I always used to say Fury but im having my doubts. Price has looked really good recently and Fury vacating the British title didnt look good. Its a fight that needs to happen and soon.
i know the fought in the ams and fury had only had a handful of fights compared to what price had done but i didnt think anyone went downQuote:

i could be wrong
This whole thread is very interesting in this link. Tyson hadnt even had 20 fights when they fought, to Prices over 60. Tyson had just won a bronze in the world championships. Read the last comment.
David Price vs Tyson Fury [Archive] - Warrior Boxing Forums
Price by a long, long way
from wiki
Amateur career
As an amateur, Fury represented both Ireland and England. Fury represented Ireland three times at international level. He initially fought out of the Holy Family Boxing Club in Belfast, Northern Ireland and later switched to the Smithboro Club in County Monaghan in the Republic of Ireland.[7] In a double international duel against an experienced Polish team in 2007, the Irish team lost 12-6 overall; Fury, however, was victorious in both his fights in Rzeszów and Białystok.[8] In another Irish match against the USA, Fury won his bout by knock-out.[9]
He was forced to withdraw from the Irish national championships after officials from the Holy Trinity BC in Belfast, the club of the then Irish amateur heavyweight champion, submitted a protest regarding his eligibility.[9][10] He won a bronze medal at the World Junior Championships in 2006.[11]
In England, whist representing Jimmy Egan's Boxing Academy, he participated in the senior national championships in 2006 but was beaten by David Price 22-8 despite knocking Price down.[12]
In May 2007, he won the EU Junior Championship representing England, and later lost to Maxim Babanin in the final of the European Junior Championships. As a junior, he was ranked number three in the World behind the Russians Maxim Babanin and Andrey Volkov, but lost out to David Price for a place at the Olympic Games in Beijing.
Price was chosen for the 2008 Olympic team ahead of Fury due to Olympic rules restricting each country to one boxer per weight division. Fury also unsuccessfully tried to qualify through Welsh and Irish ancestry, and attributed his failure to qualify for the Olympics as his reason for turning professional, instead of waiting for a chance that might not have come in 2012.[10]
In the absence of Price (who won Olympic Bronze in Beijing) he became national champion (ABA) in 2008.[5]
Fury's amateur boxing record stood at 35 fights, 31 wins, 26 wins by KO, with 4 losses.

Fury dropped price in that amatuer fight he just turned 17 and price was 22

I dont see the point of bringing up the unpaid results , as this stat proves.
Well in SOME cases it matters in others it doesn't....Mosely vs Forrest comes to mind. Vernon beat Shane in the amateurs and beat him in the pros. Sometimes it's just a style mismatch for one fighter.Quote:

Yes it is no rule on any pro outcome , which is my point , Fury and Price should be judged as pro boxers.Quote:

Tommy Hearns was more boxer than puncher in the unpaid ranks , as a pro he was a huge puncher , so again his amateur profile was nothing to do with how he matured into the pro ranks.
