Re: David price..is he still a contender?
Fury is a much better boxer than Price for gods sake! He has real skills and puts together decent combinations.
Fury has defeated better opponents too and not lost to ones he should have beaten either.
About the only thing Price has on Fury is a more powerful punch but as we have seen it is next to useless for him when he fights someone who actually can box!
On chin, Fury might go too if he cops a big shot from a big hitter but I bet the farm he is a lot more durable than fucking Price!
Price is the weakest of the supertall boxers imo.

Tyson fury reckons he's a big stiff tin man idiot.
Re: David price..is he still a contender?
I think Price has world class power , he could well KO anybody he hits , as we have seen his own whiskers are fragile , but for me that makes him exciting.
Re: David price..is he still a contender?
Many boxers have world class power. Not many of them ever make world class boxers!

Bit like khan..minus khans power..lol
Khan at least has a heart.
Tam said Fury called Price the "Tin Man" and he's right!
Price doesn't have a heart. He can have all the power in the world but with out the fortitude for battle its pointless. Like a battle ship with a gaping hole in the hull.
It wasn't his shitty chin that let him down in the Thompson rematch it was his stomach for a fight. He's another Audley Harrison. Put him in Prize fighter in the 3 round format and he will probably be fine. Put him in with anyone good over 10 rounds and he will shit himself at the thought of having to fight through pain.
Re: David price..is he still a contender?
He never was a contender... probably never will be a real contender.
Re: David price..is he still a contender?
Eager to see how he looks in Denmark against Pala and Lee also against Horta. Not sure why they are 8 rounders but whatever. Undercards are on now.
Re: David price..is he still a contender?
He could be a contender if matched carefully , but he is a rock em sock em , KO or be KOED type which is exciting.
Re: David price..is he still a contender?
Dropped in the first but won in the third. That will do his confidence some good that he can come back from a knockdown.
Re: David price..is he still a contender?
Pala managed to drop Price in the first round. I haven't seen the video yet but if Price can be dropped by that level of opposition theres no way his defense will stand up to the higher reaches of the heavyweight division.

Kinda forearmed over, not really a punch. Sadly he got up like he'd been chinned and hurt when he should have got up laughing at being knocked over rather than knocked down if you get my meaning.
The demons still firmly there.
Re: David price..is he still a contender?
He needs to assert himself a little more. Use his height and weight to his advantage. He's trying to jump out of the way of of Pala's wild swinging about there. Looks very unprofessional. Set a distance with the jab, smother when opponents get close. I dunno but he looks like he fears for his chinny chin chin a liitle too much. :p
Re: David price..is he still a contender?
That video, man Price has nothing at all going for him. Just a punch and a long range. Skillwise he is about as fluid as a piece of construction equipment and timid as a fox.
Re: David price..is he still a contender?
Caught Price off balance.... if anything, it shouldn't even have been called a knock down. But since Pala hit him, a bit of a forearm, you have to call it a knockdown. It happens. Great come back ko from Price...
