Is Jousha Avoiding David Price?

Boxrec has Price ranked 29th in the world and that's about right. Joshua is a champion and should be fighting top 10 contenders and not number 29. Price is 33 years old and he has been knocked out 3 times in 24 fights. Price doesn't sound very scary. Anything can happen in sparring but in real fights Joshua looks to be vastly superior to Price. Joshua has KOed everyone he ever fought including boxers much better and more rugged than Price.Comment

Price is a wicked puncher who can probably Ko just about anybody if he hits them with big punches on the jaw. Still he has to earn a title fight by beating a top guy. The Molina fight stinks but Molina still has a much better record than Price.Comment

price does not deserve to fight joshua or for a title. he hasnt beaten anyone of note since being KOd by teper, before that he hadnt beaten anyone of note after being KOd twice by thompson. hell, even before that he was just fighting domestic level guys like sexton, skelton and audley. so he really hasnt beaten anyone, period.
joshua isnt fighting the best competition, but they are still far beyond price. molina just knocked out adamek for example, even a past his prime adamek is much better than anyone price has fought let alone beaten. brezeale stopped mansour, again, not overly impressive but better than anything price has done.Comment

You would figure the Price fight would be bigger. I haven't looked at the IBF rankings but I believe Molina was top 10 after he beat Adamek & claimed an IBF regional belt. Molina also could be a measuring stick to Wilder as it took Wilder a few hard rounds to get the win. Is Price rated in the top 15 of the IBF? I don't think there is any ducking going on. Price does look more menacing as he put on 30lbs of muscle but let's see if it helps him take punches better. Get Price in there with Charr or Duhaupas then we can look to Joshua down the road...You can call me crazy, but Jousha seems to have a lot of excuses for avoiding Price....there was no reasonable excuse to fight Molina over Price
Yes Price isnt the greatest boxer, but him and Jousha is a 50/50 fight....Big tall guy, with a thunderous right hand..Stylistically i can see Price taking Big Jousha out...
I think Price also has the mental edge given he floored Jousha in sparring
Its a plain and simple duck...i can smell the fear offa Jousha's fanny
He has a title now, the pressure is on him, he is no longer the up and coming hunter...
Also heard a story about him getting dropped in sparring again by some Olympian...
Probably explains why he has hired Robert McCrackenComment
