    I think David Price could beat Vitali Klitschko. How can I say that? I think that because Vitali is getting old and Price is like a more youthful version of himself.

    He was at wlad's fight against mormeck. There is a vid online. He looked terrified when wlad koed mormeck and very impressed by wlad and immediately changed his timeframe for at least 18 months till he is ready.
    But he looks pretty good. But my money is on haye or chakhiev after the Klitschkos are gone

    he's a good prospect but the hype has gone through the roof since he beat Sexton who was tailor-made for him(feather fisted) he's yet to be hit on the chin. As for the Klitschkos he should forget about them, he's not ready....yet

    But he shows real potential hopefully he fights Fury but cant see it

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

    I would say that he has a lot of potential, he's a big heavyweight and carries dynamite in that right hand of his but has also shown to have great technical ability. He picks his shots well and seems to have very good timing.

    He has been making good progress, Sam Sexton was a fairly good fighter who like Strike has said gave Chisora a good fight and Price had a good showing. He showed good patience and feints in particular.

    The fight before that against McDermott was a good step as well, If I remember correctly McDermott gave Tyson Fury(a fighter who I'm not sold on at all but gets quite a lot of hype) a good fight and was generally known as being a very tough fighter. He was meant to be a good test for Price and bring him into the deep end but Price made mincemeat out of him.

    All in all in I think he's making good progress and if he continues the way he's going now I think we'll see him on the world stage within a year or two. Of course like others have said he is still a good bit away though and definely isn't ready for Wladimir. Vitali looked porr against Chisora and if he was in that kind of form against Price then I defintely think Price might have a chance.

    Price can KO Wlad already. Price has some serious power and Wlad's egg chin just wont hold up.

    Cammarelle is not a "light hitter". He's known for sparking guys out in the amateurs. Price can obviously be hurt, but I wouldn't say there's enough evidence yet to say if it's a liability for him or not.

    And Sam Sexton is very far from a can. He's a decent fighter with solid fundamentals who was only ever stopped once before and in nowhere near as emphatic a manner as Price managed.

    As for how far Price can go, I'd say very far, providing he isn't rushed into fights he isn't ready for. He has great fundamentals, fights tall and long behind a solid jab, and thus far looks to have unbelievable power.

    He'll probably be hyped to the high hills now, but make no mistake, he's a quality operator.

    He COULD go all the way. I hope to see him tested soon. I have become a fan because he is doing everything the right way. He is respectful, down to earth and exciting to watch.

    The only domestic fights I want to see him in now is Vs Fury, Chisora or Haye. Everyone else will be a walk over. if he is to fight some tomato cans, a few fights abroad would be a good to put his name out there.
