What a load of shit! Fury has fought better and more varied oposition than Price at heavy ans is about 7 years younger!
He may not be the most skilled or talented fighter in the world but he is trying a damn site harder than someone like Price is to get to the top by learning. Take the McDermott fight for instance, Fury fought only 8 months after turning pro, Price had to wait 4 years before his management thought it was a risk worth taking.
I cant remember exactly what it was Fury said about Price and it was only a fw weeks ago but it was something along the lines of Price being babysat by his management and its spot on. Fury has taken a few risks already, like Chisora, McDermott so early on and the unbeaten fighters and bangers that werent known quantities before he beat them. Manwhile, Price is ony just getting round to taking on McDermott and Sexton and is now facing Harrison who may well just spark him. Check out Prices fight with the italian that Joshua beat in the olympic final. He has some jelly legs.

Price made his debut 3 years ago. The fight with McDermott was due to be made in 2011 but Price got injured. He eventually beat him after less than 3 years as a pro, and as it was for a vacant title he had little choice in opponent. The winner was supposed to face Fury, who vacated the belt and decided not to fight Price.
And please don't put too much stock in amateur results. I thought Camarelle beat Joshua, for the record.
Anyway, all of this is beside the point, as the article is about Fury's next opponent, and the list is poor.
I wasnt saying Joshua deserved the win or even that he is better than Price but now I come to think of it, he did take ounches that Price couldnt.
Price isnt going to the top, his chin will let him down somewhere along the line.
