    got beat by Bermane Stirvene in the amateurs. Doesn't bode well for Price.

    They don't call him David "No Chin" Price for nothing.

    That's why I think Fury will get the better of him if they fight. Price is technically superior but his chin is pretty dodgy.

    Amateurs-schmamateurs!

    Price would embarrass Stiverne if they fought now, Bermane really is a crap fighter.

    Price does have all the tools to become our Wladimir Klitschko imo.

    He has the size and the reach, all he needs is the correct trainer to implement it.

    as for the standing count he got, I suppose that's what you get when you just flick out your jab.

    Price gets massively hyped up on here, and he has unquestionable power, but i fear he will come unstuck once he faces a big puncher of decent ability. People might argue he's much improved since his amateur days, but his ability to take a punch remains in serious doubt. Would he be beaten by Stirvene in the pros today i wonder?

    It’s Price’s chin that will always let him down. He can punch, he can box, but he’s tentative because he’s worried about getting tagged. It’s fortunate for him then that the brothers will likely retire before Price would be facing them.

    The worrying thing is that he's still been doing that in the pros against some of his **** poor opposition.

    I'm fairly sure he's got more power than Fury.

    Stirvene definitely lacks boxing ability, but you can't deny he at least has real punching power. Price should win, but i wouldn't say it's a sure thing at this stage.

    I think too much is put on how fighters did against each other in the amateurs.

    You don't rank footballers by how well they played for their school side. Makes no sense.

    Stiverne does have very real power, I'd say if he connected then he would most probably knock Price out cold.

    But he's just too rubbish for that to happen IMO. I do concede that a Price win isn't a foregone conclusion, with his chin and Stiverne's power, but I'd be very confident of a David Price win (fairly easily too) if they ever did meet in the pro's.

    Stiverne is dreadful with a built up record. Perfect fight for Price, but still not certain that he'd win!

    If Cammarelle turned pro he'd probably make most of the 'prospects' look like the club fighters they are IMO.

    Spot on, Cammarelle is certainly a case of wasted talent.
