    In my opinion Fury knows his limits , so he figures he may as well get knocked out at Euro or World level , than Koed at British level.

    Fury will pick his fights very carefully from now on , Price will have to chase him.

    I completely agree. He'll wait for that big money fight at world level. To be fair to him, he'd be favored over most at Euro level, right?

    There's no real way to interpret vacating a title when the toughest opponent so far is the mandatory to mean anything other than avoiding unless there is a tougher/bigger fight awaiting elswhere. Therefore, let's see where Fury goes next.

    So if I'm reading this right then Maloney turned down £100,000 for Price to face Fury on C5 in the hope that he would get more money or "home advantage" from purse bids.

    Do we really think that Fury vs Price would make more than £100,000 for the challenger if it went to purse bids I find this hard to believe.

    In my opinion Price needs Fury more than the other way round and if anyone is ducking it's Price. I think he needs more time before facing Fury as I don't think it's the blowout everyone seems to expect. Maloney knows this hence he turned down the fight.

    I just can't see how Fury is ducking after he made a good offer to fight him and when it was rejected now wants to move onto world level. Remember he has a win over Chisora who is now fighting for a world title, why not Fury? He has every right to believe he is now above domestic class.

    Fury is taking some stick but like Wallace just said, Maloney doesnt really want the fight.

    Would Maloney put Price in with any of Furys last few opponents?

    Would Maloney have put Price in with McDermott after only 9 months as a pro? Does knocking out an inactive McDermott mean much? He was fat and is now a journeyman. When he fought Fury he was active, a few years younger and about 20lb lighter!

    Is this the same Fury who keeps telling us he could beat the brother grim right now ?
    Fury will fail very soon , he doesnt hit hard at top level and is easy to hit , his chin is also questionable at the top.
    It will be interesting to see who his next few fights are.

    I do wonder if Audley Harrison or God forbid David Haye will aim to grab these pathetic "titles"....I don't rate Fury much, but at the same time I wouldn't put it past him beating Price.

    2012, THIS, is Audley Harrison's year!

    He'll be going for the titles, there's nothing left for him other than retirement. He'll find a way to get himself in the frame.

    That's what I think as well.

    Before all this I thought Fury would take the challenge but I guess I was wrong.

    Manny Steward really rates Tyson Fury and so do I, however his head is all over the place and his last fight was his worst performance. He probably is avoiding Price for the time as he is not right for him to take him on now.

    I agree, look what happened to Gary Mason, it was a dangerous fight and Lennox fucked up Gary's eye basically ending his career.

    It's not worth either of them risking that sort of thing for a British title, when both of them could potentially fight for a Euro or world level belt later down the line. As much as I'd love to see it now, I think it would be best if they met later on.

    I suppose I have to agree, in the interests of both fighters. They may as well chase a Euro or Alphabetworld title independently in the hope that they both get a klit shot and make some real money. Sad but true.

    A fully fit and motivated Fury could beat Price, he needs to develop his skills and experience with a top trainer and he can then become a world champion after the brothers have retired.
