Chris Mannix on Seth Mitchell

The SI columnist agrees that 2011 is the year “Mayhem” Mitchell announces his arrival as a heavyweight contender:

At 28, Seth Mitchell is too old to be called a prospect. But the former Michigan State linebacker has quietly put together an impressive start to his career. Mitchell ran his record to 20-0 with a knockout of veteran Taurus Sykes in December and should be ready to face better competition late next year. At 6-foot-2, 245 pounds, Mitchell can’t bang with the Klitschkos. But really, who can?

Mannix is also high on Amir Khan and Kelly Pavlik and one of the few that think Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather will actually get it on this year. Read the rest of his predictions for 2011 here.
