Arthur turns down Mitchell fight

:-(

I'd fight him tommorow

 

He'd KO me in 1 but us Scots aint scared of no-one.

 

I thought Arthur said to Bunce he wants back around February-March?

I think it's wise he didn't and also for us as fans it wasn't going to be a great fight with a man coming off losses left right center recently. Arthur needs to get some wins then he can get back into that scene.

 

Evidently some of ya are.:yep

 

must have some English blood in them

 

:rofl

 

:rofl

atsch

 

Arthur & Limond would be better of retiring, their get up & go seems to have got up & gone some time ago.

 

I see what you are saying Dunky but as you well know, boxing is full of stories of men who hit a rough patch and could have given up but fought back and achieved better and bigger things. Look at Ryan Rhodes?
I'm sure it must be a very hard thing to look back and think "What could have been?"

 

aye! :good

 

& I see what you are saying MIk.

However, Rhodes fought his Jamie Moore, thats the difference. Arthur & Limonds 'Jamie Moore' was kevin Mitchell, but both knocked the fight back for differing reasons.
Both had a chance to do a 'Ryan Rhodes' but both said "thanks but no thanks"

You know me MIK, I live & breathe scottish pro boxing, live & die by scottish fighters success in the ring.

I am also honest as the day is long though, & I stand by my earlier post that if Arthur & Limond dont want a fight against a very beatable big name opponent like Mitchell when both of their careers have hit the buffers, they are as well hanging up the gloves.

 

I suppose you're right Dunky but then again Rhodes had many fights on the comeback trail to prepare him for a shot at Rhodes where as Arthur or Limond would simply be straight back in at the deep end. I agree it's a winnable fight for both of them but I can't really blame them for wanting an easier route for a come back trail (although they might not get given the chance).

Who knows? You have to sympathise with these fighters, after all they have to make decisions about their career while still trying to put food on the table, unlike footballers. Do they follow their boyhood dreams and take risks or do they do what's best for their families?

 

It's a good short notice fight for Mitchell but a poor fight in General. They should put him in with Wright considering he got the win.
