Joe Mesi (above, left) did not announce himself as the savior of the heavyweight division, even though he remains undefeated after surviving former cruiserweight Vassiliy Jirov last Saturday. Mesi was decked three times in the final two rounds; if the fight had gone 10 seconds longer, he might have been shuffled back to Buffalo, the site of many of his fights. Still, in a division in which upcoming bouts such as Chris Byrd- Andrew Golota and John Ruiz- Fres Oquendo pass for important fights, and where Evander Holyfield can still cause a stir at 41, who's to say?
