Amir Mansour fought decently enough and Kelvin Price is big enough to give Amir a taste of what a top contender who is that big could do, but Price isn't the kind of boxer who is technically gifted or all that powerful. What we saw in the fight was a guy who couldn't move very well and who gave up his height, reach, and balance in order to try and land something get beat by a more sturdy fighter who was swinging wildly. And there are plenty of pros and cons to take from the fight for both fighters. Price showed a decent enough chin, he caught Mansour a few times without lunging in or falling in, but mainly he would bring his body behind his punches and it made him easier to hit. Mansour attacked well enough, but after a while he stopped moving his head, he did NOT look physically impressive in regards to how he handled Price's size, and Price gave him plenty of open windows to sink some big time power punches through and though he took advantage of those a few times I was not impressed with Mansour's power, nor his handspeed, but he kept at it and eventually wore Price down which tells me he's not as explosive of a power puncher as we have been lead to believe. Also I noticed Mansour slowed greatly as the fight wore on....He's attempting to be a pressure fighter and he's 20 years too late for that bus, as a slugger he's ok, but if he had his power but used defense better MAYBE he'd have a shot but he's not going much farther up the ladder without a loss that's just a FACT.
Jennings beats him, Wilder beats him, David Price beats him, Tyson Fury beats him.
I'm thinking Jonathan Banks and Seth Mitchell would be very difficult for Amir. He might could have a brawl with Chisora but I wouldn't expect him to win.
Andy Ruiz Jr should fight Mansour next
