Comments Thread For: David Price Sees Nothing Wrong With Skelton Bout

[ImFromInternet]

I don't care if he is 35 years old he still has had only 14 fights. Witha that said. If he is still fighting less then elite fighters in his 25th fight then get back to me. Which in reality is really the norm these days. Don't believe me? Look at Arreola's record. He is still fighting the Joey Abell's and Rafael Butler's of the world and he is pushing 40 fights. So, in my opinion the Price detractors have no legit argument about his choice of opponents at this point in his career.

You don't care if he's 35? you must be a real Price fan then. I'm not saying he's too old yet, but at 35 he'd probably be. What i'm almost certain of, is that he has a weak chin. But then again, so does Wladimir and he has been downed many times and still he has had a decent career. But let's be realistic, Price is no Klitschko.

I repeat it once again, these guy's are just waiting for the K2's to retire and therefore have no hurry in finding competition. Pathetic, or like how Haye wants Vitali now when he's already 41. After his showdown against Wladimir he should just shut up, fight Povetkin instead, another K2 ducker.

My point is, any boxer at the age of Price(29) with extended amateur career or even as few fights as 14(if they are not good opponents, it's his problem)
should fight Wladimir right now! Vitali could retire on my behalf.

Before he fought Fraudley I had never seen Price fight and knew littkle about him. So, I am not a fan of his. And to suggest that he should fight Wlad next is rather ridiculous in my opinion. And if he was 35 and had only 14 fights I would still say he is fighting an adequate level opponent. And not to get to far off track but in my opinion Wach isn't even a legit contender. And how many fights does he have? But it is not Wlad's fault that no one wants to fight him.

i'll still stick to my view. All the highest ranked fighters should face Wladimir in order, starting from Povetkin, then Helenius, Pulev, Fury, Price etc...

It should be their problem if they're not prepared, why did they pick bums then and why are they ranked in the first place if they're not fighting the champ?
A loose in pro-boxing shouldn't be made so bad thing, besides i guarantee some of those names would pull out a surprise, i'd say one of the tall fighters, since Wladimir couldn't clinch on them. His chin is glass anyway.

By the way Hagler is one of my favorites too, but i think he won the fight. Like Marvin said, how can the challenger win the title by running? I agree, if you defend you can back up, but if ur not the title holder, u should step forward.

As of now Price isn't even ranked in the top ten. Unless of course he is by one the alphabet organizations. But I honestly never read their rankings because there is so much bull5hit involved. And Wlad's supposed glass jaw is and always was overrated. Simply because he gassed badly in two of his losses and it really had nothing to do with his chin. And I always have had mad respect for Hagler as a fighter. And also because he was able to walk away from boxing after the lose to Sugar Ray and never looked back.

If he gets by Skelton there will be a showdown with Julius Francis for the vacant something or other belt.

The only people defending Price's progression are Americans.

Which is funny as they have no idea who's who over here and are just going off records.

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

It's a mandatory and he's going straight from his last fight back into camp to get it done quickly. No problem with it at all whatsoever.

In this day and age with communications and You Tube the way that they are you don't think that we can decipher information on our own? We are actually a little bit more intelligent then you may believe. And I am in no way a fan of his but that doesn't even matter because he still only has 14 fights. And yet you have fans stating that he should be fighting Wlad already. How ridiculous is that? Jeez, it really does seem like you Brits are a tad desperate.

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

I'm absolutely certain we'll see Price fight ranked guys like Helenius, Chisora etc next year.

[B-Bomber]

except that Vitali was 27, Lennox 26 and Tyson 19!!!

Lennox olympic gold, Vitali amateur silver.

Exactly
