Hes big and powerful but what does he have that threatens a Klitschko, he not a devastating puncher, his handspeed is not blinding, hes nowhere near as consistent as either brother with regard to pumping the jab, hes decent but hes no threat to either, there is no threat in the entire division outside of Odlanier Solis imo

Do boxingscene members seriously think this fella David Price has a chance at a title

not at the moment, but give him a couple more fights and years experiance I think he will be dominating the heavyweight division for a long time to come. He's got the size and the power to continue the Klit formula of jabing people into submission as he did against Sexton

Solis isn't a devastating puncher either. Price is a damn good prospect whose improving leaps & bounds. He has great athleticism, power & punch variety. No he isn't blindingly fast but for a 6ft8, 250lb giant he certainly is no slouch.
I don't think personally he should be mentioned in the same breath as the Klitschko's, he is still young for a H/W and with only 13 fights, a novice. A prospect who needs time to develop.
He shouldn't be rushed & IMO Solis is no threat to either brother certainly not until he sorts his weight issues out and gets some decent wins under his belt.

He has 13 wins and has a couple of good names on his resume so far. He shouldn't be rushed to fight one of the brothers. I am Frank Maloney is not going to rush him too much.

Lets face it Vitali is gone, if he don't retire in the next year and continues to fight top 5 fighters then he will get beat.
Wlad is happy fighting past it fighters but might see Price as a threat in a couple of years time, so he might pounce on him early while he lacks experience.
