Thompson TKO 2 Price = McCall TKO 2 Lewis

[Cuban Linx]

slight resemblance

David are you okay? I say David are you okay? Are you okay David?

Price is on Lennox and Wladimir's level as far as punching power, thats all he really needs.

Everyone laughed at Emanuel Steward when he picked up Lennox after the Mccall loss and Wlad after the Sanders/Brewster losses. Emanuel understood that raw punching power was more important than chin. Power is something you cant teach or learn, You either have the genetics or you dont. A fighter can be trained to protect his chin though, thats a fixable issue.

He'll be fine. Id like him to stay active though

Lennox Lewis comments on David Price's KO loss:

The famous British heavyweight Lennox Lewis expresses support to his compatriot David Price, who yesterday was knocked out in the second round by American veteran Tony Thompson.

"The way you react to a defeat, is more significant than the way you react to the win. You should draw conclusions and then move onwards and upwards!" said Lewis, who himself lost twice in one-punch KOs from hopeless crackhead Oliver McCall and from Hasim Rahman, but always came back after a defeat even better than before.

This is where I have to start to question Lennox's ability to evaluate talent. We know he can't give great advice when it comes to boxing, and before the fight he came out and said that Price is the heir apparent. Obviously he's one of those fighters who was great in the ring, but outside didn't what the hell was going on.

So obviously he's going to show support to Price, after he hyped him up. I still say this type of loss is as devastating as it gets.

Lewis displayed much more skill at this stage of his career. Price is just not that good but he got decent pop. I don't see him or Fury go very far.

Yep, and he was also the WBC champ by this time.

yeah it was shocking, he can come back and win a few fights, but i think we can forget about Price becoming a force in the division. Still think he beats Fury though lol.

He needs to stop leaving himself so open, but he's no spring chicken.

beats Fury? lmaoooo based on what? Fury is better than Price in every way save for punching power, and he still has more than enough pop to crack that chin inside 3. just stop, this guy was never anything more than a great anglo-saxon hope who was built up as a stick to beat the mouthy ***** with. now he's been exposed as a manufactured, stage-managed fraud and everyone can see what smart people already knew about Price - he doesn't have the talent, skills or chin to beat a man like Luke. different leagues.

I say David Price can come back a better fighter as Lennox Lewis did.

What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.

What do you think?

i think mccall is a bettr fighter than thompson and lewis is a better fighter than price. Price can comeback but to even suggest he is anywhere near Lennox is crazy.

Aye he's not got much else than a big right hand, but Fury isnt too hard to hit, and is also pretty ****e, and has been hurt before

I think he should rematch Thompson ASAP and show that this was a fluke. If he loses again, he should hang up his gloves or just continue on a domestic level. Fury? It would still be an interesting and very sellable match-up.
