Career advice for David Price

[El Kabong]

Are you Price's bank manager or David Price himself or didn't you just watch the fight ?

Comparing Price's defeat to Wladimir Klitschko's is not accurate as Klitschko had already won the WBO heavyweight title when he lost to Brewster and Sanders.

I can't think of any fighter of note that has had back to back defeats ON HIS WAY UP and gone on to achieve anything in boxing.

Honestly. I know you are trying to spin something positive out of this but getting beat by Tony Thompson twice ? Well that speaks for itself really.

#1 No, I never even really took time to form an opinion of whether or not I like David Price, all I know is he's an easier guy to like than Haye or Fury.

#2 Sure Wlad already had a high pedigree having won a title before, but 15 fights in and fighting one of the better heavyweights out there is nothing to make fun of. Thompson has been avoided for a large majority of his career and for good reason. He's a 6'6 southpaw, with top defense, and a solid chin. Wladimir Klitschko is the ONLY guy to KO Tony Thompson and the only other loss Thompson has besides the 2 to Wlad was waaaaay back in his 5th pro fight. So that says something about Thompson. I'm comparing the mental/psychological state of Price to the Wlad that lost to Brewster and it's a spot on comparison.

#3 Let's see back to back defeats on the way up? Hall of Famer Carmen Basilio lost back-to-back fights 3 different times in his career before he went on to win the welterweight and middleweight titles. I'm certain there are other cases of this.

#4 Tony Thompson is a very good heavyweight, he's criminally underrated. I'd favor him over pretty much anyone not named Klitschko.

Carmen Basilo ? Wow. Good research. You know your S**T. Where you did you dig that up ?

But did Carmen Basilo have back to back defeats on his way up ?

Really ?

According to boxrec.com the back to back defeats he had were in his 27th fight - Hardly on the way up. But I suppose a fighter had to fight a lot more on his way up in them days as world title shots were harder to get than they are now. You had to earn your stripes but nevertheless I will give you that.

The problem is I didn't really explain myself

David Price has had KO back to back defeats

My point (And I didn't really explain it properly) is that there is not a fighter in the history of boxing that has had KO back defeats ON THERE WAY UP and gone on to achieve anything in boxing

There is a challenge for you my friend
