Comments Thread For: Maloney Admits Price Has To Return To Domestic Level

[Weebler I]

He had no jab what so ever

This is key for me. The guy kept going to war with no chin whenever he has a longer reach than Wladimir Klitschko.

I don't know if he can come back, but he does need some proper training.

Price is done and was exposed.....

He seems like a nice guy, but just isnt a natural fighter,, Relied to much on size and never properly learned the technique side of boxing..... Nor does he have the stamina to compete vs top guys......

[FrankieBruno]

Price will never be a serious contender, I think people just need to admit it

If he wants to carry on he can, he can fight and win matches, but he will also lose many if pitted against anyone with a solid chin, boxing brain.

He will never be a HW champ

Haye didn't get to throw his best punch on Klit. If he had and made full contact, Klit would be in a coma.

If he made the full contact with the baseball bat, yeah maybe...

He landed at least 2 big 'hayemakers' - one in 3rd round and one in 12th.
It was as clear as it gets. It's not like Wlad will stand there, put his hand down, not lean back once the contact is made.

No 'coma', Wlad came back and actually dominated the rest of those rounds.

Nothing wrong with Wlad's chin whatsoever.

All the talk about Price being finished and needing to retire is nuts. Not everyone can be a champion, or even a top 10 guy. Price was fed to the wolves way too early, probably has ruined him, even if he ever did have what it took to be a top guy, which is doubtful. But if he starts fighting the right type of opponents he can certainly be a top domestic or European level fighter. He's got great power and size, good athleticism, just bad chin, and defense, and stamina. Nothing wrong with being a top level gatekeeper, top 25 type guy, especially when you can make a ton of money off it. He'd still probably beat Wilder, Mago and some other overhyped prospects (that would be great, a former overhyped prospect ruining the hype on current overhyped prospects)

yeah he's been floored a dozen times but it's great. nothing wrong with khan's chin either. if khan clinched for every second of the fight he would be an all time great lol.
