    Mitchell is the perfect example of football tough, being different from boxing tough

    Spare me with all that noise about how if you take an NFL player, rewind his life and put him in boxing as a kid, that somehow he'll be dominant.

    NO. Its not going to happen. Being big and tough in football, doesn't translate to boxing. I know Seth didn't train since he was a kid, but you see what he lacks, a chin for one, and boxing toughness for another. Dude was visibly shaken when he stood across from Chris at the refs instructions. Football tough, is completely different than boxing and fighting tough. One guy here has the perfect avi. It shows other athletes in their sports pretending to be hurt, and the boxer, bloody and beat, pretending not to be hurt.

    Bottom line, the great american heavyweight, is not in the NFL. Put that tired and lame argument to rest.

    Didn't you have Mitchell winning big?
    And because one guy doesn't have a chin they all don't have a chin?

      Mitchell started boxing late in his life, now if he'd boxing as a child it's a different story. Of course he's going to be amateurish, he had 10 amateur fights and stepped up early AF.

      Guess who this is:

        Bro, that's ******ed. What if Mitchell never played ball and boxed at the age of 7? He would be a totally different athlete.

        You start boxing in your 20's, you dont build a punch resistance like guys who box their whole lives for. If Ali picked up boxing at age 25 he would have been a bum too. Takes years of work and dedication.

          Yeah. Comparing team sports to individual sports is an absolutely worthless. When you get hit on the chin, you can't goto the sidelines and clear the cobwebs, then stand around for awhile between plays and slap each other on the ass.

            If you grow up boxing you can develop a chin. Your skull will literally get harder from all the punches you take early in life. It also builds pain tolerance.

            At 25, your chin is set in stone. Even the most strict training in the world would only make a marginal difference at best.

              It was a joke. I've always said Mitchell was wack.

                Nice myth. You develop chin from defensive reflexes.

                The NFL is shook.
