Both appeared on the same HBO card back in September 2003.
Mesi fired up the crowd by knocking Davarryl Williamson out in the 1st round of the main event.
Gomez outclassed then-unbeaten Sinan Samil Sam on the undercard.
A usually classy Mesi criticized Gomez' performance in his post-fight interview.
Gomez, on his part, issued an official letter to Team Mesi, in which he challenged Mesi to a fight.
The fight never came to fruition, though.
Who would've won, had they faced each other in late 2003-early 2004?
Joe Mesi vs Juan Carlos Gomez
Re: Joe Mesi vs Juan Carlos Gomez
Gomez-wide decision.
