    While Boystov has impressed me with his potential a lot more than many of the other Eastern Bloc fighters (Ustinov, Pulev, Chagaev, Ibragimov, Povetkin); He's been fighting tomato cans far too long.

    He needs to step it up before taking on Mitchell. If the fight is announced with no warm up in between smart money would have to be on Mitchell.

    I don't remember Mike outboxing many guys. And most the guys that went the distance with him hugged and hit him to take a round here or there. Even in his comeback he was beaten by the better boxers Holyfield and Lewis and beaten by wrestlers McBride and Williams.

    Point is that Im not comparing Mitchell to Tyson, but we also can't compare Boystov to Holyfield or to Lewis either.

    Mitchell can be outboxed, no doubt about it......but can those boxers willing to give it a go, take the punishment necessary to test his chin thorough or clown him through the distance. I don't think Boystov has the mettle TBF.:deal

    Nah, this needs to wait till after the Klit years, in 2014 or so when they are likely both top contenders or champs, makes a good fight a superfight, Boytsov wins UD.

    Boytsov is much more skilled than Mitchell, is extremely heavy handed. Boytsov by knockout!!!
