Similarities Between Wlad, Haye, and Price Losses

* When Wladimir fought Lamon Brewster in 2004, he hurt Brewster early and spent a lot of energy trying to finish him. He lost by TKO in the 5th round. * When David Haye fought Carl Thompson, also in 2004, he dropped Thompson early on and spent a lot of energy trying to finish him off. He lost by TKO in the 5th round. * Today Price dropped Thompson early and spent a lot of energy trying to get him out of there. He also lost by TKO in the 5th round. When Wladimir lost to Brewster Vitali suggested he think about retiring. I remember the commentator saying "David Haye's career is in absolute tatters" when Haye lost to Carl Thompson. Are we giving up on Price too soon?

Those guys was always good just not finished articles, I am still weary of Haye. I said it before both fights, Thompson stops him. Price just isn't good. What does he even do well? Hes huge & has got a good right hand hes only able to let off if you stand in front of him. He is extremely limited and to be honest it shocks me how so when you look at his amateur pedigree and physical attributes. Uncoordinated, too upright, has no jab - nothing but a straight right. He can't handle movement, he has nothing to fall back on either. A guy like Wlad can jab, he can control your head, hes very fluid for a big guy. You show Price movement & he literally freezes. Hes a big robot who short circuits when shown movement. Price has no stamina, his defense is rubbish, his chins pathetic. He literally has nothing but size & a potent straight right from the outside. I am genuinely not even sure he'd beat a Richard Towers.

So the idea here is they ran out of gas and it wasn't their chins. Have you seen any of the fights I referred to?

Wlad and Haye were in complete control and punched themselves out looking for the stoppage. Price was never in control of either fight. He was looking confused in both and his chin makes Wlad and Haye's look like iron.

Carl "The Cat" Thompson wasn't dropped by Haye. You could argue it should have been stopped early as he was taking a one-sided caning, but... what a guy. This is true. Thompson took a monstrous beating. Price gassed in 3 rounds. Which is a bit crazy because he is an in-shape guy which eludes to a mental issue more than a physical one. He didn't throw that many punches did he? He must have just had a huge adrenaline dump as a result of all that nervous energy. Haye was beating seven shades of shite out of Carl and hitting him with everything bang on the chin.

Got to question Price's heart. Also, he seems to fold as soon as he's hit; whether to the body or head

Differences; They weren't knocked out early by the same fighter the fight prior.

Wlad was very skilled but not polished. David Price is neither
