Grant: MITCHELL’S NO PUSHOVER, BUT NOT FLOYD’S EQUAL
By TSS Predictions November 15th, 2005
Floyd Mayweather is an elite fighter at the peak of his abilities. His hand speed is as good or better than anyone’s in the game. He also punches with authority (despite critics’ claims about his so-called lack of power), can throw every punch in the book with precision, and has a rock solid chin. However, what sets him apart is his thorough knowledge of the game combined with the physical equipment and conditioning to execute the toughest of fight plans. Sharmba Mitchell is an outstanding fighter in his own right. Blessed with tremendous hand speed and an ability to pull punchers out of position, he has found a way to win 56 out of 60 fights and capture a belt along the way. He’s no pushover. What he does not have, however, is solid power. He has never stopped a top fighter. Indeed in winning and defending his WBA junior welterweight belt four times he went the distance each time. A fighter who can not hurt “Pretty Boy” Floyd cannot beat him. It’s just that simple. Don’t look for Mitchell to lay down; that’s not his character. He will give it his all but it won’t be enough. Mayweather by KO in 10.

Floyd is the best in the game today. There’s no one out there better.
Floyd is a true champion,unlike these lame ass fighters like Tarver. Fighters should fight for the love of boxing, That’s why Floyd is the best pound for pound period….

Mayweather will come out and put on a clinic! Mitchell is too old I believe.This fight will go on as long, or as short as Mayweather decides. Either way, Mitchell has no chance in hell of wining this bout!!

I dont feel like Sharmba can handle the pressure of 10 rounds from Floyd…KO in 7 by Floyd

I agree with your accessment except for the round.
Floyd will destroy Mitchell but it won’t go beyond 8 rounds.

What are you guys talking about!! Sharmba Mitchell is going to win the fight by knockout in the fifth!!!….. !!SYKE!! had you going huh!? Mayweather is going to open a nice warm can of whoop ass for Sharmba Mitchell like his father used to when he would misbehave when he was a young lad come saturday! I think Floyd is the best out there right now I dont see any fighter beating him not Zab,hatton, especially not cotto, nobody, but Floyd really needs to stop bullsh**ing and start fighting these guys, not these nobody’s and has beens(Arturo Gatti)he’s been fighting lately I want to see him fight Zab next but I have a feeling he will go for an easyer opponent like hatton or another nobody. Oh but Floyd will win saturday by T.K.O. let’s say 8th round.
