      I agree with Salita.

      I've seen him fight a couple times now and just haven't been impressed.

        Kevin Mitchell is over hyped as soon as he moves up in class he will lose, gets hit way to often, doesnt keep his hands up. Mitchell is building up his record fighting below average fighters, Murray & Burns are better prospects at super feather both would beat Mitchell.

          Burns is going to get an "L" on his record very soon though.


          I think Mitchell is legit.

            I think Khan is overrated, will get put down far too often and won't have the power at light welter and above. That said, he's very young, will get the best preparation and has a lot of talent in other areas of his game (accuracy, balance, speed).

            From what I've seen of Mitchell he isn't overhyped, just touted as a good prospect which he certainly is.

              jaidon codrington. the way he got KO'd exposed him. stevens is the only chin checker in that camp, and even he has many flaws.

              while litzau is a bit overhyped, i have respect for his survival skills. mother****er knows how to take a punch and use his legs to not take a second one. he's almost as good as cotto at surviving after a big punch. now he just has to learn some lateral head movement, he should get a better trainer

                ricky hatton is also overhyped. while the guy has skills, he will be vulnerable when he goes up against a top echelon fighter in the US since he relies on holding. he doesn't hold like wlad holds either, wlad holds then hits you with straight shots, hatton holds and wahcks you on the back of the head cuz he's used to backwards euro boxing rules..wait until he fights in the US and has to make clean breaks and can't hold etc against a guy like judah with an accurate power hand.

                I can see it now. He tries to hold vs judah, ref breaks them, you know judah can hit that dude in like .2 seconds with his straight left hand, he's gonna get gtfo

                if he's smart, he'll stay in england.

                  I believe in Malignaggi. That jab of his is a killer...

                    Just about any prospect who comes out of New York City is overhyped...
