"BABY" JOE MESi vs ROMAN GREENBERG?

Mesi destroys Greenberg. Greenberg is just waiting to be exposed, and even a fighter like Mesi should be able to do that. Unfortunately, he won't be able to expose Greenberg's shaky chin, but he will be able to expose his lack of skill or natural ability.

 

Mesi just hasnt looked good at all since he came back, not sure he will ever get anywhere near what he was.

That being said Ive never been impressed by Greenburg at all. He really is quite average and its no suprise he has fell off the radar as a prospect recently. Much is made of his Jewish heritage, but he was born in Russia and he sounds Pom. I think people are trying to make him into the next Jew hope, there isnt anything wrong with that but I dont know those kind of things never sit with me right when the guys are totally of that heritage. Seems a bit exploitive.

I'll lean towards Mesi, but Joe has definitely been better, whether he is capable of getting there again I dont know.

 

I wanna get paid to watch this

 

I have to agree. Greenberg looks very limited and the journeymen he's beaten, i.e. Michael Simms, Kendrick Releford, are guys that didn't take it to him at all and let him plod his way to a decision. In fact, if Releford would have let his hands go just a bit more, he wins that fight.

The first guy that pressures Greenberg and has any power at all is going to give him fits. Mesi fits that profile.

 

LOL someone actually voted for Greenberg KO LOL

 

I voted draw, because while Mesi CERTAINLY would have blown out the shockingly mediocre Greenberg prior to his layoff, the only KO he's scored was against some tomato can with a glass jaw. Now, if Greenberg's chin is as bad as people say, maybe Mesi could do it, but his skills seem to have deteriorated so much, I have my doubts. Still, if I had to call it one way or another, I'd say Mesi - but with Mesi's current condition, this is a pick 'em fight. Which says alot about how far he's fallen.

 

If Mesi was black nobody would be paying attention, he was a 'never was' in terms of his true ability to start with.

But a competitive enough white, or even hispanic HW is very marketable in America, as long as they are not Eastern European.

 

Mesi

 

If I had a dollar for every time you type the phrase "glass jaw," I could roll like PBF.

 

C'mon, I mix it up a bit!! I use terms like "china chin," and "fragile whiskers" too!!:yep

 

I've seen Greenberg a few times over the years and he has talent but not the right attitude to be truly successful, I pick Mesi by clear UD and a very possible ko.

 

i like greenberg. he´d put mesi in the hospital...again.

 

Indeed. Anyone who thinks the U.S. "great white hope" phenemona is dead is kidding themselves. Indeed, it largely accounts for all the attention Mesi has gotten, despite the fact that as soon as he began to fight decent fighters, he started hitting the canvas.

And it accounts for all the attention he STILL gets even though it OBVIOUS he's a non-factor going nowhere.:yep

 

Mesi should still be good enough to KO Greenberg...................
