A better fight would be Butterbean v Haye.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Are you for real here? Fury hasn't actually been in with a live body other than Chisora. McDermott had him in all sorts of trouble twice, and Price destroyed him in 1. I'm not saying Price is decapitating world beaters, but he hasn't had as many fights as Fury and Fury fights some shockers. How can anyone justify fighting Martin Rogan? Rogan had been inactive for some time and yet Hennessy tells us it's a fight the fans had been begging for. Kevin Johnson is not a world class fighter. To be one, he'd have to throw punches. There is a reason Fury is carefully matched. Fury-Price is a 50-50 fight. I can't see either beating a Klitschko at this stage but I think Price would take Fury's head off.

Only time Butterbean and Prime have been in the same conversation was when he was ordering off the menu at some greasy spoon back in Alabama and asking for extra 'Taters on the side.

Rich Power, Marcelo Nascimento, Derek Chisora and Nevan Pajkic were all unbeaten when Fury fought them. Then you have a world rated opperator like Johnson. Those are all live bodys, unlike the dead ones that Price is unearthing.
Justify fighting Martin Rogan?..... He beat Prices last 2 opponents years ago
Also, before you mention that Sexton beat Rogan, this is what im on about by Price fighting progressively worse opponents.

ross,
Price wants the Lonsdale belt, which he (and I) hold in high regard. Agreed the competition he has faced are dross, but who else can he fight? Fury ducked him and vacated, so that leaves very few options.
If Price is still fighting dross after that, I'll wade in and criticise. Until then, don't hate the player, hate the game.

C'mon dude who had Rich Power, Nascimento and Pajkic fought? And saying Price's opposition getting worse, Fury went from Rich Power to a fighter with a negative record. I give him plenty of credit for Chisora because I din't think he'd win it but the others had padded, unproven records. At this stage, you can't say Fury is fighting world class opposition. Kevin Johnson has proved absolutely nothing at world level other than he can go 12 rounds as a punching bag that moves. I agree Price's last 2 opponents aren't great, but like you said, Fury fought Rogan after Price fought Sexton, and he fought Rogan after running from Price.

If Price and Fury do fight any time soon, I will bring this thread back up laughing my tits off because Fury will win. It wont be what people want to see because Fury is regarded as a clown who punches himself, with no power and no chin. He isnt the next coming of Tyson or Lewis but he will beat Price.
He is vastly more experienced now as a pro than Price and is still young enough that he is improving with each fight.
Who is the best opponent that Price has fought? There are probably at least 3 Fury opponents who could beat them comfortably.![]()
