    Mitchell is great to watch. He's like our own JMM just nowhere near as good, obviously. My favourite British fighter, really. He has more than one way of fighting which is always a plus for a British fighter. Had a nightmare against Katsidis but I've always insisted Mitchell would win that fight most of the time.
    He's in my top 5 favourite of all fighters currently. Not just British fighters.

    I think he has good potential also. Not sure he could be a British great or have that kind of potential. But, he is very good I feel.

    He deserves to be World Champion IMO. He's a throwback, put anyone infront of him and he will fight them. It doesn't matter who it is, and I respect that about Mitchell.

    I think he could have beaten Katsidis but I think it would always be a tough fight for him.

    I'd love to see him win a world title, even if it's just a paper title. He deserves it.

If Kev could cope with the pressure and fight on the back foot I'd agree with you, but he was stopped in the 3rd round and buckled far too easy, there's no way he'd last 12 rounds against Rios. Guererro and Marquez and the only 135ers that would beat Rios.
          Tbf, Mitchell was not right in that fight. His training was a total mess in every aspect as was his personal life.

          He was fine under pressure against Prescott and boxed nicely, same with Murray. I think he's a top fighter and that him vs Rios would be a very good scrap.

            Mitchell would be Ko'd, lets face it. I don't think he would even beat Burns to be honest, Burns has come on leaps and bounds of late.

                He's a little too young to be my Father.

                  I agree, Mitchell would have "no troubles" with Rios as long as he considers getting the **** kicked out of him as having "no troubles". Maybe real troubles to him would be overdue taxes and getting beat down by Rios does not qualify. In that case, he is correct.

                    Kevin is a fine boxer.

                    He would put on a good effort.

                    Kevin can be a problem for anybody at 135/140.

                      All signs point to a quick Rios stoppage. I would be shocked if Mitchell lasts 5 or 6 rounds.
