Career advice for David Price

[p4pking]

I don't think Wlad was mentally defeated because Brewster got up, as much as he was already starting to gas out at that point. If anything there isn't a lot to take from that fight about Wlad, I think for some reason he just didn't have much of an engine on the night.

Tony Thompson was a damn fine fighter the first time Wlad fought him, but he's old and slow now and there are a number of other guys who could beat him. You obviously have a vested interest in his standing these days, as Wlad fought him within the last several years so he still must be defended at all costs I admire your persistence, but it's quite thinly veiled given everything you post about the HW division is directly tied to a Klitschko one way or another. Price losing to Thompson has nothing to do with Wlad, everyone knows he's great already just take a load off.

Who would beat Thompson? Name me 5 heavyweights outside the Klitschko's that would beat him.

[p4pking]

In my opinion, David Haye, Malik Scott, Bryant Jennings,possibly Pulev, Povetkin or even Odlanier Solis would all at least have a great chance to beat him. I think Thompson just looks so slow now, and he's not going to have an easy time hurting most fighters like he did Price, the man is not a hard puncher for his size.

I disagree with everyone but I'll let you slide on Pulev.

Haye throws 1 punch at a time, fights from distance, and has shown he's unwilling to mix it up with a heavyweight that big. UD Thompson (in the US of course). I just really don't like Haye vs anyone he doesn't have a great shot of knocking out. He's got gobs of talent but never has used it properly...that's what he gets for having some fruitcake spin class instructor as his trainer. Haye should have hired Freddy Roach

Scott is pure garbage

Jennings is young and quick, but has he ever had to open up a fighter like Thompson? Until he does I'll side with Tony.

Povetkin is one dimensional and a flake...you'll see

Solis is fat and looks for 1 punch too

Tony Thompson is like the tortoise in the fable the Tortoise and the Hare...he's got a slow and steady workrate, an excellent defense, and he wins rounds. Hard to beat that, it's very difficult to beat that

Actor. He can play Lennie small type characters from Mice and Men.

Price & Thompson would BOTH demolish Mansour...FACT

Your are delusional, pal. Thompson has too much experience on his side for me to say that Mansou would beat him but Price? Id bet my house on Mansour to knock him out within 6 rounds..

Price isn't even on the level of Michael Grant.

[imp]

Currently its fury as i said.
Everytime he gets in the ring I think his trousers will fall down or he gets knocked out.
Then the guy sings after a ko which i find quite amusing.
I dont want him to fight haye next as theres alot more other fights he can entertain us with.

You really think Malik Scott is garbage? Why? I thought he performed very well in his last fight, despite the result, which in my opinion, was wrong. I also think he beats Derek Chisora in his next fight. I'm not suggesting he beats Wladimir Klitschko or anything crazy like that, but I think he would beat a lot of the other top ten heavyweights.

[El Kabong]

You think Malik Scott is good enough to beat Tony Thompson? He got a SD vs Glavkov and you're telling me he would beat a guy who is a top 5 heavyweight? He can't punch with any power, he's another guy who likes to fight on the outside which is Advantage Thompson. And the guy just hasn't fought quality opponents hence his record being what it is.

Scott could very well beat Chisora but Del Boy is mental

I thought Scott beat Glazkov by a good number of rounds regardless of the verdict. Did you see the fight?

With regard to Thomspon, if he comes in the same shape he has against Price twice now, Scott jabs to a decision if he gets out of the first five rounds.

Career advice for David Price.

Retire.

[Hulk]

My advice would be not to fight Thompson anymore

Barrera lost to Junior Jones twice.

Mosley lost to Forrest twice.

Forrest lost to Mayorga twice.

These were higher level opponents and the losses came at more advanced stages in these guy's careers, but their careers were far from over.

Price can come back I'd imagine.

Would you not think a change in management would be a good choice for Price.
Emulating Lennox or having him as a trainer is not going to work.
He could join Wlad's camp but would he be more than a sparring partner.
Agree with the psychological part, greatly overlooked aspect in boxing.

For me I was surprised they threw Price back in with Tony so fast, throw the cubs in with the lions.

Price has a chance against Fury, but "humiliate" him in 12-18 months, not going to happen.
Then you have to consider the opponents Fury will be facing and improving in a years time.

2 KO losses in succession will of damaged his earning potential especially if fighting against journeymen, and I think despite his losses he will have a hard time matchmaking against other prospects.
He needs to get back in the ring asap, build confidence, develop his own style, not copy Lennox.

I think he would absolutely smash Wilder, after he gets back into winning ways, then maybe Chisora before he thinks about Fury.

Not the time to talk about hanging up the gloves yet.

Each one of those fighters improved and at least went the distance in the rematch. They didn't get knocked out again
