    I believe he is now the English heavyweight Champion, he beat Sam Sexton.

    Has only 13 fights mostly cans but the big guy is not a stiff. How is his jaw??? hear he got crushed in the Olympics by a light hitter???

    if this guy can take a puch he may get somewhere? guy is fit and can fight.

    thoughts opinions

    David Price is the real deal.

    It is a myth that he cant take a punch

    Very good. Simple as that really. He could very well be a future world champion.

    Great prospect.

    Typically, in the ESB world, he should already be taking on the klitschko's and other top ten contenders.

    But in the real world? He's definitely one to watch for the future.

    No way. Price said in 2 years he hopes to be ready, but not now.

    He is a very good prospect who is learning his trade and is knocking the domestic hw's over quick, but give him time to develop.

    He is 6-7 fights away from even thinking about a world title shot. Wlad may still be champ then but Vitali will be retired before Price gets to that level.

    Sam sexton n John McDermott are solid fighters who would give a good fight to povetkin and a few other so called top tier heavyweights..... He didn't just beat them he knocked them clean out with single shots!

    Price is a good prospect, but he's still unproven, untested and hasn't beaten anyone with a pulse yet.

    Either Klitschko destroys Price.

    He's big, but I was surprised when I saw a weigh-in video that he doesn't seem to pack a lot of muscle. He's probably better conditioned than Tyson Fury, but both could do with a real conditioning trainer. It's difficult to say much about him until we see him with a live body. He's got some things - but will those things still work once he steps it up.
