I agree, if Seth Mitchell connects, it's over for Wlad.

Seth Mitchell's chin is not the goods, and he doesn't defend it very well.

They really wanted Mitchell to be the guy. He fits their ideal profile of a heavyweight that would rid boxing of the Klitschko's and bring their version of legitimacy back to the most coveted prize in sports.

Yes, I am speaking in code, so "F" off if you do not like it...

I've watched a lot of his fights and this guy can beat Wlad Klitschko. Seth Michell has a lot of promise it appears. No way Wlad's chin can handle his power.

Seth Mitchell is almost like a HW Tavoris Cloud, except with a bit more boxing skill and a bit less p4p power.

Wrong style to beat Wladimir (not that there really is a right one at this stage) but anything can happen in boxing. He'd have more of a chance of landing a big game changer than did Mormeck, or Haye, or most other recent contestants.

Whew...saw this was a bump from 2012, saw the little graphic of my avatar in miniature over the OP's (indicating that I had posts in here) and was cringing wondering just wtf nonsense hype wagon drivel I might've been guilty of, having remembered that I had some hopes for Mitchell after hearing Phil Anselmo of all people (yes, the lead singer of Pantera, he used to actually for a time be a professional writer of boxing articles for major publications, having been a lifelong fan of the sport and parlaying his music celebrity into shoehorning himself somehow into the boxing media) - thankfully not that bad.

You misunderstood me.

Or maybe you just presume too high an opinion of Haye on my part.

I'm not saying that Mitchell has much of a chance at all to land anything significant on Wladimir (significant enough to harken back to the panic attack days, that is). He really doesn't. What separates him from Mormeck, Haye, etc. is that he DOES possess that game-changer, in his back pocket. There is possessing it, and then there is having a good chance of landing it - worlds apart. In all likelihood - and we're talking like 99.999999% here - it stays there in his back pocket unused like a smushed up melted chocolate bar if he ever gets in the ring with Wlad. He'd be jab-crossed into oblivion and KTFO before he ever had an opportunity to load up on a big shot, if I were to bet on an outcome.

HOWEVER - Mitchell is a real heavyweight with real heavyweight power. Haye wasn't. EVER. Mormeck isn't, and never was. Chambers, more skilled than all of them put together - sadly can't claim to be one either.

Wlad hasn't faced many guys with a big punch in a long time (unless you count the One-Eyed bandit...or the shot Rock, who I only give a marginal puncher's chance in his upcoming WBA title bid on the basis of how utterly **** Povetkin looked against Huck and how utterly vulnerable to right hands...and how completely below Wlad's stratosphere...)

Mitchell would be the first legit young big TRUE heavyweight puncher he'd been in with in a long ass time. Some people like to pretend that Haye was his "risky fight with a dangerous guy who could test his chin". It wasn't. He isn't. He didn't even try to test Wlad's chin, ***** that he acted that night - but even had he tried his best I simply don't think he has the punch to do anything to Wlad. He honestly didn't have a very impressive heavyweight run, never really stopping anyone who wasn't ripe for the picking - and buzzing Nikolai Valuev a little bit in the last round isn't enough of a support beam to hold up this myth that Haye ever had a serious punch at heavy.

The biggest puncher Wlad has faced since Sam Peter I...was Sam Peter II (and that was a ruined Peter).

Mitchell would pack the biggest punch he'd have to worry about since he was getting shook up by Sam Peter in 2005. That was my only point. Of course, given the size and length disadvantages and the fact that Mitchell isn't especially quick (nor very experienced at strategically outboxing gigantic super heavies - nor very experienced in general...) - it's doubtful he'd ever come even remotely close to landing that big punch. That doesn't change the fact that he has it. He's a young solid true heavyweight with a young solid true heavyweight's dangerous punch. That can't be said of anybody who's challenged Wlad since 2005. :good

Oh ****, I peaked in 2012. I was so good at posting on boxing forums.
