Who has the WORSE chin - Seth Mitchell or David Price?

[PainfromUkraine]

Two legendarily steel chi- wait, what?

Seth 'All American' Mitchell. A guy with a nice story behind him, seemingly in-shape, strong, a late starter who at one point was viewed as potentially America's next big hw star...a man to dethrone the Klitschko dominance. Yeah...that didn't happen. Seems Seth's old injury prone bodily antics moved from his busted knee to his busted chin. He has been brutally knocked out by Chris Arreola and Johnathan Banks - both in the opening 2 rounds, and was down many times during those fights. However, he had the heart to keep getting up.

BTW, comedy interlude - Mitchell's main BoxRec picture is now one of him playing American Football rather than boxing or a portrait.

On to the BSI - Big Stiff Idiot, as he is affectionately known. Pricey. Big Dave. Scouse Warrior. Plumber from Liverpool. A man seemingly too nice for boxing, with more sensitive whiskers than this guy.



After being twice beatdown by old man Tony 'Frosties are GRRRReatttt hence my body' Thompson, he at least gave the Tiger some joy in his later years, and some pleasure and pain to TT's now paraplegic wife.

Big David's adventure has now probably been ended by Erkan 'Kebab Salesman on weekends' Teper...a guy with seemingly a good, fan friendly style, but too much of a liking to his kebabs during camp.


The real question is though - who has the WORSE chin out of these two unfortunate souls, who despite their wildest hopes and hard work, found out the hard way that an obese man CAN knock you out, in the heavyweight division.

Idk you've got one guy who got obliterated by a relatively light hitting Banks then the other is a guy who ended up looking like a turtle stuck on its back from a glancing tap from a 70 odd yr old Thompson.
Its a close one. I'd like to see it answered on Brainiac.

It's a definitely a tricky one.

I gave Price the sympathy vote and went Mitchell lol

I accidentally made it an anonymous poll so you would have been safe

Or taken the middle ground and voted bad as each other hahaha.

Man, both chins are pretty bad lol

I really feel bad for Price though, as I've met a lot of pros and Price is probably the nicest, most genial of the lot. He also knows a bit about boxing too. Take into account Price's size, reach and power and he has the makings of what should/could have been an exceptional heavyweight. But here we are, yet again bemoaning another loss to a less than stellar opponent.

Now, I see a few similarities between Price and the earl Wlad, both folded under pressure, both didn't know how to use their obvious advantages and both needed a good trainer. I'm not sure if Price hast he talent to rebuild now, nor does he have the name recognition for anyone to invest any time in him. Which is sad, because if there's anyone who deserves a break, it's good old Pricey.

good chins are rare at hw since everyone hits so hard

these guys both have very very poor defense though

Price could probably still hang around as British champion, and just forget about world or European honours. He would still make decent money and could rebuild his career as an excellent domestic guy.

Difference with Wlad is, Wlad was never KTFO where we was completely out like Price was today. It seems even as if each of these stoppages is either making Price's chin fundamentally weaker, or just breaking down his belief and mentality to take a punch entirely.

Mitchell > Price, all day every day.


Price is absolute trash. Can't believe posters such as LacedUp were touting him as a future HW champion

wlad was caught off guard as a youngster but he's always had a certain grimness about him on fight night, you could tell you hadn't seen the last of him

price always looks soft, jolly, friendly, even hesitant in the ring... he just doesn't seem a boxer to me

Perhaps youth in the UK vs a Ukraine military family plays a role
