I read on a comment on one of the news articles a while back that Haye used to totally outclass Price when they used to spar. I am not sure if this is true and thought maybe someone on here would know something. I remember the rumours going round Liverpool a few years back where that Price put Haye on his ass in the Solly boxing club.
I know Haye may have been world champion and Price just a novice but Price is not young so it is quite worrying if he is being schooled by Haye. No doubt Haye is world class but you would still expect him to be quite equal in sparring with Haye if he is going to be as good as they say he is.
Yes I heard was beating up people like Price in sparring. But sparring with Haye and Chisora has only made Price a better fighter
Haye would have been using Price for something specific, say the Valuev or Wlad fights. "Hey, Big Guy, throw some jabs and then try and smother David." Sparring is training. Training isn't a fight. Sparring tells us nothing. Jesus, I ain't ever been near a boxing ring and I know that. We did the same in my Kung fu days... if you know who your opponent is then you get training partners who can simulate that opponent.
Price turned pro with Hayemaker remember! Until Setanta went broke he only had the one fight and then went to Maloney who had used most of his "Olympic budget" on Sutherland and Jeffries
