Who is next for seth Mitchell

I think Price out-boxes and stops Mitchell.

 

Not hating but cant see any non-american calling him the best hw prospect...

 

Mitchell is just too slow to ever make it to the top. Speed is the one thing you can't learn.

Still. he's definitely exciting to watch, and seems to have guts & that elusive killer-instinct. He's def good for the sport.

 

Watching Mitchell in trouble against Witherspoon I don't see how he beats a guy two classes higher in Povetkin.

 

I do think he is a better prospect. They both had a step up in competition in their last fights but I think Witherspoon is a few levels above Sexton - quite clearly, and Mitchell smoked him out in 3. Yea he was hurt, but he didn't go down and he overcame a lot of adversity and took over the fight. ****, he was much less hurt than Canelo Alvarez against Cotto's brother earlier in his career and look how he has done since; I'd say pretty well.

But also, they are about the same age, maybe a year difference, but Mitchell has definitely faced the stiffer competition and looked very impressive. Not only that, he was popped by Witherspoon and came through in a big way - Price at this point hasn't had to overcome any adversity yet and still hasn't had his chin (very shaky in the AM's) tested.

 

So because Mitchell has been hurt and hit in his career, and Price hasn't, that means Mitchell is a better prospect?

I agree, Witherspoon is better than Sexton, but he isn't 'a few levels' above.

They are similar in age, but Price has that Am background, which is crucial.

Price got stopped in the olympics, but McDermott landed one or two clean blows, and I didn't see Price budge.

Regarding the Alvarez point, that's not how boxing works.

But you have your opinion, so we'll agree to disagree.

 

Provided Mitchell doesn't slip up against the soft touches he is fed by his management I think it is inevitable we see him against a Klitschko in 2013 in America in either NY (Wlad) or Los Angeles (Vitali)
