"MORE MESI"

There has been no love lost between heavyweight Joe Mesi and Buffalo News boxing scribe Tim Graham over the years. However, the newspaper's "Life & Arts" columnist Mary Kunz Goldman has a different take.

“Christmas was worth it, if only because we spent two hours trapped in a pew at St. Paul’s Cathedral with “Baby Joe” Mesi. We were there for a concert, which never seemed to end- but it was ok, "Baby Joe, in person, is one of the handsomest men we've ever seen," she wrote last week.

"His hands, his hair, his suit, everything was more perfect than in pictures. He is a big, dazzling Italian man, strong and silent, the best of his kind." When he got up to read “Yes, Virginia, There Is A Santa Clause,” Buzz nodded in agreement there really is a Santa Clause. Here’s proof.
