I also think this is a good step up for Price. TT is not half as bad as people give him to be.
He can box and if he comes motivated as when he fought Wlad it would be a very good test for Price. I see Price taking it but it won't be an easy task against motivated TT.
He was regarded as best american HW 6 months ago...

Johnson should've been a good fight for Fury. It's not Fury's fault Johnson came for the payday alone.
I think Price will chase Chisora next. He's getting active and improving his opposition. If he only fights twice next year and/or still doesn't step it up by 2014, that's when I'll start worrying.

Originally posted by hogey View PostNot really sure how you can say that, Johnson never beaten anyone half decent in his life, cant punch and what he does throw amounts to about 5 punches a round, gases after 2 rounds and even got beat in a club fighters competition (prizefighter). Thompson is rank in the top 10, Johnson is not in anyones top 20 and has not been for ages.

Good fight for Price. Decent step up.
People need to remember he has only had 15 fights! and less the 39 rounds in total in those 15 fights. That isn't much at all for a prospect!
If Thompson was good enough for Wlad a few months ago then why isn't he good enough for a prospect 6 months later?

Why doesnt Price fight someone who is under 40 and on a winning streak? this will be the 3rd over 40 he has fought in a row

Wlad won his first international title in his 17th pro fight, and he won his first world heavyweight championship belt in 2000, at the age of 24.
Price fighting one old bum after another won't make him championship material overnight.
