After Wilder's devastating KO last night would you rate him higher than Price now?

    After last night you could make an argument, yeah, but IMO Wilder is a KO waiting to happen, too.

    About the same really, only difference is that Wilder hasnt been caught yet. In fact scrap that at least Price was KO'd whilst trying to make progress, Wilder has been fighting at a low level for a few years now, it's got to be Price despite the defeat if only for the level of opposition he's faced.

    Price has one of the worst Chins I have ever seen. Disgraceful.

    Wilder will get Price'd as soon as he steps up as well, both hype jobs - and eventually hype jobs are always exposed by good solid pros.

    Chins matter. Glass Jaws exist in Boxing and we WILL discuss them on ESB.

    Fury is up next........

    Price was never dropped at the level Wilder has been dropped at and Wilder has never fought against someone who's Thompson's level. Price for me.

    **** no.. The same thing that happened to Price will eventually happen to Wilder which is why his management are feeding him stiffs before he gets cashed out. At least Price has faced decent competition unlike Wilder, he should be ranked much higher. I don't even rank Wilder in the top 50.. He hasn't done anything worth noting.

    Price has half the fights Wilder does and he was being moved much quicker as well... So what im saying is that even though Price was exposed last night he still has achieved more than Wilder at this point.

    I do actually agree, its very rare for anyone to move forward in their career with a glass jaw, i dont think Fury has an iron jaw but i dont think its glass?

    I think the amount of fights told us all we needed to know a about his Fragile Glass Jaw. I mean Wilder and Price came out of the same Olympics. Not saying Wilder is anything special (he clearly has a Glass Jaw also) but Price was coddled at British Domestic level. Told me all I needed to know.

    I have always said I thought Fury would smash Price. He is certainly more battle tested and fought better fighters. He was put down by a feather fisted puncher though.....

    Can those who keep saying that Price has a glass jaw, please relook at the tape and then re-evaluate your opinions please.

    He wasn't hit on the jaw...
