    It's always going to be hard to develop a guy who excels in one area but is very flawed in another. Price had the size/length/power to destroy domestic guys in a round or 2 but didn't have the chin to take a good punch or the stamina to finish a fight if an opponent survived his early attack. Maybe get a ouija board and ask Manny Steward on how a tall chinny HW with stamina, chin, confidence issues can become a great fighter but I don't think Price was ever going to be great with any trainer. His best shot vs almost everyone would be to go for an early KO.

      Price is basically a big guy with some skill and decent power but any advantage he has is completely nullified by having a chin made of glass and a 3 round gas tank.

          Well, he's chinny and not skilled enough to avoid getting caught at the higher level of boxing. There's things he can do, but so far it's not really working for him.

            He just isn't good enough to get beyond a certain level, like 99.9% of boxers.

              He has a terrible chin. He is a heavyweight Khan without Khan's overall speed and skills. He has great punching power but that terrible chin will always keep him from making it to the top level.

                The best is still coming for Pricey, he's going to rack up some big wins at European level still, mark my words

                  No chin just like Michael Grant.

                    Fought like an amateur, never developed 12 round stamina or fight IQ.

                      His stamina IMO is most likely due to a lack of confidence/not being relaxed enough.
