    Man I respect Mitchell n all but he needs to calm down. If he wants his respect to continue he should be careful. After the Prescott fight he just start putting his mouth out a bit, but none the less, at the moment I respect the guy.

    How does it make sense?

    So Americans can go up weight and smash people and british people can't? That's what he seems to be saying and is implying that Americans are dirty and British fighters are not.

    So I put that because I didn't really understand why you put it makes sense.

    Let him have his exposure. If he's asked the questions he has every right to give the answer in which he believes in.

    It's not like he just started talking about this for no reason is it ?

    For what it's worth I dont think he is right in anyway. It's a British culture to go and booze and live like **** thats why most of our athletes don't excel, nothing to do with drugs. It's ingrained into young lads who have a bit of money to go out and party and have a good time and from an early age people are led to believe that it's brilliant to go out and get smashed. Look at how different people across Mediteranian countries live compared to here.

    Plus I think he'll get beat on Saturday, let the lad have his time in the limelight :good

    Jeez, our fighters ain't the brightest are they?
    Mitchell deserves criticism for these comments. If it had been Khan making lazy assumptions about a bunch of fighters linked only by nationality, he would've been mullered. I know he's got a fight to sell, but that doesn't mean diplomacy has to go out of the window completely.

    When I watched Mosely vs Margaretto I thought to myself Shane must be on something. He was literally not missing a punch, I dont know what drug can make you turn into such a beast but that was a super human performance.

    To be honest i think he's spot on in what he's saying . I think the guys who have been caught taking PEDS are the tip of the iceberg . I honestly think american sports are riddled with doping the majority of NFL players will be on steroids and their athletics team regularly have scandals with it . I think our fighters are by and large clean although i have serious doubts about premier league footballers

    They do test people for steroids in American Football I assume?
