Before the injury Joe was a solid Top 10 fighter. Everyone forgets he beat Barrett and blasted TOS in 1 Round, which are not easy feats. However, after the injury he suffered in the Jirov fight, I don't think we'll ever see what he really could've been. I'm not saying he would've been undisputed world champ, but would I give a pre-hematoma Mesi a puncher's chance against a previous beltholder like Maskaev or Corrie Sanders? Sure.
I think Mesi will take Minto to school. Mesi is a slick heavyweight. I'm pretty sure Mesi will KO Minto.
Although I don't think he will outbox Minto...I do think he will knock out Brinto pretty easily!! Mesi in 3!!
Why are you guys saying Minto is a step-up for Mesi? If anything, Mesi is a step-up for Minto, Id favor Minto abit heavily in this one.
Just to clarify Chef this was written like a year ago, and it explains my frustration with the never was that is Joe Mesi... i can't stand him especially the way he claims he should be the heavyweight champion... My comments were made to illustrate the kind of crap we will have to listen to if this guy continue's to fight, eventually he's going to die in the ring and it will be bad for boxing. Obviously Mesi would last all of 30 seconds in the ring with Wlad who I've made it clear on many occasions is my fav fighter and the best fighter in the world... just wanted to make sure you didn't have me pegged as a Mesi nutthugger
False, he squeaked by Barret who is maybe top 20 and at the time not even that, TOS I don't give much credit to either... and any boxing fan knows mesi was out on his feet due to a huge uppercut from Jirov...
The Minto real deal thing is a joke of course. It'd be nice if Meis had continued his comeback in the HW division, didn't look he was going anywhere though.
Are you an imbecile? I mentioned numerous times on this thread how this is from a year ago and I'm bumping it to show how terrified the division is of Mighty Minto :bart
