Dan Rafael is saying that Chagaev is being mentioned as an opponent for Mitchell on the Amir Khan undercard July 7. Not sure this fight actually happens but a good match up, for both guys, if it does.
I wouldn't mind seeing Mitchell take on Chagaev, Welliver & Grant this year. If all 3 of those opponents were faced just a few months apart, it would be a good development experience.
He'd have the second best resume of any active fighters not named Klitschko.:think Far better than Haye if he were to come out unscathed.:deal
Oscar probably trying to get best value. If Chagaev is willing to take substantially less money.....:think One of my favorite fighters just priced himself of of a very winnable big fight......Wouldn't surprise if another one were too.:-(
