    Having had such a cherry picked career do you think if they met now Mitchell might just have a bit to much for Khan?I know Mitchell is a natural super featherweight but thats all Khan has fought in the main and not very good ones.I think somebody who can punch straight and relativley hard would expose Khans chin for what it is and Mitchell can bang a bit for his size.Add to that i dont think Mitchell would just melt away under pressure like most of Khans opponents and my conclusions are drawn.Just a theory but one id like to see tested even if it wont be(thank you Mr Warren):roll:

    Good fight but I'm not sold on Mitchell either TBH.

    Mitchell has faced far worse opposition than even Khan as. The guy's record is a joke.

    Yep. Khan is in a totally different class to Mitchell. This fight would be a joke.

    Khan's opposition > Mitchell's opposition.

    And that's not even allowing for the fact that Mitchell is a couple of years older and had 50% more fights than Khan.

    In his 16th and 17th fights Mitchell was still at the Daniel Thorpe/Mohammed Medjadi stage.

    Im not asking you to compare records im not saying who will go further,im asking if they met tomorrow could Mitchell beat Khan.I think he could.I think Mitchell will also prove one or two of you wrong.

    You probably should have avoided spending most of your OP commenting on Khan's record then. Just a hint for the future.

    You cant say **** all on here.Yes i used Khans record on my opening post but that wasnt the question i put to you.And if we are on records although Mitchell fought opponents of Khan later on in his development at least he fought them at their correct weight.They all moved up a weight to fight Khan,thus taking away the little power they had.

    I largley expected it having read opinions of Mitchell on here.It should have been a poll vote Yes or no as i dont seem to be getting many of them!

    Question was:

    The answer is that Mitchell's career has been as 'cherry picked' as Khan's, if that's the expression you want to use, but with lower quality overall and that therefore I don't consider it a reason to think Mitchell would win. Khan's too big and too fast, Mitchell wouldn't hit him enough and his own defence is a recipe for disaster.
