Will he ever fight for a title?

won 36 (KO 29) + lost 0 (KO 0) + drawn 0

mesi was starting to get popular a few years ago, and started getting fights on HBO, he started getting wins over notable guys, and he fought jirov, won by a decision, but had like 3 separate spots of bleeding on the brain, he was banned from fighting and didnt even get to train for like 2 or 3 years while he was trying to get his license to fight back, now he is nothing like what he was, he was decent a few years ago and he was getting better but it seems now he no longer has the potential to be even as good as he was, and most people feel he should quit so he doesnt get killed


its not known why some people get hemorages on the brain and others dont, and mesis argument is that there is no reason to think he is more susceptible then another fighter, but there are studies that suggest once its happened to you once you are more likely to have it happen again
