Comments Thread For: David Price Parts Ways With Trainer Franny Smith

Maybe you should come back with that comment once you've taken a punch from a 260 pound top 10 heavy.

Clearly, his defence is the problem.

If you think his defence is the only problem, you are very foolish.

Did I say it was his only problem? I think it's the biggest problem. Many good heavyweights have been dropped by guys a lot worse than TT.

I also said in another post that he should work on his skills and add more to his arsenal. But his defense is the major problem.

And it can be fixed.

defense is by far his biggest problem along with his mental toughness. also needs to snap that jab out more. I like his power though. he cracks hard with the right hand. still dont get all the hate and negativity he gets on this board. yes,,he folded in his last fight but why not root for him and hope he can get back on track. hes a young likeable guy with true power

The biggest problem is he has no heart. Amir Khan has a poor defence and a bad chin but at least he has heart.

Price is a Big Stiff Pusssy who folds under the slightest hint of pressure.

There's no fixing that.

I don't think so. He has heart.

He's just fighting ****** a lot of the time when he shouldn't. He's getting stuck in when he should move or hold. And it sucks if you're in round 5 having run out of gas, looking at the clock there's still 7 rounds left.

think its more nerves than his heart. being so nervous and hyped up really drains your energy. he was exhaused and clearly had nothing left

It sucks when you have no heart. He didn't even try to do anything. He just stood there getting rained on more than a fat girl in a hailstorm. Bending over and looking at the referee to stop the fight. He mentally and physically shutdown and quit.

Price is what 31? Even though there are a lot of older guys in HW, Price doesn't have the time. With whatever trainer he gets, he needs to set a hard fast schedule for himself and if that means fighting 5 or more times a year, do it. Put himself through the grinder for the next few years and hopefully by the mid 30s he can be world contender/prospect again.

wow,,,I always thought he was mid 20's or so

Defend the commonwealth belt vs alex leapai or lucas browne in australia then neven pajkic in canada... On the road, 2 decent opponents who will punch back but they are totally winnable fights. At this point a tomato can is pointless. He needs a couple domestic title fights that challenge him some. Pajkic would be who i'd match him with.
