Comments Thread For: David Price on The Mounting Pressure, Skelton Challenge

I disagree. Well i agree that 29 is not quite over the hill, but to only have 14 matches in nearly 4 years as a Professional Fighter is going beyond taking your time. Its becoming clear that Price and his team are going to wait out the Klitchskos Reign before they step in with a quality opponent or challenge for title. Well either that or Team Price knows about a flaw with Davey Boy and is keeping him out of Harms way. Time for Price to stop taping new episodes of BUM Fights and to start taking his journey to a title. He turned pro late. He fights atleast 4 times a year apart from 2011 where he only fought 3 times due to an injury so he's pretty active. I don't see the point you're trying to make. Wlad had almost 35 pro fights before he fought for a world strap and you expect Price who is essentially a novice to jump right in? I don't expect David to step up in class until he's had around 18-20 fights but you can make sure when he steps up he wouldn't be there just to make up the numbers.

He's only had 14 fights. 29 is not old at HW. The big fights will come it's just a matter of time. I disagree.

Price has no heart nor chin nor future. There you have it.

I bet Pac could beat him in sparring. Price will knock the head of your god clean off. :wave:

Price is too old to be fucking about with Lonsdale belt. He needs to make some serious headway next year, he'll be 30 next July. He's only had 14 fights. 29 is not old at HW. The big fights will come it's just a matter of time.

Price is wasting his years staying at this level and needs to move on to challenging decent fighters from outside of the UK. Forget whatever belts there is to offer in the UK, cause beating bums like Skelton will do nothing for him as far as experience or status. I like the potential David Price has as a Heavyweight Champion, however, the very slow timetable and the choice of opponents for Price, has me wondering what his Management Team is scared of? maloney sees a goldmine in price. he will bring himg slowly much like he did with lennox. skelton is old & price should have little difficulty with him. you have to remember he hasn't had that many fights. he's clobbering the journeymen & after skelton there may be one more fight at the domestic level then i see him fighting abroad. too be honest he could be a very hard opponent to match. many guys may avoid him like many avoided wladimir klitschko.

He's much more active now than he's been before and fighting good opponents. I don't have any worries about his progress at the moment.

Once price wins the lonsdale belt outright he will move on to the european scene. After this fight I think he needs 1 or 2 more defences to win it outright. There is no one in the UK to challenge him at this time so I dont know where those defences would come from but he is the next big thing in the heavyweight division but he needs to keep fighting every 3 to 4 months becuase he's already early 30's

Price needs to win the Lonsdale belt out-right & then start fighting outside of the UK.
