But if Vitali stops avoiding him that would be a great fight for them both to go out on!
        Agree on his ability, but don't give him a pass with the 'not really interested in boxing' stuff. He just wants to avoid risk unless it involves ridiculous paydays.

            That being said, I think Price has been moved too slowly the past two years. His promoter need to step him up before he gets too much older.
            I think Price is packing some real Glass in that chin, we won't know until he steps up to international level. The Sexton & Harrison fights were no indicators on how he would go against top-class opposition. He's got some scary power at Heavy though.

              Price wouldn't get knocked down by little super middleweight journeyman Lolenga Mock, like Haye did.

              And Price wouldn't get stopped by an age 40 Carl Thompson.

                  Fury's a big mofo though.

                    Tyson saved boxing. There's been no HW since that has brought that kind of excitement to the sport.

                      David Haye was very inexperienced when those things happened to him though. I mean, you're talking about things that happened when he had less than 12 pro fights 7+ years ago. He's a very clever fighter now.

                      He has bad stamina and a horrible work rate, but he has the ability to change a fight around with just one punch. He's a good finisher. Price would lose to David Haye right now. Badly, IMO.
