Smart guy to hear out but come on life w/o boxing or take a chance at a serious injury or worst.

i think he is dumb for tryin to come back, if his brain was bleeding once then it can happen again, he should just retire. If he comes back and fights someone like klitschko he will be killed, or really damaged, i dont think he should put that kinda pressure on his opponent, i would feel really ****ty if I fought him then all of a sudden hes blind or ******ed or even dead.because of the blows that I layed on him, JUst retire.

i htink he wants to come back for 3 big fights then retire so he never has to work again..dont think he has made enough to retire yet

Be should just retire and avoid risking any serious damage to his brain. It's not worth it...

i hope he can fight w/o getting seriously hurt... i think he'd lose to most of the other contenders, but it should be entertaining to watch him...

It his head. His body. His life. He should be able to make his own descisions on what he wants to do. And it not for anybody to judge. If gets braindamage in there, well he knew it was a risk when he made an assesment of the situation. And the situation is for him to assess. Not boxing fans or boxing commissions. He has not had many big fights. He needs money. If I were him I would probably try to get back in the ring and back to selling out convention centers in Buffalo.

Boxing commissions need to save fighters from themselves,like Mesi,Bowe,Holyfield,etc, in order to preserve the best interests of the sport. Boxing doesn't need another'ring of fire'. Boxing only suffers from these tragic incidents and the bad publicity they cause.

I agree with you, he does know the possible results of his fighting again, and it is his body, and he made a good point about fighters rarely being checked after fights, and the mainstream boxing world never finding out exactly how often this type of thing happens. So IMO it would be truly tragic if he were to be injured or lose his life over a boxing match, but it should be his decision to make.

Yeah, but it looks bad on boxing as a whole if he comes back, and dies. Then people find out that he had suffered some brain damage before, and boxing is in a world of trouble. People will ask, "Why did they allow him back in the first place?" The answer is the silly: "It was his choice!" Yeah, it WAS, but if he runs a higher risk than you normally would, WHY would you let this guy back?

Boxing is still a sport, and there are still sanctioning bodies over it. If they say no, the answer is no. He's better off not coming back if he's been damaged in the past.

Mesi should feel lucky that he got injured before he ran into an actual power puncher like a Klitschko or Rahman or heck even Ruiz, because those guys would have ended his miserable life, Jirov has no power and he nearly killed the man, what would Lennox have done to Toddler Joe?

I've been outspoken on this subject for a while, and I still feel that this was Team Mesi's bad karma waiting to happen, they took the Gerry Cooney route with Toddler Joe and tried to inflate his record with a bunch of stiffs in order to get a few HBO paydays, it worked for about a year and then once Joe fought guys with a pulse he couldn't keep his feet under him....I hope all of the commissions do Joe a favor and keep him and his greedy daddy out of boxing altogether

Is Mesi ****** for wanting to fight again ???
