    Povetkin would exploit his many weaknesses, same with the K brothers, Arreola. Mitchel is nothing special at all and doesn't have the tools to be.

      Actually, Id be down for Arreola-Mitchell. Sure, Mitchell is easy to hit, but hes got pretty good right hand power. Its easy as hell to hit Arreola with that right hand, tons of people have done it, and Ive seen Arreola flustered early because of it.

      Its a winnable fight for Mitchell, although I dont think I would favor him.

        I'll tell you what; Witherspoon sure knows how to lose a fight.

        Mitchell couldn't even stand up by himself and Witherspoon still couldn't get him out of there?

        I don't think Mitchell knew how to win the fight; I think Witherspoon just knew how to lose the fight.

          Mitchell has a long way to go. He has no head or foot movement whatsoever. These heavies are too big and tall now for him to lack those things.

          Still really raw to me. Good fight though and good resolve on his part coming back.

            There are the Klitschko brothers, and then there's everybody else. This guy has no business with a Klitschko, will never have.

            Funny how people (Americans) in a twisted way try to undermine the Klitschko's greatness, by saying the the 'American hope' Seth Mitchell will bring excitement and life back into the 'dead' HW division.

            The HW division is not dead, but it consist as I said of the Klitscko's in their own league, and then everybody else, mostly chubby Americans and European CW's.

              That was a real shock to see Mitchell in that much trouble in the first round. I liked how he got back into the fight after that.

                Wlad himself has said he is is very interested in Mitchell as a future opponent.

                  people who think mitchell is a savior of american heavyweight boxing are just silly as he started boxing at age 25.

                  but he does bring excitement, that much can't be denied. last night was a very fun fight.

                    I like the comparison to a green version of Tommy Morrison and while he may never set the HW division on fire, should give us some entertaining bouts trying.

                      I like Mitchell but if he is the future of America heavyweights we are in pretty sad shape indeed.
