Stick a fork in him.
The immediate rematch was a mistake, a big one and anyone who knows anything about boxing could have told you that. The main part you have to take away from the rematch is that David DID do better, he DID improve....not enough to get the win, but hell some fighters just have your number. He never fought Thompson in a smart manner, and honestly that might be the biggest failing he has...his brain.
I think Price can rebuild but it's going to take careful planning, intense training, and David is going to have to defeat his demons his chin, his stamina...he can overcome this, the ball is in his court we'll just have to see how he handles himself.
He's not ever going to be ready to fight a current champion, but he could and SHOULD be preparing himself for the eventual showdown with Tyson Fury

great iunterview -
You always said you were certain you would be world heavyweight champion. Are you still certain you will be?
No, I’m not certain, right now. How can I be after getting beat, twice, on the bounce from somebody who I was expected to beat. So I’d say now I’m more hopeful than certain otherwise I’d be lying. Ask me in three fights time when I’m back on the horse and I’m back in a bit of a winning routine and I’ll probably have the same belief I had in December last year. At this moment in time, though, I’ve got to get the confidence to get back up and get back to winning ways. That’s just being honest.
Price is so so likeable its such a shame he appears to be just a fringe world contender and not a challenger to klits etc as he clearly realises above - again which is why hes so likeable - he's not a complete dick!! I still think he would take Fury mind - Fury looked great vs kevin johnson but awful vs cunningham
If Price landed on Fury the way Cunningham did Fury wouldn't have gotten back up
I didn't mind so much the first fight, because in boxing (ESPECIALLY in the HW division), I don't care how tough you are, if you get caught with the perfect punch in the perfect spot, you're going down. It's wrong of us to expect any boxer to be immune to getting caught and KO'd.
But we do expect a fighter to have the warrior's spirit and iron will, so when you see a guy quit like Price did, that's much more damaging.

He can come back from this - but it's back to drawing board.
Wlad had a nightmare patch and look at him now.
Respect for going straight back in with Thomposon though
Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate

God is a concept, By which we can measure, Our pain, I'll say it again, God is a concept, By which we can measure, Our pain, I don't believe in magic, I don't believe in I-ching, I don't believe in bible, I don't believe in tarot, I don't believe in Hitler, I don't believe in Jesus, I don't believe in Kennedy, I don't believe in Buddha, I don't believe in mantra, I don't believe in Gita, I don't believe in yoga, I don't believe in kings, I don't believe in Elvis, I don't believe in Zimmerman, I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me!!
That' the brilliant thing for Price though. there's time for him to learn to fight in a smarter manner....Tyson Fury fights like a moron and always will and eventually that will lead to his demise as a heavyweight. I don't think Price is the best athlete in the world but I think he has the tools to be able to be a better boxer than he is right now.
The key right now is to dust yourself off, get some rounds in LEARN, DEVELOP, EVOLVE, and prepare for the eventual showdown with Fury as it will surely be on the way when Haye demolishes Tyson.
Try out Julius Long, Dominick Guinn, Sergei Liakhovich, Steve Cunningham, Alexander Dimitrenko, Fres Oquendo.....he can have some good fights and learn a lot before Fury comes calling.

Price has a very poor chin, this is not brains of Britain stuff he never had a great chin, comes
across as a nice guy, but I think he has reached his level.
Sorry to say but no World Champion, lets no kid our self's.
