Kevin Mitchell back out in March!

[rampant]

You would think he is a champion with how often he is fighting, March will be about 6 months from last fight.

Should be training more often and being more active....He is I would say another rabbit hole fighter very much in the background and becoming forgotten.

Ricky Burns lost to Alex Arthur and KJ earlier in his career but he got back in the gym and became a world champion, he didn't cry and fall apart and go to the pub for 6 months. That is really the difference between a true champion and someone with talent who doesn't make the best of it. Even someone like Froch, NOBODY and I include myself in this thought he would do what he has done after watching the Magee fight. He isn't blessed with amazing reactions or super fast hands or feet but he is so dedicated to fitness and boxing that he has far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Mitchell is perhaps more talented than both of them but his attitude to the sport and the way he treats his body are probably what has kept him back. Having a good team around you is essential and I think Froch and Burns both have a lot to thank their trainers and families for in that respect.

That and his chin.

Mitchell on his best day is clear Euro level (far from "domestic" like some claim) who could give a few world level fighters some problems depending on the styles, I think it might be too late for him now though, unless he really, and I mean REALLY gets his act together
