Wlad might have seemed like a similar case early on, but even then he clearly had some more polished offensive tools, more commanding jab and control of distance etc. Price is more like Vitali if he were chinny and not quite as good or something, it's probably just not going to work.
    Everything can be improved except that chin. The overwhelming opinion is, you are born with a good chin or you don't have one just like a KO punch. There are things you can do to make small improvements with both, but just like everyone is saying Price isn't outstanding anywhere so get out now.
    If you like David Price you should be hoping he stays out of the ring!

    I don't care what he does, but I'm not sure how much other things can really be improved once you are a grown man who has been fighting so long, I think that is what gets overlooked. Obviously you can tweak things, but if you fundamentally don't have the style or physical tools to be great, by all means retire. Lennox and Wlad are the recent examples used, but in Lennox's case he probably just got caught or undertrained for a couple of fights in an otherwise great reign where he always showed the kind of tools you want to see in a big man. Wlad was offensively good enough to develop a style where he could just hold and get away with it for years against average opposition(imo). Price? I just don't see the ability to begin with, he's always going to be hittable.

    His punch gives him a shot and his fights will be exciting but that major chink in the armor will always hold him back.
