I don't think he would have amounted to a great deal in the division but he might have become one of the gatekeepers.

His record shows he's got some skill and power. But he got hit too much by Jirov. Needs to be more defensively evasive.

He fought six times Apr 2006-Apr 2007, against very unimpressive competition, clearly just to stay in the game. His injuries are of concern, but if he's fighting, he's fighting. He may as well step it up and give it a shot if he's not going to get out. A bum can hurt him as bad as top level competition if he's getting hit. If it's going to happen, let him at least be pursuing his dream when it does, not fighting bums at county fairs. And ... maybe it won't happen, anyway. Maybe he's fine. Hope we never have to learn otherwise.

Don't mean to sound flippant about the risk; just that he's already taking it ...
WHAT THE F!!$#%@. With respect,did Jirov hit YOU Too
Ok,so if I enter an intersection against a red light,It might as well be a porsche Hitting me as opposed to a Chevy Nova??
I Like mesi,I Like Him Exactly As is......Intelligent,productive and there for his family.Joe Get's Hit "ugly"I.E,he does not go down,he teeters and throws back.Barret began what Jirov Pronounced.Joe should Retire,With honor.
Maybe he should retire. But he's not retiring. That's a fact, and there's nothing we can do to change it.

As far as the Nova and the 911C, yep, you hit it on the head. You can't get any more dead than just barely. Personally, I'd rather go out against a 911C - the car of my dreams - than against a "No-Go." (en epanish no va = no go)

I can't disagree with you that it might be best for Mesi retire. And I don't. Since he's not going to, then what? No opinions about how he should proceed in his non-retirement course can possibly be politically correct enough to be stated? Eh ... gee, then all we can talk about is fiction. Mesi's non-existent retirement. The should-a instead of the is. Boring if you ask me, like living in denial. Go for it.

Sorry - I stand by what I wrote. If he's going to fight, fight up. There's no point in playing chicken with Novas.
