David price..

[IamInuit]

Nobody is being harsh. A series of questions were asked. They were answered truthfully. It’s not my problem that some of his fans might be as delusional as he is. I'm sure when he's sitting there eating through a straw that someone will say "poor guy but at least he was doing what he loved to do"

Does anyone really believe that he survives the British scene? If we had a tourney where would he place? How many times would he be planked?

No it’s not a bad gig to be a gatekeeper or fight on a domestic level in all cases but they have to be looked at individually. Look at Mayorga. I'd bet he's the richest gatekeeper in the history of the sport.
But he had the grit and the chin. Not everyone gets a ribbon. Not all 7 footers make good fighters by default. I have no desire to see Dempsey/Willard over and over again or David living on his back. If he chooses to continue then they might want to look at getting some ad placement on the bottom of his feet.

Harrison is not a fair comparison. He actually had talent and was an exceptional boxer. Trouble is he was mentally vacant from the proceedings and like most gold medalists was a spoiled brat before he had his first fight. I went right along with Lennox when he said Audley was his replacement.

Price does not have the skill, speed or chin to keep him safe. He's the kind of thick individual though that may need an intervention.

sounds a bit harsh to me

hes lost to 2 drug cheats, that's it

They may have been drug cheats, but they were also not great HW's by any stretch and he lost in terrible fashion. He just doesn't appear to be good enough at boxing to do anything much, it's not harsh to say at all.

Mayorga was once much more than a gatekeeper. He was a world champion and beat some top fighters. Agreed on his endless amount of pay days after that though.

Price was just a prospect who never quite transitioned into contender.

Not sure he will actually want to come back, so the question may be academic.

Hell of a setback suffered and it would take a strong man to get over it, if it was another sport then maybe, but not boxing with all these wannabee rich promoters and dodgy alphabet committee members trying to exploit anything resembling a vertical 16 stone plus fighter.

Bad luck David, hope you do well elsewhere.

If Price had the mental strength of Amir Khan he'd be awesome. Khan isnt smart dont get me wrong. But he's an ignorant fucker and no amount of chinning is going to stop him from thinking he's the dogs bollocks.

If Khan had of gotten chinned a second time against Prescott early doors he still would have thought he was the bollocks and had success in his career. Fortunately someone with half a clue made sure there was no chance of that happening. Someone should have done the same for Price and given the Thompson rematch the swerve.


Price is damaged goods and is not going to turn things around. Which probably suits a lot of people out there because I'd still give him a shot of chinning Fury, Joshua, Wilder, Martin and so on and so forth. Only a small shot, but a shot nonetheless.
