Joe Mesi

"Baby" Joe Mesi (born November 27, 1973) is an American retired boxer and politician from Tonawanda, New York. He is a registered member of the Democratic Party.

Early life

Joe grew up in Tonawanda, New York, a suburb of Buffalo. He attended Sweet Home High School in Amherst, New York. He did not start his boxing career until he was about 19 years of age.

Boxing career

He was a New York State Golden Gloves champion, and as an amateur boxer he defeated future two-time Heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman. Mesi made it all the way to the finals in the 1996 Olympic Trials, but lost to eventual US heavyweight representative Lawrence Clay-Bey. In Buffalo, for a brief period, Joe was once considered by some to be the city's "third professional franchise," with the Buffalo Sabres and Buffalo Bills being the other two. Joe is still often seen at Bills and Sabres games and also supports many local charities.

Injury and suspension

Mesi's promising boxing career was set back greatly when an MRI indicated he had suffered at least one, perhaps two subdural hematomas

Famous quotes by Joe Mesi:

"It's not supposed to prejudice a judge, but judges are only human,"

"We're certain we're going to fight again, whether it is under the court case and my suspension being lifted and reinstated in the U.S. or fighting elsewhere,"

"We've been weeding through offers from other parts of the world. Our case has raised a lot of awareness. We've had quite decent offers. I won't say from where or from who, but we're starting to look into them."

"It's wonderful. I got off the plane, and the first thing they did was give me my license."

"I could be boxing against Hulk Hogan or Mickey Mouse. It just feels great to be boxing again, legally."

"All I know is, I can and will be the world champion."

"It's about 90 degrees down here. I'll fight in the 230s. Will I be all the way back down to 230 (by April 1)? I don't know and I don't care."

"By summertime, I'll probably be back on HBO, fighting world-caliber competition again."

"I think that, as crazy as it sounds, the two-year layoff might be a blessing in this situation."

"If this were the 1970s, when the Top 15 guys were all great, I probably would go home. But it's all about timing, and I could be on top right now."

Lose Control

by: James

Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is talking of
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is dreaming of
Come to bed
Come to bed
Come to bed
I cannot sleep in all this heat
Come to bed
Come to bed
This terror's all within my head
Don't be deceived, no land in sight
We're all adrift in this dark night
We float on seas of disbelief
While singing songs of pain relief
Shake my body - release my soul
Punish my senses - lose control
This body's young but my spirit's old
Scatter my ashes and let my feelings go
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is talking of
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is dreaming of
Don't be deceived, no land in sight
We're all adrift in this dark night
We float on seas of disbelief
While singing songs of pain relief
Shake my body - release my soul
Punish my senses - lose control
This body's young but my spirit's old
Scatter my ashes and let my feelings go
Shake my body - release my soul
Punish my senses - lose control
