    probably never would have had the chin to be champ but would have been a damn entertaining fighter during a period of very dull uncompetitive fighters. Believe most others hit it on the head would have beaten some top ten guys and would have lost to some sucks to see a career end early like that.

    Didn’t he receive the brain damage from a dirty shot? If I remember correctly

    I haven’t thought about it in a long time but I think you’re right. It was against Jirov and Mesi was either down or being rabbit punched but I don’t remember if Jirov was penalized...

    Iggy would have KO'd him. Mesi was what he was. A small sized heavyweight with decent power and a below average chin. Just okay skills. Some hand speed. Might not even be top ten today.
