What if Mesi was in the mix?

I think Mesi would be right in this, I think that the end of the jirov fight was fluky. He has very decent power and good skills for a heavyweight.

I for some reason have never liked the guy but it just came to me given the state of the HW division right now where do you think he would be now and/or how much of a player would he be for instance if he was granted a pass to compete again?I feel like he was waiting to be exposed ny a good fighter considering his outings with Barrett and Jirov were heading downhill at the end of the fight which were 10 rounders not 12 in which champions have to fight.

I don't know, Jirov almost killed him out there. Jirov can pack a punch but imagine if Brewster got him... I think he should stay out.

I agree was just wondering what other posters thought....He is like a white out of prime Tyson he is very dangerous early and very aggresive but seems to run out of gas and have very little defense later in fights.

Mesi kicked ASS! He ****ed up Davarrly Williamson 1 million times better than Wlad did (who I think lost that fight).

He could beat everyone of the top heavy's right now except for James Toney, Wlad and Sam Peter.

I remember after the Jirov fight (or was it before?) he wanted to get a fight against Tyson. As shot as Tyson is, after the brain damage Jirov gave him, Mesi really may have been killed if he'd have fought Tyson, since Mike does have a few good rounds in him.

True thats right but it would be a hell of a 2 or 3 rounds and given what I can tell from Mesis chin Mike could still one punch KO him if it lands right.....he made a huge mistake by fight Williams and McBride given their sizes he could still beat an average guy his size who can't take his beginning frurries.

Gimme a break, like someone on this board said a long time ago, Williamson was moving around the ring like he was wearing high heels that night.

Toney would school him every round, Wlad would probably KO him, he could have a chance against Peter, he had a pretty good speed and could avoid Peter's punches. Brewster kills Mesi, 50/50 with Rahman.

I think Peter would destroy him Mesi has nowhere the skill as Wlad and Peter showed he is no joke and can take some shots...Peter KO Mesi within 6 IMO.

Ya, as I said, he would have a chance but it wouldn't be big enough for me to bet on it

What if Mesi was in the mix?
