yes and no, he is was a prospect for a while, and a good puncher and a finisher. but mitchell basicly had the wlad title shot in his hands had he beat banks.

he seemed to be in working retirement from the sport for a few years.

he does have some caliber to him, REAL world class level maybe not. no way does he beat wlad or vitali, but he has a niche market. he could beat povetkin methinks. he is a good boxer and a puncher and not toooo undersized for the division.

i am rooting for him mainly because of the seth mitchell hype. a hypetrain there to get a big, heavy, aggressive american fighter into championship levels. all the while banks has been sidelined because he wasnt the aggressive stirring type of fighter 'boxing' supposedly 'needs'.

he is the best u.s. fighter in the division...even with wilder koing audley. thompson stopping price was big, but banks mitchell was an example of really showing how far ahead banks was in ability.

i dunno. it just feels unfair, that guys like him are pushed to nothing status when if they had been given a push or a new interest with hbo or espn looking to get a champ. they choose the nfl player.

the thing is the Klitchkos are so big and are skilled technically, that no one can come close to beating them. So they wipe out pretty good fighters so all they have left are the lesser quality now.
