Not that impressed. Chazz has a china chin and he got him out of there, but imagine him against the more precise punching of Chris Arreola or even someone like Adamek. He's a far cry from the best American HW at this point, he's got a whole slew of technical flaws, and to be honest, if it was anyone but Witherspoon, who has never impressed me, he'd have been out of there in the first round. Btw, did Randy Neuman screw up? I don't have a copy of the fight to look back on, but I don't believe the Standing Eight was in effect. Can someone check that for me?

It was the ropes that kept him up...that's why Neuman started the count and if you watch the replay, in slow-mo...you will see Chazz's eyes rolling around in his head.
I agree with you on Mitchell and I also agree that most of the other HW's in the top ten, like Arreola, Boystov, Adamek, Thompson, Chagaev, Helenius and even Jennings & Chisora give him all kinds of trouble.
HOWEVER...I think he beats the frauds of the division like Povetkin, Johnson and Dimitrenko.
As for Fury....I think he he could keep his jab out there...and be in shape, he wins...if not, Mitchell KO's him.
Mitchell is too one-diemsonal...and he has tooth-pick legs, which means he will go to sleep.

One of those guys will take a huge step backwards, but I'm just happy to see a couple guys like that stepping in with each other, getting tired of seeing them all just float along down the river and moving up the ladder by doing NOTHING. I'm not big on Tyson Fury, but I'll give him one thing and that's that he's at least not happy with "going with the flow" and waiting around patiently, he's at least trying to make things happen.

I have seen Pulev live....he is raw. Yeah, even in stopping Dimitrenkov, Pulev still looked really raw, still a major work in progress.
