That's the way the heavyweight division is, if you don't have a chin you're not going to make it in the heavyweights. There is no hate or malice in this post, Price can hang on as long as he can and make some money but he will never hold a major belt.
He is no Wald and would we want another one if he was?
Hold on...
How many times has Wladimir been knocked out? 3?
Hes also been dropped in other fights.
It is still possible to make it with a bad chin. Look at Khan against Maidana.
Its the heart for a fight. It looked improved in Prices last fight and that will do him the workd of good. Fighters need tests to learn.
I dont care what anyone says regarding the Fury v Haye outcome. Its only opinions not facts.
The fact is, Haye pulled out twice and will comeback at some point.
It was a big purse, it was SO EASY but a little cut and he pulls out, even though it was only going to last a round.
Maybe you all should have persuaded Haye it was easy money and an easy guaranteed win because he certainly didnt think so;)

Lets wait and see if he is all that.

Once Wlad goes he is still a contender. Apart from Wlad is there any heavyweight you think would be stronger then a 1/5 fav against him?

If they were to fight today, Pulev, Fury, WIlder, Arreola, Perez, Jennings, and Chisora would be pretty big favorites against him..
Perhaps 5/1 is a bit too much but either way Price would be a sigificant dog..

I think Id still have him as fav over Chisora and probably Perez.
Re: David price..is he still a contender?
Ok sure I've definitely overstated Haye's case there last night but the @ross 's example of Haye vs Thompson was not a proof of anything. Haye was greenish and Thompson whilst aged was a veteran boxer. And this represents his only other career loss, but most importantly! Haye HIMSELF was a Cruiser when he lost to this opponent!!!

Who did hebeat at heavy that makes him such a great heavyweight?
Chisora? Fury did that when Chisora was unbeaten and Fury was a novice.
Valuev? A lot of people thought he lost.
Thats it!
Thats his achievements at heavy.
Cruiser?
What did he do at cruiser? Lost to Thompson.
Re: David price..is he still a contender?
I swear these Brits overrate the shit out of David Haye, it makes me sick.
Exactly Ross, WTF has Haye done at HW that makes him so great..
And some of ya are still flapping your gums about how he'd knock Fury out etc haha .. is that why he faked multiple injuries to bitch out of a fight fully knowing how he'll lose out on a 5 million dollar payday?
Some said Haye backed out because he had bigger money fights lined up.. Well which fight does he have scheduled?
Where the hell would he get more than 5 mill? He already fought like a hoe against Wlad so nobody wants to see that again.
He could have made millions by fighting an " easy " opponent like Fury yet he just punked out..

Haye never offered Thompson the rematch. He didn't want it, just like he didn't fancy the Fury fight when the reality dawned on him that his ego was about to be crushed.

Hasn't beaten anyone, never will

eh eh!!!
Re: David price..is he still a contender?
I can understand the criticism of Haye, I can.
But I personally don't think Fury and to an even greater degree Price stand any chance against Haye.
First the cut, that was a serious wound man just days before the fight. He could not have fought with that under any circumstances. Any brush would have opened it up. I don't think Haye would have liked to be stopped by Fury on the premise he could not control bleeding in a fight he would surely be winning.
No he has not had an extensive HW record, true! But considering his career overall it's pretty impressive.
I mean you can see that the guy is slick as oil and hits like a piston as well and fast.
Arreola would be a far tougher opponent for Haye than Fury and as for Price..
Well LOL that would just confirm Haye as the giant killer he aspires to be.
My main criticism of the guy is that he is inactive and talks a lot of bullshit!
I think he fought a tactical fight against Wladimir. He gave Wladimir his hardest challenge yet since Samuel Peter and made him miss all night. Sure he did not deliver on his promises and fought just looking to land a money shot but against Wladimir what more do you expect.
