Khan and Mitchell have words....

Five KOs in 30 fights is pretty pitiful, let's be honest. I pointed it out to him yesterday and I think that is why he called me a faggot. Obviously hit a nerve.

unfortunately i think you're right. Khan is naturally bigger. if mitchell could turn it into a brawl though.....

I'd be screaming mitchell on that boy has grafted where as khan has been given it on a plate.

To be fair to Khan though he must have done some graft in the ams to make the Olympic team. That made him a big name overnight before he even turned pro and then he has taken on relatively easy opposition and become a world champ against someone who has to be regarded as a weak champion and his first defence was against a weak challenger. Paulie is the best he has fought, he just doesn't have the power to worry Khan so again it's an easy route fight IMO.

Of course khan grafted in the ams, my old coach used to train him and there was a pic of him aged 15 or 16 with the british team hanging in the gym. But I think we're all in agreement that despit prescott, khan has been wrapped in cotton wool and been handed everything on a plate as a pro.

Yeah but that's because Mitchell didn't win a silver medal at the Olympics, as the countries sole representative when he was just 17 years old.

Mitchell has also been matched with opponents who he should comfortably beat right up until the Katsidis fight.

I disagree johannsen was always going to be a hard fight for him.
