    I like, and always have liked, Mitchell as a fighter. I've seen him in person and he is huge. I don't doubt that he can't make the 140 limit anymore. He did offer a catch weight of 145 but it wouldn't be smart for Cotto to take that. Maybe 142 or 143 would've made it happen.

      they offered him ONLY a few hundred grand to fight shane mosley and he said the money wasnt good enough...

      They offer him 800,000 to fight cotto and he says he doesnt care about the money....


      BUSTED!!

        Funny how Mitchell has stopped calling KT a fatboy & a bum??!! Now he thinks Tszyu's a good fighter, but the weight was the real problem...!

            imo mitchell would expose cotto. mitchell looke like garbage when he fought zoo but who doesnt look bad when they fight zoo(who is top 3 p4p). mitchell is still a very good fighter and cotto would be taken a huge risk fighting him

              I do not like Mitchell as an individual. He is a liar and every time he loses he makes excuses and he is basically just a piece of sh###T and overrated.

                Cotto would probably stop Mitchell if they fought IMO.

                  Mike Tyson actually has alot more integrity and class than people realize. Like after he lost to Evander Holyfield his promoter and everybody were wanting him to make up excuses of why he lost and Tyson refused to make excuses and payed respect to Evander. He just said Evander fought a great fight, (and he of course did) and that Evander was the better man that night.

                  That was the best performance of Evander's entire career IMO was his TKO victory over Tyson. He was such an underdog in that fight too. Nobody expected Evander to win. He was coming off knockout losses to Moore and Rid**** Bowe and was considering retirement. He really shocked the world when he defeated Mike Tyson, and Tyson made no excuse for that loss. He trained, he brought his best, and he lost, and he admitted it, and Tyson was 30 years old only, or 29.

                    I dont think he's really making excuses, i dont think he's lying about not being able to make weight, I DOUBT that had anything to do with the Tszyu fight,so maybe thats an excuse, he just tried to trade with Tszyu and BAM.I give him a decent chance against anbody who isnt a tremendous puncher, i think he could fight a close fight with cotto if he stayed out of range,but i doubt he would be able to do that the whole fight, i think cotto would stop him late, or score a solid UD.He was actually pretty humble after that Tszyu asswoopin, so Im still looking forward to see how h performs against people at his new weight.

                      I dont think Mitchell is scared of Cotto, I think he finds himself vulnerable against any 140 pounder. He suffered a devasting KO, just like Judah you're going to have doubts about your ability in that division when you lose so comprehensively.
