Very much enjoyed reading the article about Mitchell in this week's edition of Boxing News! Mitchell had a very successful career & beat every opponent he faced!
He talks about how he dealt with the tragedy that came with his victory over Jacob Morake (Morake passed away sohrtly after the bout). Mitchell comes across as a nice guy & you sense he's over the moon having been inducted in the HOF!
He looks well today & looks in shape!
He says fights with McGuigan, Azumah Nelson & Jeff Fenech eluded him for whatever reason! How do you think he would have done against those guys?
Brian Mitchell piece in BN!
Re: Brian Mitchell piece in BN!
Liked Mitchell, always thought he was a workmanlike pro, but his title opposition, for the most part, was incredibly weak (Lopez, Mitchell and maybe McDonnell were the exceptions). I would pick Nelson to definitely beat him via UD, and probably Fenech would outwork him as well. McGuigan had already lost his title to Cruz by the time Mitchell won a title, so it would be McGuigan on the comeback trail. McGuigan lost to a guy (McDonnell) whom Mitchell handled pretty handily the UK.
