I think he may go a bit further than those two, but not by a whole lot. Picked up the sport really late and proved to be a bit chinny against Chazz Witherspoon.
Also on that "2 days in the life of a fighter" business on HBO, Mitchell's manager admitted that Seth isn't passionate about boxing, but sees it as a means to an end for supporting his family.
Seth seems a nice guy, aggressive, athletic and getting better so best of luck to him, but I honestly do not see him ever troubling a Klitschko.
I like to watch Seth fight and root for him. But that is a damning statement, considering this is a sport that requires passion in order to be able to overcome the adversities that will always surface at one time or another.
Yes, it is an incriminating statement for sure. There are cases of guys who didn't love boxing really thriving though, like Ken Norton. It was often said that he never loved boxing, but he had a hall of fame career.
There are exceptions to the rule, but generally if you don't love boxing, then you are going to get hurt sooner or later and call it quits.
I always disliked Norton's style of fighting. He was so-o-o awkward. But he did have his day in the sun, particularly in his first fight with Ali in 1973. I like watching Seth fight, though. And I root for him to succeed. But yeah... if he's not passionate about boxing, it might catch up to him sooner or later.
I say lets put all our eggs in one basket and support Seth to be the saviour of the US heavyweight division.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
