I know it's only SN bullshit but I thought it still worth posting the link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/6090554.stm

Would be a very sellable fight in late 2007 early 2008 although FW's track record of putting together his unbeaten hot prospects is not exactly encouraging is it?

Mitchell might be made to order for Khan, what with his great defensive strategy of blocking all punches with his head.

Then again he's tough enough to make an argument of it, and hits with decent power, so he may be all wrong for Khan, who looked very knackered when Lazlo Komjati hung around and threw a few punches back.

How about an 10 rd draw?

Whoops! I forgot that this is boxing we are talking about

Khan & Mitchell are not in the same division. Kevin is a super-feather, while Amir is a light-welter. Khan is clerly the bigger man, and if the fight does happen anytime soon, if would have to be at a catch-weight.

Can't see Kevin moving up to fight at Khan's weight. Can you?

I have no interest in seeing a super-featherweight prospect fight a Light-Welterweigh prospect.

What about a light welterweight prospect fighting superfeatherweight journeyman?

At least Khan is fighting someone who can actually punch...granted he's about 3 times smaller than Khan, but he's getting closer....

This is what Khan v Mitchell will be in a couple of years

Kev might move up to 135 or 140 sooner than later, he's pretty young after all. And he might even upset the protected superstar. Mitchell's chin looks ok so far.
Unless one of them loses badly, Warren is more likely to sit stark b***ock naked, ringside at his next show than make this fight.

They are not fighting, Warren is saying he will look to put it on in 2 years!!
