David Price teams up with Adam Booth

The best bit of that article was this -

I was sparring with Mike Tyson at 21 and even though he would probably have beaten me

"Probably" have beat you Glenn?

You don't think it was 50/50 then Fenster , the rampaging unbeaten animal Tyson , v Glenn ?

I like Glenn but he's about as poor a "world" champion as there has ever been. Johnny Nelson would have slaughtered him let alone Tyson.

I remember Nelson trying to get a Tyson fight when he came over to fight Francis. I couldnt believe he actually wanted it. Obviously a nice big pay day and if you are a cruiser weight losing to Mike Tyson, whats the big deal?

The big deal is Nelson fighting a prime Tyson is like saying " yea I will eat a live genade for a million , yea no problem"

[Fenster]

Remember Francis got about £50,000 from The Mirror just for having their name on his soles. Guys Like Nelson probably never got paid a purse as big as that.

Johnny Nelson would have done a runner like he did with De Leon and stunk the place out. Thankfully Tyson did not take the fight with him.

How old is Price just wondering because thats a huge factor in wither he can come back or not. Tony Thompson and a old one at that kick his ass back to back with not that much trouble it seems. In fairness i think Thompson is underrated he only ever lost to Wlad and no same in that really.

To be fair Thompson lost his last fight to Kubrat Pulev.
I think Price is 29 to answer your question.

[Fenster]

To be fair to Price he knocked Thompson down bad in the second fight. Another night with a different ref and Price might have a TKO 2 over Thompson. However, obviously the reality is another stoppage loss (worse than the first one IMO because of the way he bottled folded under pressure).

I do think Price could KO an awful lot of fighters , as well as lose to some.
He hits very hard indeed.
Lets face it big puncher weak chin , is always exciting.

[Fenster]

Price has a weak chin but is even more weak inside the head. He's probably one of the biggest punchers in the world, but he can't handle taking it.

He has a punchers chance against anyone.

I agree

I agree

That mental shit can be fixed, we'll just have to see if David is strong enough to do it.

I have no desire to ruffle the feathers of thee local British establishment but I kind of think Booth is a bit of a celebrity trainer. Does he really have the boxing savvy to teach Price from the feet up and use his size w/o keeping his chin the air? Imo if Price is serious he should hire a trainer from across the pond. If that means living there and sacrificing then so be it. Drastic times call for....

If Manny Steward was still around he'd be the 100% best option.

Booth will be looking to establish himself as a proper trainer and setting Price on the right track will certainly help him. Booth thinks outside the box and he can offer Price some different methods to change his focus. Also Price has Haye as a promoter and let's be honest Haye isn't going to box much longer at all so they'll want to feed Price a few guppies and build his confidence back up. He's got time. Booth offers loads of confidence and good conditioning as well, say what you will about the man he never brings an out of shape fighter to the ring.

I have my doubts about Booth as a trainer, but I think the pairing is quite good both he and Price have little to lose at this point.

His mental attitude can be fixed, if hes strong enough?



If he's not strong enough (everyone is presuming you mean in the mind, or MENTALLY), that can be fixed though yeah

[FinitoElDinamita]

He should fight wilder.
