Mesi has mediocre skills as proven when he finally stepped up & fought Barrett & Jirov...he eeked by against Barrett (a C level heavyweight with little punch) & he barely got out alive against Vasilly (Cruiser to heavy back to Cruiser) Jirov.

Mesi has two things going for him...a lingering HBO contract with millions of backing & the fact that he's marketable as the next GWH.

That's it. He can punch...but only against lower grade fighters. Fighters with game give him issues.

He should not be in the ring...anyone that's nabbed with a subdural hemotoma is practically begging for brain damage or worse...death.

IWO...he's bad for the sport.
