Mesi versus Greenberg...what great marketing and promotional potential. Two undefeated, white prospects. One is an Italian and one is a Jew (and lived in Israel no less). What's not to like? Its a throwback to the golden days of boxing in the Garden. Too bad Mesi can't fight in NYC though. I will watch it because its great entertainment.
There is no telling how good Mesi is anymore but the old Mesi (TOS) fight would KO Greenburg, there is a reason he has been protected and has not fought anyone yet,oviously because he cant fight
This may be very true. But, this would be a fight for Joe Mesi to prove/show otherwise. Time for Mesi to put up or do something else.
It's a good mtch up for both. Neather is a HBO/Showtime boxer. I think Messi has seen better days and Greenberg is still devloping. I can see the winner fighting a top 15 heaveyweight next but not anything bigtime. I think Greenberg is good enough to beat Messi.
First Mesi takes on Minto and then fights Greenberg?! These are decent match-ups and challenges for Mesi. If he truly wants a title fight by the end of '08 he is finally on the right path. But he could stub his toe in the process. They are no easy matches.
