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

[bojangles1987]

I knew people were going to pretend this proves something. "Herp derp the failed football player got knocked out, that means the hundreds of better athletes out there could never be better."

Typo on part. Seth started at 25, Sergio 20. Sergio fought bums for years though and was KOd by Margarito early. Took him 10 years to get here.

Sergio Martinez

He's been knocked down in just about every fight

have you ever seen clips of mitchell playing football? one time the quarterback threw the football to him and it knocked him out cold.

So was Felix Trinidad. But both, were elite fighters. One started early, one started late. But both had a toughness that separated them from other athletes in other sports.

Sergio Martinez

Funny you brought that up, his chin does suck lol, the difference is that he's developed great footwork which in turn has lead to great defense. Roy Jones Jr. is another example of a great athlete with poor defense but great reflexes, his athleticism was so great back in his prime that people could hardly touch him.

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:

Larry Holmes?

Proves a lot more than the fantasies of the people that still have NFL/NBA posters hanging on their walls.

America stayin shook.

But again, everyone is missing the point. There is a different type of toughness and attitude required for boxing. Its one thing to be a great athlete, but can you withstand getting pounded in head over and over and over?

The high majority of athletes can't.

Boxers do, because they are a different breed of athlete.

When people talking about fighters From American Football being part of boxing...they are talking about those Athletes taking of boxing at a young age over the current sport they are in...not taking them from Football Now And Putting Them In Boxing

It is far too late to just jump in boxing when your almost 30
