I've only seen Wilder twice, he has power, but could be a Michael Grant type. Price is impressive, but I still thnk that he will get KOed if he fights a really big puncher (luckily for him there aren't many)
I'd pick Price if the fight happened now.

I believe Price is a much, much better boxer.
He's faster, more skilled, just as much power (at least in his bomb right hand).
For me it's a no brainer, Price take it.
Price has a good defence so we'll see how he handles a banger once he fights one.
Right now I'd say David Price based on the slightly better quality of opposition.
I haven't seen much of Wilder, but the last time I did see him, he looked crude with power. Price has better fundamentals but his chin hasn't really been tested.
The new Michael Grant is exactly as I see Wilder.
I'd favour Price because he looks more solid/neater at this stage but wouldn't be surprised if Wilder ironed him out. Shame it's a fight we'll never see unless they become "world" champ
From what I've seen of Wilder, he does have some serious power and that could present a problem for Price, who if he doesn't get caught with something big and KTFO, would likely box his way to a decision.
Wilder vs Price makes sense for both pugs at this point in their careers, i'd love to see it, and hope it happens in the near future.
Wilder has only fought bums and has never been tested either. I'd say Price wins by KO. He is the better technician and is more likely to land a clean right then Wilder to land a wild shot.
Tyson Fury. :)
Me too, Wilder does not impress me at all.Quote:

I hope he proves me wrong, I'd like to see a great young heavy from the US.
I've seen Wilder roughly 9,10 times and Price twice. I got Price in this now..
I believe Wilders power is very packaged and in at least two cases it literally did not land for the 'stat'. He's creating a bit of false confidence for himself and lacks depth under the Bronze gloss. He hasn't faced a durable and servicible vet for needed rounds so he's in no way ready for a young fresh talent on the rise who will actually punch into his delivery.
