Is Seth Mitchell being brought along to slowly?

Well his team has been saying he wont fight for a title until 2013. They have been saying this for 6 months now yet everyone seems to think he;s fighting Wlad in the fall. Wlad is gonna fight Arreola after Thompson and that's that.
Seth will fight again in September against maybe Michael Grant.

 

i thought it was odd that he KO'd Timur a real contender who was very experienced and has good wins and then they stepped him back in comp and faced an easier witherspoon

it always alarms me when prospects take a step back

ill have a better answer when we know who he wants next

I think he should face another guy about the same level as Witherspoon and if he can beat a guy like that without the struggle he had with chazz he can move up

a Wlad fight means hes being rushed to cash in

a step back in comp means they arent confident

 

Definitely not. Maybe too slowly though.

 

thats a good move, id suggest all prospects and contenders to fight tall guys to prep for Klitschko

if i were his team id have him fight Dimitrenko as well

 

Like I said in another thread, imagine Wlad fought Lewis when he had 20-odd fights. He'd get so badly beaten that he would never be the fighter that he is today. Lewis would possibly have ended Wlad's career. Mitchell is in that position right now. Put him in with Wlad and he'll get schooled and stopped. He's just not ready for that type of challenge at this stage of his career.

 

I like how they're matching him, actually. I think the last two have been in good, solid territory. Not likely to beat him, but not likely (despite the actual easy Ibragimov result) to let him go without giving him valuable experience and an increasing profile. I think he's doing very well and will continue to, if they move him along as they are. So he got rattled by a big, more experienced guy he was strongly favoured against? How many don't, at some point?

 

:deal

 

completely agree, how many guys get written off here only to go on to do something great

 

They're doing a great job matching him up.
Evans Quinn.... Timur.... and Chazz.
Nothing wrong with that level of comp considering that Mitchell does not have the extensive amateur career of some guys.

 

They took a risk with Witherspoon, could easily have ended up like McDermott vs Olubamiwo in UK.

 

Damn, my page was taking long too load, then jolted as i went to vote, meant to vote 'no'.

I think he's coming along nicely
First round against Chazz was a good test.

 

I like Mitchell. He needs more seasoning and probably a world class trainer to take him to the next level. I got the feeling from Steward that he would love to take over Mitchell, if he wasn't in so deep with Wladimir.

 

Too slowly? See Deontay Wilder if you wanna see coming along slow

 

Exactly.
