I think Mitchell's being dissed just a little too easily here. Obviously the weight difference would favour Khan but Mitchell showed us against Johansson he's prepared to go to war in order to land his blows and he took some meaty shots from Carl and remained on his feet and im not sure Khan hits as hard as Carl. If Khans chin is as dodgy as it seems then I could see Kev taking an early KO but if both men can handle each others shots I dont know who would take a pts win as Khan has good speed and reach but Kev can box a bit too.
According to an article on boxing scene.com Khan is calling out Nate Campbell - warning he is coming to get his titles!
I think Khan would win by TKO, Mitchell has a wide open defence and with Amir's fast hands, I think he will win. Mitchell may have stopped a fair few, but how many of those have actually been any good - not a right lot! In terms of Khan, I won't be convinced until he fights a guy with a decent defence and can bang...... A certain Mr Thaxton springs to mind. OK people may say 'so you should beat the likes of Thaxton etc', but for me that would answer a lot of questions as to his ability. In terms of boxing skills, Khan wins hands down, but I think he needs to be put in with a puncher before challenging for world honours, otherwise he will be brutally exposed.
Perhaps Warren has agreed Khan can compete with another Campbell (Naomi)? Reported they have both signed up to a reality tv show called Rap Idol!
Amir has said that he needs a couple of more fights till he is ready for campbell an co and would be ready by the end of the year. its good to hear that Amir realises that he needs to gain abit of extra experience.
Do you mean Khan is on a higher level than Mitchell? If you do, then that makes two of us! Mitchell may have indeed beaten Johanneson, but he took far too many shots & Johanneson does not hit anywhere near as fast as Khan. Not to mention that Khan is bigger & stronger than Mitchell. Khan would TKO Mitchell. I have no doubt about that at all. Mitchell's defense against Khan would leave a great deal to be desired. Mitchell was in trouble agaisnt Johanneson. If Khan got him in bother, he would not be let off the hook. All the talk about Khan-Mitchell should stop. I think Mitchell would be in trouble if the fight happens.
Considering Khan has only faced low tier opposition or past it guys its hard to tell as Kevin would certainly be the best opponent he has faced by a long way imo.
Mitchell could land a good shot on Khan and score the KO but I think Khan is a step above Mitchell in class. I am one of Khan's biggest doubters but I would have him winning this quite easily. The only thing Mitchell brings is abit of aggression that is not often heard of in Khan's usual opponents.
I would agree with everything especially the part about Khan smothering his work and not having an inside game. He's tall for his weight so with his reach and speed he doesnt necessarily have to have a great inside game cuz he can keep it on the outside. He is a sucker for straight right though and that hasnt changed since he turned pro.
