    Mitchell boxed well against Prescott, no question, but Prescott was totally one dimensional, made the guy look better than he was. Limond and Burns would beat him, no question. He moved up to avoid Burns

    styles make fights and limond and burns would give not just kevin but any top fighter a real nightmare,someone who stands in front of kevin would get smashed coz hes very good against those kind of opponents.ps.kevin boxed excellently in newcastle well done

    Maybe if you have been in training, not if you aint been doin much, I'm sure Limond would take the fight if the terms were good, no question. Billy Nelson get your arse back in here

    It was an issue about money but kevin is prepared to take the fight for the same money limond was offered, he took the fight with prescott and the purse wasnt great, he done it to further his career, yes prescott is a one dimensional fighter but a dangerous one, how about limond vs prescott would he take that one ??? yes limond is a good boxer but kev will beat him

    well if your not prepared to take a chance you aint going to reap the rewards. burns is lucky imo because kevin mitchell would stop him. thats not saying that I dont rate ricky burns because I do, and I think he has a good chance against roman martinez. like wraps said mitchell was prepared to take the same money as limond so I truely believe limond doesnt fancy it. Alex Arthur is another that doesnt fancy it, I read his comments about how he was annoyed with frank warren for putting him on a 6pm, and that he is a former world champion, this is utter garbage, mitchell fought in manchester in july and was one of the first on the bill. point is you dont see mitchell moaning.

    he avoided burns, now that is funny, why would kevin mitchell move from 130lbs to 135lbs, to avoid a fighter ricky burns with the record of won 27 (7ko) lost 2 to fight bredis prescott won 21 (18ko) lost 1.
