I'd like to see him on 'Prizefighter' Maybe they (Frank) should part ways. It seems to me Warren has given up on Mitcell. Leaving Jimmy Tibbs and going back to his am trainer Paul Cook, is defly a big step back.
He should stick around the domestic level. He's a very popular fella, and would still sell a bucket of tickets.
Kevin is a excellent fighter,however if i were a top fighter in London theres no way id leave Jimmy Tibbs his experience in valuable, i do beleive Kevin has the tools to fight for another world title.
Good luck to him.

Kevin v Crolla would be fantastic, I think Rees and Derry are above him; I'd like to see Rees v Burns.

I would tip him to beat Matthews and lose to Crolla.

You've a good view there Billy and there are some very good trainers in the capital that are not very well known. Kevin has been round the block and maybe knows what works for him at this stage, hope he gets back to boxing and picking his shots again; he did look superb when he weren't in a mad rush.

i think people on here are being abit hasty with mitchell being finished i think if he dedicates himself and really focuses hes got some decent performances left in him, i picked mitchell over burns thinking burns didnt have the power to stop mitchell. (how wrong was i?) but hes european level all day long and mitchell vs rees(who is a world class fighter in my eyes not elite but lower tier of the world class league) would be a cracker and i also think mitchell would beat matthews and crolla.

Kevin and Gavin are both well above Anthony and Derry, with Ricky sitting comfortably at the top of the pile.

A fully fit and focused Kevin Mitchell could make waves in the game today
