Would David Price have a good chance of defeating David Haye?

Physically price has the goods but just being big doesnt mean a great deal (see Valuev). Im not suggesting any previous version of Wlad would have lost to Haye but the one who beat him was not only physically imposing, he was also very seasoned. Price doesnt have anything like the career experience Wlad has and I think he'd find the waters a little too deep, even at 8 foot 4 or whatever he is.

That said Price or Fury arent getting within a hundred miles of Haye unless either has a world title.

If he will, I expect Haye to beat him.

Hahaha. Similar to others, I've never seen Price fight (don't think he's ever been US-televised) so I have no idea of the outcome, but there is no reason why he would turn down one of the biggest possible paydays out there if it were offered to him, even if he was convinced he was going to lose.

I'm an American. I've seen Price fight multiple times. There is a reason why he would be smart to delay a Wlad, Vitali, or Haye fight: He has the potential to be the best fighter outside of those three. He shouldn't rush to face Wlad. Stay busy against Skelton. Fight a couple of legit lower top 10 guys that will at least make him raise his level and go rounds. Face Wlad early 2014. Wlad will be another 14 months older. Price will have more experience.

He isn't ready for that kind of challenge at this point, but if they up the competition over his next 3-4 fights, he should be ready and have a chance at winning. Him having a chance at winning in a bit, is a ton better than the rest of the other contenders. Povetkin goes sideways/backwards in his career after turning down a Wlad fight. Helenius gets his ass handed to him by Chisora. Chisora loses twice. Fury, Mitchell, Jennings, etc... I really don't see any fighters with more potential than Price in terms of challenging the 3 best HWs. No need to rush him.

Work in progress. He does have the good's though.

At the moment Haye flattens him give him time.
