    Has your opinion changed after

    Fury & Price fighting at the weekend on if the two should meet in the future?

    I was 100% convinced Price would K.O Fury now I do have doubts. I just don't think Price is that good. I'm sorry he is not ''the savior of the heavyweight division'' he will NEVER beat Wladimir or Vitali.
    When Fury called him a ''big, stiff idiot'' I laughed my head off because it was true. The guy is so stiff, I suppose its expected for a guy that size but he is just not athletic and IMO I think he is a bit of a one trick pony.

    Sure he blasted Skelton out faster than anyone has before, just as expected. But I feel Skelton though he was quickly dismantled kind of exposed a lot of flaws in Price tbh, he is far from the finished article.

    He can't box going backwards.
    He has no inside game - That would be fine if he had a great jab and could tie an opponent up.
    What is a guy who stands 6ft8 with an 82" reach doing letting Skelton plod forward like that & tee off on him? And where is his jab?
    He was actually surprised Skelton came straight at him like that? Did he not watch any tape what so ever?
    he seems really slow at bringing his hands back as well & gets hit too much by guys who shouldn't be putting a glove on him.

    I think Arreola would be a very good test for Price who if you ask me is a Mariusz Wach clone without the chin & with more power.

    I don't think he should be rushed but he should be matched with someone who can answer a few questions, Tony Thompson is not that guy. He is another Audley.

    As soon as Price steps up in class he"ll get knocked out, he has no chin.

      In my eyes his main flaw was not being able to fight on the inside. But in his defense, neither can either K2 brother, so that's not something he would have to worry about if he faced them.

      I think someone like Chisora would cause him fits and probably beat him.

      Price still beats Fury though.

        Like you Dan, before yesterday my money would have been on Price, but it's firmly on Fury at the moment

        Price doesn't look comfortable under pressure, he looks nervous. Huge power through so be does bring an equaliser to any heavyweight IMO

          Price hasn't been matched well, that's all. He should dump Maloney and get on board with MatchRoom.

          He needs to get a new trainer, too. Work on his footwork, guard and pump the jab. More so, he needs some rounds under his belt.

          If Price blows away Tony Thompson in early 2013, you'll be declaring him the 'saviour' once again.

            Price needs more fights with guys who are going to put him under pressure. He's mostly had it all his own way so far and didn't look like he really knew what to do with Skelton. He needs to become a more rounded fighter.

            Chisora is the obvious candidate.

              Am sorry but both of them are sheet, they don't look any where close to making me excited about HW boxing.

                    Neither looks like much to me. Fury has a little swagger but he aint **** either.
