    If mitchell wins a title and Campbell beats coyle. Would you like to see this fight? And who would win. IMO kev knocks him out but I do think Campbell is a very decent fighter.

    Both can box, but Campbell wins this if he keeps it at distance.

    Depends which Mitchell shows up. The best Ive seen of Mitchell beats Campbell (possibly even easily).
    Obviusly time is on Campbells side.

    Campbell has a 1inch height advantage and 3inch reach advantage. im pretty sure Mitchell will get to Campbell at one stage.

    Its about more than heigh and reach its footwork and defence timing distance. But anyway Campbell has never done anything to suggest he cant take a good shot and very rarely takes a clean shot.

    I think the fighters who Campbell has been fighting aren't in the class of an inform kevin mitchell.

    Be a great fight, both unproven at elite level though Mitchell has obviously fought and beat better standard of opponents, but so had Chris Eubank when he got beat of a younger quicker slicker Joe Calzaghe. Even though it would be a big leap up in class i would fancy Campbell, very quick southpaw, lovely balance, and accuracy in his work and i think he would beat any current lightweight in the country.

    If an on form Mitchell turns up it'd be a great fight. At his best, Mitchell beats Campbell I think. Campbell hasn't had to deal with someone of Mitchell's talents. If he isn't at his best though, I'd fancy Campbell.

    I'd certainly like to see it though. Definite PPV...!

    Has any noticed a "inform' mitchell only ever happens against guys that are made for him. Estrada and john murray and prescott plod foward eating shots. Show me a fight against a good technical boxer when mitchell has looked good. They guy at wembley boxed his head off until the 12lb mitchell had on him took its toll

    Yes maduma gave mitchell a hard fight but look what happened. Mitchell has the equaliser and also he could make it into his own fight, he could actually have luke going after him and countering him off the back foot with stronger punishing shots. Kev doesn't need to chase him all over the ring. So let's see how luke deals with coyle first.

    You was the one who asked the people of this forum your opinion. And now iv givin mine and your saying lets see how luke does with coyle first? And so far as a pro Luke hasnt been on the back foot once hes took centre ring and worked on the front foot. Im confident in saying Campbell can deal with any tatic front fooot going foward. Backfoot countering ect all he needs is a couple of 12 rounders at a good pace and ud put my money on Campbell

    The ref was a disgrace, the guy was about 8 rounds up from what I could see live when stopped unfairly. Yes he was badly hurt but Mitchell was in neutral corner and their was 10 seconds or so left of round so guy should have been gave his minute in corner considering he was well in front. 'Home stoppage'
