Where does david price go from here?

[BWC]

I'll never forget the broadcast for that first TT fight, right before he got put down by a slap shot, the announcer was like "better believe the Klitschko brothers are watching this, along with Tyson Fury..." and he went down like 1 second later...I busted a gut..

Price probably goes back to domestic fights with no-hopers until he finally gets a call from someone like Ortiz or something to cash out. I know everyone thinks he will retire tomorrow but what else is he going to do? I doubt the broadcast booth pays all that well, and now that he's a laughingstock why put himself through that?

Maybe he'll go the training route?? Who knows..

He can still probably get a few decent Domestic & European level fights. His days of being a headliner are probably over but he could definitely still be an undercard fighter in my opinion. I suspect he will retire though. I'd still watch him fight just because of his power.

[NEETzsche]

I would honestly still be happy to see him on British undercards against guys like David Allen and so on. His fights are undeniably entertaining

Retirement. He's not cut out for the sport.

Might be in the minority but i dont think he needs to retire.

Just because someone isnt going to be world class does not mean they have to jack it in. Only a very limited few become world champions.

Even beside that point, i think theres steps david price can take to improve and i think he can get to fringe world level. That right hand is lethal, thats god given power which many heavyweights could only wish they had. Joshua knows first hand what its like to be caught by that.

Apparantly david price looks very good in the gym, so some of the technical talent is there. Hammers a decent fighter to be honest, hes not a bum but hes not elite. You'd be hard pressed to give hammer a round, price dropped him, and i thought some of the body work price was putting in was really good. However, as he has done before, he gassed and panicked.

Whether he can be a top top heavyweight i doubt, but i dont think hes a hopeless case.

I think dave coldwell was a bad choice and i think hes a trainer with few credentials. I think the state he came in physically for that fight was disgusting, and thats something that can be vastly improved with a better S&C coach. I fail to believe he is some cardio king like dave coldwell made out, when he is in that shape and weight.

Im not sure that price is seeing one already, but surely a good sports psychologist would be able to help?

To me the main fault seems to be in two areas that could potentially both be addressed, fitness and nerves, and it seems to be a shame that he would retire rather than work on these aspects of his game.

So, do people think price should continue? If so, can he improve? Is the psychological issue that easy to combat? Any suggestions for trainers that would help to get the best out of him?

Where does David Price go from here? Hopefully into another profession.

That **** in the bold literally made me fall over with hysterical laughter dude. Like seriously. Like I'm gonna have to find the clip on Youtube.

Retirement, he needs to step up a security firm or something. Boxing is not his thing anymore. Seriously no point in boxing on unless he gets a good pay doing it. But if they going to be offering him less than £50k to fight, then just pack it in.

Retirement hopefully.

I just watched this video on Youtube. Somebody else asking the same question as the OP and coming up with some interesting ideas.

Daivid Price: Where oh where from here?

[Weltschmerz]

hopefully he retires before he gets himself badly hurt.
