Comments Thread For: The Grooming of David Price

[BennyST]

"Is it too much too soon?" Is this writer having a laugh?! No need to worry on that score as Price won't be going anywhere near a world title until the Klits have gone. Whenever you hear Price talk all he ****s on about is 'long learning processes' and about being at least '12-18 months from being ready' on his winding journey. If the Klits are still around this time next year you can be sure Price will still be at least another '12-18 months' from being ready then too. Or '5 fights' was the most recent quote

Really? The first time the guy you say Price is ducking fought someone of Thompsons quality was nearly 30 fights into his career. He's not doing too badly considering. In fact, he's being moved along pretty quickly.

Everyone is always too quick to call out prospects. He's a prospect for a reason. Fighting Thompson at this stage is a big, and quick, step up. It's a good step though. He should be able to take him, but it'll be a good learning fight to take him to the next level. It's a good fight at this stage for him.
