    Who you guys think is the best current HW in the UK right now, not who has the most potential but who is the best at this point in time. Personally I'd still rate Haye at the top though Chisora and Price push him very close.

    1. Price
    2. Haye
    3. Fury
    4. Chisora
    And when you look at the list like that , it makes for a good read , providing silly bollocks hangs around after he beats Chisora !!!

    David Price is looking the part right now

    Jet ,

    Just askin mate , but how does Haye deal with Price ???

    How is this even possible ???

    Ask yourself what Price would have done to any of Haye's opponents at HW , and then re evaluate Haye's performances

    Haye won a WBA Title against a terrible terrible black stain on the sport of boxing !!! and defended it twice against Ruiz and Audley Harrison , at 2 & 0 Price could of acheived that , and thats not a joke :deal

    Im not knocking Haye and what he's done , i simply do not believe what he achieved is a) actually a great deal and b) nothing Price could do right now in devastating fashion

    I'd go with that too, not sold on Fury at all yet. Price is good but he has a bit more to do to be put above Haye at this point.

    It's got to be Haye, at least for now.

    If we were to forget about Haye and Delboy's fights against the Klitschkos, then I would have picked Haye without a doubt.

    However, I think those two fights told us a lot, and I would have to say Chisora is probably the best at this time. Price may have more potential, but I'm not yet convinced.

    More or less the same way he fought Wladimir, only with more conviction and more offense. Also, Haye can use the jab to disrupt Price's, something that worked for the brief moments he tried it on Wladimir. If Haye had utilised the jab more he may have been able to buy himself the time and space to put together better combinations. Price is open to the overhand right, Haye's favourite shot, and Price's power would be somewhat negated by the fact he'd never get set to throw bombs against somebody with Haye's head movement. To compare Price with Wlad is too much too soon.

    Price hasn't got Wladimir's knack for grabbing hold on the inside and smothering his opponent, and his jab and left hook off of it aren't as effective as Wladimir's. Price also looks a little uncomfortable when he backpedals, whereas Wlad is quite springy on the back foot. Wlad also has decent 12 round stamina, bags more experience, a better defense, he's physically stronger IMO, and is also a more careful operator.

    To put it in perspective, Wladimir crushed Jean Marc Mormeck in his last fight in a similar style to how Price just beat Sam Sexton. The difference in class between Mormeck and Sexton tells the story IMO. I'm no Haye fan, but I think stylistically his hit and run style would give Price fits at this stage of his career. He's never been past 7 rounds and he's never fought above domestic level.

    Haye's toe injury would flare up if he were to face Price...

    I don't see how people can rate Delboy so much higher than Fury when Fury beat him recently, although it wasn't the best version of Chisora surely that counts for something.

    Fury was obviously better than Delboy the night they fought, but since then Delboy looks like he has improved, whilst Fury seems to be treading water a bit.

    Perhaps a rematch would give us more definitive idea of where they stand.
