    I agree with the Areola fight and that if he can't handle Chris then..... They are trying to talk this fight up but I call BS. It wasn't that Thompson lost its how he lost his last fight....

      Adamek outboxed him too, I think a 6'9" 250lb one punch ko artist would handle Arreola, as I say, if Price couldn't do him fairly easy he may as well pack it in.
      I agree that Vitali schooled him - it was a masterpiece performance by Vitali, one of his finest imo.

      Arreola has a granite chin, Price would have to go to war with that guy.

        the question is, can he avoid getting hit in it the way Wlad has managed.
        I don't think he can, when the pressure is on and someone who can hit a bit fights back at him he's going to panic like a young wlad and he will get dropped, and I think he knows it

            He got a good chin, but he can be stopped

            was it McCline who dropped him?

            Vitali broke him down, remember when Chisora fought Vitali, Vitali couldn't hurt him, Haye floored him twice and stopped him

            Vitali has that clubbing power, heavy handed but not that much snap. Haye, Wlad, Price, they have that shocking power, you don't see it coming then BOOM right on the chin.

            I think Price could stop him, but i think arreola could stop price

            that's why its a good fight

              I'd like to see pricey step it up, theres a lot of hype round him in England, especially here in Liverpool, he looks like the business, but so did the Michael grants of this world until they stepped in with someone as big as them who could punch, wouldn't mind seeing him fight Alexander 'ridiculously poor mans' dimitrenko to see how he handled someone with a similar reach

                yeah maybe calling Arreola granite chin was a bit of a bold statement. But he takes and trades punches at hw. Arreola even says he LIKES getting hit ha ha...

                  Some seem to be saying that a loss against Arreola would be the end of PRices career, i really dont see how thats true. Obviously it depends on manner of the loss but even a KO can be come back from. Despite his age Price is in a division where fighters tend to fight longer and he is a fresh 29 year old as hes had headgear on most his career so he would have time to come back should he lose to Arreola. Who remember is a top 10 heavy with lots of experience against world level opposition, when he comes in shape he can be trouble to anyone outside of Vitali or Wlad.
