Will 2009 bring Kevin Mitchell a World Title shot?

i think he should wait another year before a tile shot as i think he would benefit from another year at british/european level

hes a good fighter

 

Nah he say's he will not fight Cook and none of the other governing bodies are daft enough to let him fight for a title. Kevin Mitchell will sit it out till Cook loses then sit it out till that champ gets replaced by someone poor. So maybe late 2010. I think Mitchell is being daft not fighting Cook. The scrap would be a good domestic standard fight for a Euro level belt but he would be able to call himself a world champ if he pulled it off. Maybe he will jump ship and try going for a better belt and better champs but while he stays at SN he will keep fighting cans.

 

I doubt he will go for another belt and definetly not for another top boxer. Mitchell needs more experience before he fights any where elite level. 2009 should be a year of progression fights to get him ready for a good top level career.

 

If he's not going to go for a world title, I think he should go for the EBU title and fight some decent Euro level comp before moving on up.

 

He's not good enough to win a 'proper' world title and I don't see another year helping matters. He's a good, solid, European level fighter/ fringe world class.

 

In another year Cook will have probably lost the title although I hope he fights often and keeps it. I like Mitchell and although I think you are right about how good he is I really hope he becomes the next genuine world title champ and not a career WBO guy.

 

He's ranked third with the IBF(no one rated 2 either) so he might go that route if he isn't going fight Cook.

 

I would love him to go that way. Who is the IBF belt holder and who would he possibly have to face in an eliminator?

 

If only that information was freely availiable on the Internet, eh?
