Clinton Mitchell actually was Bernard Hopkins's professional debut. The one loss out of the four that is never mentioned. The strange thing is that was Mitchell's debut too, and he didn't fight for seven years after that win. He ended his career 3-1-1, kind of strange for a guy who beat one of the best of all time.
