I'm not sure what I think really. Marco Antonio Barrera famously had a metal plate inserted in his head and of course Edwin Valero suffered a serious head injury and can't get licensed in the US. Both of these are doing/did pretty well.

As for Mesi, I've never seen him as more than a blown up cruiserweight really and think he'd do better down there, especially with Haye leaving and Mormeck possibly retiring.

I don't think his heavyweight picture is too bleak though. I would imagine a fight with Roman Greenberg may happen in 08 and as a longshot I reckon he may even get a fight with Evander Holyfield.

Now whether I think a Mesi vs Holyfield fight would be good for boxing is another matter entirely.

All I can say is I would rather see that than Riddick Bowe vs Tommy Morrison
