Does Price have the worst chin ever? I know it's the HW division, but he has a fragile chin. I've seen old ladies with cancer who could take a punch better than Price.
Look at him coil and load up on that overhand and the torque on that lunging left hook. That's about as much power as a 230lb bloke can generate.
That overhand likely puts just about anybody down and multiple times as they're scrambling to try get back up with their feet not under them.
He has a weak chin but this don't demonstrate that. Those were some nasty shots by a probable roided to the gills HW puncher.
The same guy who flattened Perez and knocked the highly durable Takam smooth out.

The right hand that started it was not much at all and Price was out on his feet. I'm pretty sure many of us here would have survived that mostly glancing blow.
After the right hand, Povetkin could have literally pushed Price over with one finger.
Actually those glancing temple shots are the worst shots you can get hit with. They're the shots that throw your equilibrium off and turn your legs to jelly. If anything this showed he has very strong legs at least.
I was surprised he got up from the first knock down and still had his legs that makes me think as bad as his chin is its not the worst around
even then the finishing blow was a free shot for povetkin because price was distracted having visions of heaven and he was sort of still awake on the canvas albeit it in another dimension
I didn't see his last fight but I have seen him KOed by punches that did not look hard. Even Khan only gets KOed by hard punches. It seems like punches that wouldn't bother most heavyweights are enough to drop Price. I can't think of a main event level heavyweight with a chin as weak as Price's chin.
Khan even ate Maidana's hardest punches, and somehow stayed on his feet.
It's hard to say since it's the HW division. But he has a tendency of getting hit flush. Two of his KO losses (2nd Thompson fight and Hammer fight) were a result of exhaustion. But his other 3, 1st Thompson, Teper and Povetkin, he got nailed flush.

Dude, it was an full on overhand right from Povetkin which fully connected on the temple. He’s dropping most heavyweights with that.
The difference is that most heavyweights with that reach/height advantage are never going to let that land. Price is ****ing huge but incapable of fighting tall or showing any defence apart from earmuffing.
Price shouldn’t have been in there with him but he had multiple times more success against povetkin, almost dropping him whereas Browne held a version of a world title (although stripped) and was completely flattened with ease by Whyte.
For sure. I think sometimes people lose sight of just how strong and tough these guys are. A normal guy with no training could punch Price as hard as he could in the face and Price would just laugh it off.
If I catch price clean hes not laughing it off, believe you me!

Pretty sure he either meant among hws or p4p. Let's not give David Price credit because people half his size who aren't boxers would have also been ko'ed by the punches that ko'ed him. That's like me failing a college physics class compared to my peers but wanting extra credit because I'm still better at it than middle school kids....Obviously it's a ridiculous comparison.
Did you read his posts or just saw what I wrote? he doesn't have the worst chin even for heavyweights, their are guys we never hear of who probably have the punch resistance of a middleweight. He has poor stamina and bad defense, his chin is bad but it's not as bad as people suggest

Exactly.. He's fighting big powerful guys who weigh 220+ and train their body's to throw punches with extreme force. He probably dusts off shots from an average man like nothing
Your average man probably gets ko'd in one punch by some of the heavyweight boxers he's fought. Povetkin probably kills half the people on this site with the punches he landed

I guess it was never picked up over 3 round amateur fights when he wouldnt gas out, and he could actually beat some guys just by clubbing them out before he would ever run out of lung power and fold. But in the pro ranks it stands out like a sore thumb.
Some people just dont have the makeup for pro boxing -yet thrive in amateurs - Fraudley and Price are classic examples (although Fraudley was several levels below, that clown would jump onto the floor BEFORE he got hit).
