    This would make for an interesting fight. Fury can take a punch and go 12. Price is a hard hitter but not sure he can go the distance. I'd like Price to go the distance aganst a solid hard puncher the full distance. To see how well he takes a hard punch to the chin and if he can last 12 rounds.

    Until then i'm reserving judgement.

    I beg to differ . He got dropped by a light punching novice dwarf .

    Getting back to topic imo this fight would be a tossup. Its evident that Price has 1 punch ko power but he may also have a chin similar to Shavers. Price has only been past 4 rounds once. Could Fury take him into deep waters where fuel may be a factor or does Price stop Fury with the first bomb he lands.

    I have no dog in the fight but I sure as shit would like to see it.

    I think Fury has enough savy to make it into the last 3rd of the fight.

    What Price can or can't do from there, at this point is anyone's guess.

    I thought fury looked pretty impressive at the start of the fight, he has improved since I watched him get knocked down by nevan whatever it was, I dont watch fury that much but he didn't look bad at all, best thing he managed to do v johnson was pace himself and not punch himself so out... so there are some positives for him even though it is hard to judge because johnson can be so bad sometimes..

    Johnson was beyond bad, he never came to fight, it was one of the worst displays from a HW I've seen in a few years....shameful!

    The reason Price hasn't gone the distance has a lot to do with the fact that he has great stopping power. He stopped Audley in less time than it took Haye, McDermott with none of the trouble that Fury took, those are hardly negatives. There is nothing to suggest his fitness would prevent him going 12 rounds and people going on about his chin because of one amateur fight years ago is getting a bit desperate now.

    That maybe true but until he goes the distance i ain't changing my mind. There is nothing to suggest that he will go the distance aswell. It can go either way! Unless you know something we don't all know? Like your his coach?

    Like Inuit said. If you ain't got the gass you ain't punching hard!

    Don't get me wrong these are only criticisms. I'm not being negative. Price comes across well in interviews. I don't dislike the fighter. He does have good stopping power. I do like the guy. But i ain't no fan boy. I keep a level head when watching a fight. But Audley. That was just a pay cheque. How did that test him atall. He needs an opponent that tests him. An ideal fight prime Vs prime Mike Tyson Vs David Price. Or an Even prime Foreman. See who has the greatest power.

    The issue that concerns me the most about team Fury is their reluctance to entertain a fight with Price. Forget the discussions about who they have fought, because history has shown that is no barometer for a future encounter.
    I like Fury, and he's taken some good, testing fights thus far, but if he is serious about facing Vitali or Wlad next year he needs to step up in class in a huge way in the future. Whilst people carp on about the likes of Chisora and Johnson as decent opponents, they are missing the point that however good they are in their own right, their fighting style is about as far removed from a brother K as it is possible to get.
    Fury has made a name fighting smaller, lethargic heavies who are not too heavy handed. In Vitali he has a busy power puncher of comparable size.
    What could Fury do to prepare? Find a technically adept, tall, rangy, power punching boxer who will be busy enough to push him. I can't think of any current heavyweight that would be better preparation than Price, which is why it baffles me that team Fury aren't chasing this to the ends of the earth.
    Fury needs Price.

    Fury is simply following the David Haye gameplan: only fight risky fights if he is facing a Klitschko. He won't face Price, unless he's cashing out, or the fight makes s$nse.

    From what I understand, if Vitali retires, which at 41, which there is a good chance of, the title will become vacant, and Fury will go against the winner of Bermaine Stiverne and Cris Arreola. That's a fight I'm more interested in seeing.

    A little harsh there on Haye. Who else should he have fought? He took on Ruiz and Valuev and won a strap. Both are a cut above the usual dross and have been world champions.

    I hope Vitali does retire, and I think Arreola against Fury is a cracking matchup.

    Price has done well for himself and I am impressed with his power. Price also comes across well I interviews whereas Fury does not at times. I still prefer Fury but think Price should take on the Klit brothers first in 2013. Fury has got time on his side and needs to get more confidence. Fury was in shape but he fought within himself and needs to be tested against someone who is trying to win against him.

    Fury or Price would beat Adamek.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
