How great can a fallen fighter become?

[erics44]

I never really said much about price getting knocked out it was a shock but echoed his olympic defeat also, he came up against a world class fighter and was taken out. I have heard this that and it was illegal round the head bla bla from maloney and others. My question is has there ever been a great heavy who had a similar setback? 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 events e didn't think he was ready.

i thought he would win the fight, if they fought tomorrow i would think the same

boxers sometimes have stoppage defeats and quite often when they are stepping up

they learn from it and next time they step up they dont make the same mistake

its natural that people will start to shout about his weak chin now
