough to damage his life; but enough to damage his chances of being an elite fighter. If Joe Mesi really is running for senate I think it shows he is aware that his career isn't going to go the way he dreamed and he's trying to diversify his involvements; or, in other words, that he has one foot out the door.

I never thought much of him before the injury,and think less of him now... He could if he continues get a title shot...but will he earn one?...no...

Joe Mesi... heavyweight champ? .. Not with Klitschko around, no way. He'd lose to every top heavyweight. Yeah from what Ive seen of him lately not too impressive but I never saw him fight before his injury. Still I think he may do better with guys like Chambers and Povetkin or Ibragamov but Klitchko dont think so.
