Can Mesi beat one of the Russians and win a title?

mesi in my opinion has a good and decent skills the fighters he did beat in his prime barret and jirov were very close decisions i dont think now or ever he could of competed with any title holders his chins a little soft also

 

well barret i thought won. Jirov on the other hand i didn't really have close at all.

 

didnt barret knock him down in the last round and mesi to hang on cause his legs were all jelly i have both on tape somewhere

 

Not a snow ball's change in hell.

 

Thats pretty accurate statement.

The question should be >>>>> Who can he beat ??? Period !!!

 

Maybe against a Russian featherweight champ?

 

Uh. **** no. He can't beat ANY of the top 25. NONE of them.

 

No - Klitschko, Maskaev, Ibragimov, and Chagaev all beat up Mesi

 

No chance vs Wlad, and very slim chances vs the other 3.

 

In short, NO !

At this point, it doesn't look like it. His comeback seemed to be picking up some earlier in the year when he started out active and with a couple of quick first-round knockouts, one over a semi-decent opponent, but he's been delayed all summer now by back injuries and is nearly 34 years old at this point. I doubt he'll ever be as good as he was in 2003 again(look at, say, the Davis and Williamson fights for peak Mesi), and he'd need to be that good to really have a strong chance at beating any of the beltholders, except maybe Maskaev, who I suppose he'd still have a perfectly solid puncher's chance against. That said, though, if you'd told someone back in 2003 when he had just been knocked out by T-rex Corey Sanders that Maskaev would be a major beltholder three years later at the age of 38, they probably would've laughed to your face- Mesi is still a pretty talented athlete with good power and a lot of heart, and he is still undefeated, so I don't think he can be written off.

 

Mesi has a puncher's chance against any rival,but .........to tell the truth he would probably lose big time against any present top 20 boxer IMO.

 

I'd have more luck fighting an Africal lion with a porkchop bone than Mesi would have against Wlad Klitschko. If he really wants brain damage and ruin his life, then that fight would do it. As for the Russians, I dont think that Chagaev, or Ibragimov would have any difficulty in doing what the do best, and thats outscoring and outboxing him for 12 rounds, but the accumulation of punches these two guys would land wouldn't be worth the risk. As for Oleg Maskaev, if he survives Sam Peter, I don't think he would be able to miss Mesi with power shots, after he paved the way with a body attack. I don't think Mesi punches hard enough to keep Maskaev off of him. Mesi shouldn't be so foolish, and retire. The risks to his brain aren't worth it.
