I could be forgetting some names but I dont think Ive seen a Euro fighter this skilled since Joe Calzaghe... Super Kev got that style... He's made from a similiar cloth as fighters such as Marquez, Linares, and Nonito.. Skillwise, Kev has it... Burns better give him a shot..

I presume you are trying to wind us all up ? Mitchell is a good fighter with plenty of heart but he is also really easy to hit. You can use the Prescott fight as an example of exactly how Burns would not fight him. Mitchell is used to people standing in front of him and trading, and this allows him to use his Boxing ability to look good in catching and counter punching his opponent. Burns won't stand in front of him and get drawn into Mitchell's game. He will be much more elusive and if needs be, mix up styles mid-fight. I have not seen Kevin adapt as well as Burns yet and if it happens it will be a close fight but Mitchell is less like Calzaghe then Burns. Burns engine is awesome and like Joe he will not tire towards the end of fights. You can catch him early and he will learn from it. Mitchell got caught by Murray and did not change his style. There are plenty of skilled European fighters who can match or beat Mitchell for skills since Calzaghe you just ain't been paying attention.
