**Alex Arthur vs Kevin Mitchell - You really think the London boy could win?**

I'm not a fan of Arthur and am fully aware of his limitations, like being slow as **** and too vein, but i'd pick him to beat Mitchell any day of the week. I have never seen what the fuss is about with Mitchell.

 

I think Arthur is better than his last few fights have shown.

A fired up Arthur who actually starts in the 1st round rather than the 4th has way too much for Mitchell at this stage.

Arthur is genuine euro class/fringe world class.

 

Arthur by decision or possibly late KO (though Mitchell does seem to have a decent chin).

 

Mitchell does have a good chin, but Arthur can hit and is accurate.

I'd imagine he'd wear him down and stop him from the 9th onwards.

 

I believe Kevin Mitchell would stop Arthur late on around 9 or 10.

I also believe Alex Athur is one of the most overrated british fighters in years.

 

overrated by who? What level do you place him at then? Considering nobody things he's one of the top dogs in the division.
and what has Mitchell done??? besides being made to look bad in his last couple and didn't handle Henry James too well.

 

I think arthur would beat mitchell in what would be abit of a war but he would beat him by maybe 3-4 rounds on the score cards.

 

This is actually a very good matchup, I'd love to see it

Arthur is the more rounded fighter, pretty good offensively and even better than Mitchell defensively, which is saying something about Mitchell's defence. However, the intangibles in this fight are weight (and maybe as a result) chin

Arthur looks like he struggles to me, and his chin ain't the best. Mitchell can definitely hurt him like Foster, and although Arthur would be the biggest puncher he faced he PERHAPS has the chin and heart to last long enough to land some effective work

Favour Arthur overall, but I wouldn't mind laying some down on Mitchell if the odds were favourable

 

Well before Mitchell came on the scene he was the only British psopect in that division who was being touted as potential world champion.

After watching him over the years he's European level at best I don't think he will ever reach world class now.

While Mitchell does have his flaws (mainly defensively) he is the bigger talent and the better overall boxer in my opinion and still has his best to come. Two big things he has going for him are power and his chin that's for certain.

 

Maybe Ricky Hatton has been overrated by a lot of people I agree :good

 

Arthur would stop Mitchell by mid to late fight. I think Mitchell would have the best of the first couple of rounds but then the better work of Alex would come through with Arthur forcing a stoppage by round 9.


Arthur has proven himself to be better than European class and deserves a top ten place at the weight. I think that Arthur will struggle to keep his belt if any of the real class guys come calling but it will take someone special to take his belt from him and the opponent will know they have been in an hard fight.

Mitchell is no way near even being Euro level yet. At the moment the two Brits are very far apart and I can not see Mitchell ever getting good enough to gain true top 10 recognition. Mitchell needs a few more fights at the level he is at now and maby then a Euro title fight or two, if he comes through that then I will give him his dues but by then I expect Arthur to be long gone.

The only reason this fight could happen is because of Warren and the Wank BO.
