    Adamek is easily a top 5 heavyweight, anyone below that would be a better option for Mitchell.

      I'm so out of touch with heavyweight boxing that I didn't even know Michael Grant was still fighting.

        went 12 with adamek recently i believe. he won maybe two rounds. hurt thomasz in the 12th. he's still huge

        stopped fields, too. not much more than a sideshow, that fight.
        it was a great kayo, though
        grant still has a gigantic body and punch.

        maybe i can dig it up when i get the chance

          Is that right? I remember years ago, I thought he was going to be a MAJOR fighter in the heavyweight division.

            He should fight Deontay Wilder, to see who really is the true up and comer from both of them.

              Won't happen, too much risk for both.

                Good fight for Mitchell. He needs another fight or two against guys like this before a step up to someone like Arreola.

                  Well that won't help him, either.

                      mitchell gets better every time he fights


                      remember how clumsy his right hand looked against ibragimov? he was just pushing it out there and clubbing him.

                      he threw it straight against witherspoon to finish him off. huge punch


                      his best shot is still his left hook. natural punch. he turns it right over and it's short. nice to a HW punching the body

                      his career will be wildly exciting and a shot in the arm for the division

                      i think he'll lose to arreola, chambers, adamek if he can stay healthy, chisora, and obviously the klitschkos

                      i wouldnt be surprised to see HBO buy a wladimir / mitchell fight in 2013 and bring the division back to the states.

                      wladimir via knockout in five or six rounds. tons of jabs and then a brutal round or two to finish him off. it will be rough for mitchell.
