Mayweather vs. Mitchell in non-title Welter fight confirmed

[number6]

Very sorry but this fight is a joke,we have a guy most people see as the finest boxer pound for pound on the planet fighting in a non title fight at a different weight rather than defending his belt like a true champ.

Maybe not but thats no reason for Mayweather to be taking this low risk non title fight.

Who are you referring to?

I doubt Mitchell will beat Mayweather but I wouldn't write him off just because he got blown out by Tsyzu...Zab was dropped but people still give him a good chance against Mayweather

Know what I've just done? Dropped £20 (about $34) on Mitchell.

Why? He's at 11-2 on www.bet365.com and I can afford a tickle.

But think about it a minute... while Mayweather appears to be of an elite (not just of now, but of all time) that was against arguably inferior competition, and Mitchell ain't no bum.

While logic says it's a mismatch (and I voted for Floyd myself), the rise in weight and size difference might make it interesting. There's also the possibility Floyd will also underestimate Mitchell, as he arguably did against Castillo.

But forget all that. It's just £20, stranger things can happen, and if it does come off I'll make £100 (about $170). As a man who made a small packet on McBride, I'm definitely up for a gamble...

Floyd and Hatton better find a way to fight each other or they're both lame in my book. That is, unless they somehow fight even bigger names/threats. Even then though I'd still be upset a bit.

There is no reason for 8 ppl on this poll to say Floyd by KO other than that they just love Mayweather's balls to death. Floyd has never fought at 147. Floyd is significantly smaller than Mitchell. Mitchell is old and may well be done but he isn't gonna get KO'd by Floyd. Perhaps a TKO, but even that is unlikely.

Floyd UD Mitchell.

First off all we pick Floyd to win by knockout because he is an amazing fighter and secondly there is no TKO option on the poll to choose from.

Why did he say he wanted a year when he's going after Maussa now?

I think because for the pricetag Floyd has put on himself, the only venue that would support that fight is in the UK, where Floyd won't go.

So Hatton dumped Warren, wants to get another belt for leverage, and will fight in the US after Maussa (according to his team) and build the fight up as the battle of the unbeatens if neither gets upset first.

Plus, reading between the lines, Warren has said Hatton still owes him some fights and will not seek to stop the fights but attempt to obtain recompense from his future fights, so Hatton may want to chill with the mega-fights until he knows for certain that he's 1000% shed of Warren.

Anyway, the latest news that says Floyd has resigned a multi-fight deal with Top Rank means that we'll probably see Floyd fight Cotto or Margarito before he fights Judah or Hatton.

Hey, Super, eat those words!

"there is no reason for 8 people to say..."

I guess they were noobs, haters and Brits, right?
