    As far as this topic goes, that is irrelevant as he has sparred with K2 as well.

    it was relevant to the conversation. And if the post is about price doing better than haye would against the klitschos why would how he got on against haye in sparring not be anyway relevant

    At this stage - no. He has the physical attributes to be a threat, but he doesn't quite have the experience needed yet.

    I would guess that Vitali will be gone by the time Price faces enough top ten fighters to be ready and Wlad may be on the decline by then. A wlad-price match up a few years down the line couldbe interesting, if he continues to progress.

    They seems to be bringing Price on slowly, so I can't see him taking a fight with K2 yet... Saying that, Chisora was deemed worthy by them after barely having over 10 bouts, so you never know.

    So far, so good as far as Price goes.

    In this era, particularly amongst Heavyweights Price's age is no issue. He had a solid amateur career, and has shown continued improvement as his career has gone on. And although he has had too few fights IMO, he has reached a level you would expect in his four year career, that of domestic champion and matching up with fringe top ten fighters.

    The brothers Klitschko are not getting any younger, and there is no real talent on the horizon that looks like theu can fill the power vacuum left when the Klitschko's go. Thus Price just might be in the right place, at the right time.

    The only real thing I have against Price at the moment, is that nagging doubt about his chin...

    Haye presents no threat to anyone.

    Impossible to say with Price. All we know is that he's a big guy with a big punch who can knock out flabby journeymen half his size who look like their training camp was based in a fish and chip shop. Oh, and Audinary Harrison.

    Until he faces some kind of test, the jury is very much out.

    I think that is pretty much what everyone has said , - so far so good.
    As for the guys he is fighting looking like they train in a chip shop , well didnt Tyson fury look like that for 18 of his 20 fights so far ?
    And Fatty McDermott was robbed against Fury in the first fight.
    Price looks the part , and hits hard , but let just wait till he gets tested. At least Price comes in to the ring in fine shape.

    Speaking as a former fan of the heavyweight division, I'm anxious to see what Price can do against tougher opposition. He and Deontay Wilder seem to be following parallel paths so far: huge power, size, and seemingly limitless potential. Price seems the more polished of the two.

    At this point I just want to see someone..... anyone.... give Wlad a true test. That fighter's gonna have to be big, powerful, and hopefully not step into the ring shitting his pants. Price has a slight height and reach advantage over Wlad, so that's a great starting point.

    Hopefully, by the time either Wilder or Price are seasoned enough and ready for the big time, Wlad will still be around and willing to take on such a challenge.
