Daxx, Joe Mesi is being unfairly treated by the governing bodies and athletic commissions and yeah it's because he had a brain bleed.

Had he NEVER had a brain bleed he would have lost by now....you seem irate that he hasn't lost when it's not his fucking fault that nobody wants to fight him.

Do you honestly think he's making as much money fighting Shannon Miller in Rhode Island than he would if he were to have a title shot in Las vegas Sure he's keeping boxing as his main means of earning money but he's not getting the money he could be getting.

The only difference between Joe Mesi and Edwin Valero besides weight is that Valero had a guy in WBA Champion Vincente Mosquera who wasn't afraid to give Valero a shot....if a heavyweight champion gave Mesi a shot, i'm 100% sure he'd take it. Mesi doesn't fight bums because he wants to or because he's told to it's because if he wants to continue fighting he has to fight bums.

Joe was never a world beater and he was never going to be an all-time great but he fought with heart and he fights whoever is put infront of him. Whether it's right for him to continue or not is not my place to decide but he deserves a little bit more respect because he's boxing for the love of the sport right now he has NO SHOT at fighting for a title anytime soon and he's still fighting to try and get his shot.
