David Price - Is it over for him at world level?

Wow, so he did! I'm in India at the moment and just got back from the Himalayas, so no internet. Frankly I'm surprised the Charr fight wasn't big news here :huh

 

Rico, you ****witted, jaw-obsessed, ****-for-brains, pin-headed spastic... if there is a rematch clause, and IF Price wants the rematch, then he CAN enforce it in the UK and in the US and a good many other western countries.

As any Fury-Thompson fight would likely take place in the UK, nothing would be easier for Price than to enforce such a rematch clause.

And that's the case regardless of where you work out or who's towels you carry, or whose balls you wipe the sweat off, you semi-literate head-shrunken dimwit.

Have I given you a clue ?

Should I draw you a picture ?

 

Thompson would beat Price even quicker in the rematch, Thompson would make a beeline for that glass ear and end it in the first.

 

I was concerned before the loss that he was still inexperienced at quite an advanced age. Yes, he had some amateur pedigree but not enough to compensate for his lack of experience at pro level.

Now, having sufffered a very unexpected loss, it's hard to see where he'll end up. He has the size and some of the requisite tools to do reasonably well if managed rigfht, but that chin (ear, whatever) worries me.

In many ways, he and Seth Mitchell are at exactly the same point in their careers. It will be interesting to see of one, both or neither of them go much further. It's hard to say at this stage.

 

I tend to agree. I'm not a manager so it's hard to say how difficult it is to line up fights (and I'm sure it can be a very frustrating task sometimes) but for me most prospects just don't fight often enough.
Tyson may be an exceptional case, but look at how often he fought. He got a ton of experience in a relatively quick time frame. And he was young, which Price is not.

Prospects for me, should be fighting 8-9 times a year, with the schedule slowing down a bit after 2 years as a pro. But four fights a year on average? Nowhere near enough, imo.

 

They are not going to re-match Price under any circumstances. Sorry. Thompson has clearly explained in multiple interviews what they are going to do. He was not treated fairly by Price's management.

You need to read very carefully. Thompson spoke with Price in the ring right after the fight. There will be no rematch. Thompson is moving on. I believe Price is also he will be back to fighting British Domestic Bums like he was before.

 

you need to go back a few pages and learn to read. You are so far off it isn't even funny.

 

I've read the entire thread, dingleberry, and there's not an iota contained therein that would contradict anything I've already told you. You're just too much of a doofus to comprehend.

Read it slowly, several times.

 

One loss isn't the end for most fighters and Thompson, while clearly on the decline and overweight, is a pretty smart veteran. Normally a loss like this would be a setback but not the end. The problem with Price is that the shot wasn't a very big one and it seems he has huge chin problems.

His age isn't helping him either. He's pushing 30 and has had 16 pro fights and has only advanced to the level of beating 40 year old ex-fringe contenders like Skelton and Harrison. For a guy with only 16 fights thats not a bad level but for a guy going on 30 thats behind where he should be. He should be busier than averaging 4 fights a year for the next year or two.

I think Price becomes a top 10 contender and may grab a title once the Klitschkos let go of all of them. He still has some real offenesive tools and is a big heavyweight. I just don't think he's going to have the career some might have once thought he was.

 

Who gives a **** if there is a rematch clause or not, Price would be a ****ing fool to jump right back in with Thompson.

He'd be on his back in the first this time.

 

Price CAN comeback. My lord Wlad lost to bums early in his career and he came back. If Wlad fought like Price he would get koed all the time. After Wlad found out he could not take a punch he just fought scared with the John Ruiz style. Price fights like Wlad used to fight. But lets be honest Price has a egg ass chin.

 

Bump for Rico.

 

No of course its not, he just needs to regroup and work harder, and learn from his mistakes!! Look at Malignaggi for example, how many times did we hear is it over? Then he won his world title in dominating fashion.

 

I remember Emanuel Steward telling me years ago..."the thing about the HW division is a guy could lose a fight or 2 and then come back with a huge KO win and be right back in the mix"

If Price has the heart and the willpower, he can come back

 

People need to remember, rarely anyone in the heavyweight division will go undefeated. Marciano only did it because he was more or less fighting light heavyweights. Heavyweight fights are hard to predict as everyone has the power to possess life threatening punches.

Look at Wlad for example, his chin was like playdoe at one point...
