Comments Thread For: Hennessy: Price is a Novice To Where Tyson Fury Is

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

TYSON FURY’S promoter Mick Hennessy has told David Price to forget about a clash between the two unbeaten British heavyweights for now.

Hennessy claims there is more chance of Fury challenging either Wladimir or Vitali Klitschko for one of their four world heavyweight titles than taking on domestic rival Price next year.

I have to agree that Price is getting a bit too much hype considering the calibre of opponents that he steamrolled. Sam Sexton was so much smaller. Audley Harrison was knocked out in 1 punch by Sprott - the only credible opponent Sprott ever stopped.

I like David Price and the way he fights but he's shown vulnerability - getting dropped with a head guard on in the amateurs - and has yet to show he has what it takes to overcome adversity in the pro ranks. It is a facet of his size, lack of competitive fights, but Tyson Fury has a bigger reach and would land that jab cleanly and a few solid shots on Price's chin and at the moment how he would react is unknown.

Let's see Price in with some live opponents before building him up as the next big thing in the heavyweight ranks.

And so the ducking continues

Hennessy must think very little of the boxing public. What he's saying doesn't really make a viable reason not to put these two together. A fight with Price generates huge money, and assuming Fury wins (he doesn't), it won't stand in the way of his World Title shot. But the argument he's putting forward is just pathetic.

As for the TV thing, why not just have a rematch clause on the other channel? First fight at Liverpool Echo on Boxnation, second fight at MEN on Channel 5 or vice versa.

I might get into boxing promotion, if a f**kwit like Hennessy can get away with it anybody can.

Hennessy knows exactly what will happen if he puts his only cash cow in the ring with Price. Its pathetic self preservation while Fury runs his mouth like a 12yr old girl on Twitter.

For the record books, this appears to be the second time Team Fury has ducked Price.

This is the truth.

The biggest battle Fury can look forward to is the one with the shrink when his mental demons come back again!

Hennessy like said, knows this only 2 well.

More so than most fighters a defeat for Fury will signal the start of a very quick downward spiral so Hennessy will milk that gypo donkey for all he is worth, build up the big fight with Price, he may even get a purse from the Klits given their is no one else for them and then cash in on the Price/Fury fight.

It's about time someone milked the gypos and not the other way round, tax dodging ***** c*nts.

Pretty much what was expected from Fury and his team. No matter how much Fury shouts on Twitter..its clear he or his team doesn't want the fight.

Who is Fury fighting on Dec 1?

Why is Hennessey taking so long finding an opponent?

They are doing their research, meticulously stewing over a shortlist of bums to find the perfect donkey for Fury to knock over while Channel 5 jump up and down with childish excitement claiming he is the real deal (while counting their cash and howling with evil mad scientist like laughter).

Fury thinks he is the next big thing so he acts that way, oblivious to the how he is being used. Hennessy knows he isn't so he acts the way he does. And Channel 5 certainly know he isn't, I've never seen so much fake one sided punditry from people who are suppose to know about boxing, Al Bernstein is clearly being paid a fortune by Channel 5.

Why fight Price, he's garbage. Fight Povetkin or Helenius.

It's a shame Cammarelle didn't turn pro, it would have been interesting.
