    Price may be the bigger puncher but they have fought each other in the amateurs and it was Fury who dropped Price.

    Iv only read about it and cant find any video but from what iv read in 2006 they fought and Price beat Fury 22-8 but Fury dropped Price. Fury was only 18 to Prices 23.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Price is good but I think fury can take more punishment and is the bigger puncher but would be a very very close fight would not go the distance anyway would deff end a ko ether way but fury gets my vote
    Neither can get my vote cos I like price and fury too much haha, both are great fighters who I both want to do amazing on the world scene, it does need happen soon though, who's next for Fury then?

    Price probably, he's got better amateur pedigree and more power, but Fury is younger and has mroe pro experience. I think eventually that will be a huge fight and with the styles of both guys you know they'll mix it up a bit. I don't think either are ready for a title shot though.

    Al Evans Koed Mike Tyson as an amatuer TKO 2.

    Mike Tyson as a pro - 50 wins 6 losses.

    Al Evans as a pro - 4 wins 6 losses.

    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.

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