Comments Thread For: David Price Back in October: Harrison, Skelton in Play

[joe strong]

harrison still has something left & everyone loves to hate on audley so why not see if he gets his ass kicked by price. this would be his toughest test yet. harrison is a gold medalist, a former prizefighter & european champion.he is a big couterpunching southpaw who has never really been able to let his hands go.

David Price need to be test now. With 13 fights at 29 years old it's time.

what's with everyone wanting every boxing prospect to fight world beaters after 10-15 fights!?

IMO you should have at least 25-30 fights before you even challenge for a world title, so that you have the experience to deal with different styles and situations in the ring.

(obviously there are exceptions E.G Rigondeaux as he has had hundreds of amatuer fights therfore he already has the experience, although the am's and pro game are a different kettle of fish)

The Klitschko's keep fighting guys with less than 20 wins and no real amatuer pedigree (or shot old men) and everyone wonders why they aren't being challenged (obviously its not their fault as their are no experienced and threatning fighters in their division but still)

let Price, Fury, Chisora, Mitchell, Wilder and Pulev Fight solid journeymen and fringe contenders for a few years and then when the Klitschko's retire we will have a stack, of experienced, confident and hopefully skillful Heavyweights battling for the title(s) as opposed to "shot/rubbish" fighters that the Klitschko's have already Ko'd which is what they will be labelled in the future if they are rushed too quickly.

Forget Harrison and Skelton, go after someone like Ibragimov, Estrada, Guinn etc.

His victories over Sexton, Dallas and McDermott should be good enough to prove his worth at domestic level and now he needs to push on. He's not learning anything getting rid of these guys in 5 rounds, he needs to be getting rounds in against experienced and good fighters.

Price, at 29, doesn't have a few years to fight cans and he shouldn't anyway regardless of age. With his amateur pedigree and current form, he should be fighting contenders before his 20th fight.
