I know ali was dropped by sonny banks and cooper but never stopped. Price may become world champ but can he be great? Or will he be brunoesque.....
Both Lewis and Wlad in recent times went on to become the best Heavyweight in the world despite stoppage defeats. I think Price was trying to catch up to Tyson Fury and maybe he should have won his Lonsdale belt outright first before jumping to this level. I think it was bad management putting him in with Thompson.
When you consider even price didn't think he was ready.
