How far would Joe Mesi have gone?

[p4pking]

*Mesi was an OK fighter..the best thing that ever happened to him was that he not fight Wlad, Lennox or Vitali... at least now , he can always argue that he couldve beaten them, and being undefeated.. at least it would be in question.

Povetkin could argue that as well for the moment.

I don't buy that at all. Neither guy is going to be in the dicussion of beating anyone elite, since they haven't proven capable of it and had glaring weaknesses in spite of never losing. It's one thing to protect a 0 after you've risen to be a dominant fighter, being undefeated without ever facing a top threat is worthless.

I think comparing Povetkin and Mesi as things stand is quite fair though, they both have a couple of "wins" that basically take all the stock out of being undefeated. I really thought Povetkin was pretty good until he fought Eddie Chambers, not to mention almost losing to Marco Huck. He''s a pile of shit and Wlad will pole axe him.
