You either have a hatred of Price, or a love of Fury, but either way it couds your judgement.

Rogan lost twice to Sexton. Why didn't Fury chase Sexton then? Rogan was 40 years old coming off an 18 month layoff and without a significant win in years. Let's not pretend he was a credible opponent

You defend Madalone as having been in with world class opponents and then slate Harrison and Skelton, who have both been in the ring with better opponents than Madalone.

Ignoring Price for a moment Ross, do you think Fury's career is progressing well in 2012? Who is next for him? A top fifty fighter maybe?
Fury is fighting who is available to him and who will actually sign to fight him. He is now big risk low reward. Eddie Chambers has turned down a date in December. Regarding Sexton, Fury beat the undefeated Chisora.

Furys momentum has slowed but he is still well ahead of Price who is learning nothing from these British journeymen. How much shit would Fury get if he was signed up to fight Skelton?

I like the way Fury is doing things. Hes going in with unbeaten fighters and not just British level journeymen. He does have a suspect chin but hes proven his toughness and has learnt how to cope. Price hasnt. There are bigger questions over Prices chin. Hes been over a number of times in the amateurs with headgear on and Fury was one of the fighters who put him down. Hes yet to fight anyone who will put him in any danger and I dont think thats a coincidence. Maloney is steering him as carefully as he can to a title shot and will not take a Fury fight as it would turn his fiter in to a laughing stock if Fury were to stop him.

If your opinion is that Fury has fought better opposition then thats fine , but it doesnt alter the fact that most of us think Price will KO Fury inside a round.
