    Khan's been boxing since he was 10 years old and he has no chin. Mitchell is a tough mofo for getting this far with very little experience. He just Cant compete with the elite because he is very inexperienced and he does not have the natural ability. But to say he is not tough? Gtfo

      He's an ex college football linebacker and a professional boxer. Yet the dude is not tough...LOL

      He says this mind you from his nice comfy home and computer chair. Usually people that don't understand what it's like to make a living punching other people and getting punched say things like this.

      Much respect to Seth Mitchel for making it this far.

          it's a testament to his talent that he even turned pro.



          you know what happens to a lot of guys who debut in their 20's, TS?
          they get knocked out and never fight again. we have one of those on the f#cking forum, and he's been boxing since he was a kid.

            You seen my HW we have in the gym. He's an ex Penn State DT and now he's got 7 amateur fights, 6-1 with 5 ko's.

            We know the risks of turning him pro. He will KO a lot of dudes early, but it's up to his skill level to where he will go against the better competition.

              Skills pay the bills and this dude was boxing since the age of 7 while Seth started at 20 something. Just because you're tall, strong and have good speed and stamina it doesn't mean you can just dominate a sport, you need the fundamentals.

                  that mitchell even got where he is today is argument for the phenomenon, not against it.

                  mitchell started boxing after a bombed collegiate football career because of injuries. he was a grown man. most guys who start that late in boxing never even turn pro.

                  nobody is saying that muhammad ali is in the NBA right now. the argument held by virtually every boxing expert in america is that the talented big men in america no longer box. they play football and basketball. they used to box. that cannot be disputed.

                  deontay wilder went to the f#cking olympics with 14 amateur fights. he has a ton of talent. deontay wilder is a dime a dozen in college basketball.
                  Here's a little tidbit you might not have known: Back in the '60s Vince Lombardi watched Ali and thought he'd have made the perfect NFL tight end. Red Auerbach commented watching Ali shoot hoops at the Boston Garden that he'd have loved to have tried Ali at shooting guard in the NBA. He was that great an all-around athlete. If you fast-forwarded a juvenile Cassius Clay to today he doesn't even get a sniff at a boxing ring: He's going to get snatched up by other sports so fast the air would crackle.

                  Someone posted that pic of Lennox playing football. If Lennox Lewis had grown up in the states instead of Canada he most likely would never have gone into boxing.....and he likely would have excelled at any sport where his large size wouldn't be a liability. Lennox was a fine all-around athlete.

                      exactly people wanna call him a bum cus he gets hurt easily but he actually has came far for what he has. he lost to banks and everyone counted him out in the rematch and he won that. now he loses to a more seasoned fighter with a tough gut and really the fight shouldnt have got stopped right away but either way seths coming back and i guarantee it!!!!
