This guy can't fight, he best fight weak European level fighters in the hope of making a living.

I won't write off Price completely when there are 4 World titles. I seen this once before with a HW. Oleg Maskaev was all but written off after huge losses to Tua, McCall, Kirk Johnson & Corey Sanders (300 lbs one eyed black guy not Wlad's conqueror). He got a new team & was cafefully matched. He got his chance against one top HW he already beat in Rahman & he pulled it off again. His team should keep him active the rest of 2016. No bums he needs rounds & his confidence back. I'd feed him Kevin Johnson, Gbenga Oloukan & Fred Kassi. All winnable fights & opponents who can offer him something different. 3 or 4 fights by the end of 2016. Get past 3 of them a guy like Chisora or Dillian Whyte could be available. He needs a test but one without knockout power. I believe all 3 guys would give him rounds & none of them have big power.Comment

Always comes across as a decent, intelligent guy. But he fought against Teper with no confidence, no authority in his punches. The way he looked pre-Thompson, he fought with a seek-and-destroy mentality that would've made him dangerous for almost anyone. Now he looks unsure of what to do, how to fight and as if his chin is going to let him down at any second.
There are different career paths he could aim for, maybe have a bit of luck and get matched with guys who are good but lack the pop to be a threat. But the division is heating up right now and it just seems like once he goes near the top 10 the same flaws are going to see him knocked out again.
I always liked him, great right hand, brought intensity, he wanted to fight the best while being humble, but it just didn't work out. He might beat Chisora, go from there to a Thompson rematch as he may be old enough by then for Price to finally beat him. But on recent form (even allowing for Teper's cheating) even that is too risky.Comment

I like Price, he is an exciting boxer to watch. Not very skilled, but you know a KO will happen. I hope in the future he fights someone decent and brings a good fight. The Thompson rematch was nice to watch. It should be demoralizing for Price to KD Thompson with a good shot to the temple, and watch him stand up like nothing happened.
By the way, I consider of bad taste, the decision of EBU to keep the outcome of the Teper contest.Comment

Price will get an easy 'tune up' then maybe be face Haye, Joshua or Whyte.
Then its nap time...again.Comment

David Price is technically just a slightly better version of Deontay Wilder!
The only differences are..
1. Bravery. Price was braver than Wilder which exposed his bumness quicker..
2. Management.. Wilder's handlers KNEW he was a bum and managed him accordingly..
and..
3. Wilder was a black American, and therefore had to be protected and promoted by the boxing fraternities under any circumstances...
Fortune does not favour the brave, poorly managed, white non-Americans!Comment
