Comments Thread For: Thompson Vows To Destroy Fury vs. Price Showdown

[Weltschmerz]

You don't know what you're talking about, keep going off BoxRec statistics. I doubt you've even seen the guy fight.

I have seen all of Price's fights, and I tell you, the guy needs to step it up if he wants to go somewhere. Fury is the man to follow in Britain, young and still improving. Price might not get better than he is now. I respect Price, but he didn't prove much yet and is a bit of a hype job

The size of his man-****?

I like how you boxing experts compare Price to Wladimir, I mean, the guy is clearly on the same level, if not better than Wlad.

Who said Price was on the same level? For that matter who said Price will even achieve the same level.

And you will have to excuse my spelling error earlier. I was posting from my phone which automatically corrects words it doesn't know. So sorry to inconvenience you.

Agree with all that, people judge with their heart and not their head though.

Price is "nicer" than Fury, so they want him to succeed, and will claim he's "better" as an effect of that.

Fury is an *******, but he's better than Price.

Accept it.

Lets talk about stepping it up and do a little comparison.


In Wlads 15th fight he fought Ladislav Husarik who was 4-13-1. Price at 15 fights fought Matt Skelton who was 28-6 and who had challenged for a title only 4 years previous. In his 16th fight Wlad fought Derrick Lampkins who was 9-3-1. Price is fighting Tony Thompson who just challenged for the title in his last fight and is ranked 11 by the WBA. Seems to me Price is stepping it up much more than your hero.

Lets go a little further though, shall we? By Wlads 25th fight he still had not fought a contender and had lost to 24-13-1 journeyman Ross Puritty. It wasn't till his 29th fight that he finall fought Axel Schultz who was a former title challenger and ranked fighter. So please, stop with the double standards already.

You've just been again!

that's only one way looking at it,

Wlad won his first world title aged 24 in the year 2000.
Price is soon 30 years old and has yet to get a real challenge - his first one will be vs the tiger, and to me, Thompson is old and shot. What's Thompson ever done anyway?

Please don't start comparing resumes like that, you make yourself look imbecile once again.

Schwwingggg...

You take our discussion in a completely different direction, I guess that means you know you're looking ******.

The only one who looks ****** here is you, you lack arguments and when you're cornered you turn to insults.

But hey, what could I expect from a James Toney fan.

You make a ****** assertion that Price looks to finish opponents early and jumps on them. I corrected you and said this isn't the case, he boxes and if the KO comes, it comes. These are his words not mine and it's evident from the way he fights too.

Then you take our discussion in a completely different direction and start talking about Price's opposition. I don't know how Price is a hypejob, who's singing his praises? His competition is fine for someone who's had 15 fights and is British and who else has proven themselves in 15 fights?

Try again.. you said I never saw Price fight, from there the discussion went on.

His competition isn't fine.

So if you've seen Price why make such an assertion? If someone says something like that, I'm going to think they have no idea what they're talking about. Your logic was flawed and pointed this out but you never rebutted my argument.

How isn't his competition fine?

After doing the seemingly mandatory several fights against tomato cans, he stepped it up against Raphael Butler, same guy that most recently fought Arreola. As a Brit, his path goes British/Commonwealth > European > World.

So he targets and demolishes Tom Dallas and puts himself into title contention for the English belt. McDermott was seen as a good opponent having destroyed Olubamiwo and arguably beating Fury, Fury settled things in the rematch.

Price blew him away in a round and impressed a lot of people, next was a good opponent in Sam ***ton for the British & Commonwealth titles. ***ton had only been beaten by Chisora prior to this and again, Price dominated and knocked him out. So with the British belt now in his clutch, he sets about winning the Lonsdale belt outright. Name me any other British heavyweights that Price could've fought to do so?

He's still one fight off securing it and there is talk that it might be against Chisora.
