    $uper Seth is currently 25-0-1(19 Ko's), I can almost guarentee he will be fighting the New WBC Champion by the end of 2013. It is also said he will have another fight in July on the Khan undercard. I want to see this guy succeed, and I want to see his right hand, "The Mayhammer" connect to Wlad's Chin by 2015. :rastaMayhem is coming to Germany!

    He could probably get one after his next fight. . . IF he wants it. . I don't think Mitchell is the one who wants the shot right now. . .

    His handlers keep saying "we won't be rushed into" a Klitschko fight. . .

    I think they are going to take the rest of 2012, and maybe a good bit of 2013 before they start throwing their name in the hat.

    but as of now, he's not even close to earning a shot yet. but then again, thompson, nor mormeck deserve shots. . .

    But it's not the Klitchkos ducking these younger guys, they are the ones who don't want the fight right now.

    This is perfect for Wlad. A bunch of American fanboys and Network executives are becoming emotionally invested in Mitchell. HBO will showcase him in two or possibly three more fights against hand picked opponents before their latest American hope loses to Wlad.

    I think guys on here act like MMA fans. Thats mma **** putting guys in there before they are ready. Boxing takes years to build your craft. Look at Povetkin. Dude is way more accomplished & still never rushed into a title

    I want to see him go past 3 rounds against a decent HW. He needs work if he'll ever have a chance.

    Probably 2 more fights. Then gets brutally KTFO by Wlad. Game over.

    Wouldn't it make sense for him to fight a top ten figher first? I'd like to see him and Areola go at it.

    Mitchell isn't getting a title shot. He isn't getting past Welliver. Wonder if Chauncy will get a shot after he derails Michell? If so, I think we could see a Randall Cobb like beating for him.
     
  14. We all know how much team Klitschko likes to beat up green fighters (see Povetkin offer from a few years ago,planned Chisora fight against Wlad,Odlanier Solis,Kevin Johnson etc)
    This is the reason that Wlad wants to fight Seth now,before Seth gets too good. But Seth said he wants 1 or 2 more fights this year and then he will look for a title shot mid 2013. I say the minimum number of fights before a title shot would be 4.
     
  15. Arreola is fighting Wlad in the fall. Already pretty much set. Seth is fighting in July. There is no reason for Seth and Arreola to fight.
