    I'd say he'll try and break from Maloney too. The issue is who does he go with? Hearn I'd say would be the front runner but only on a short term deal.

    I agree that stamina issues can be fixed and alot of that was to do with nervous energy imo.

    But i still doubt wether he can ever get to the top, he basically quit againts Thompson.

    At least with Fury i think he will keeep going until hes snoring on the canvas

    Price has very good power. I think he will get a title shot eventually if he keeps beating soft touches but he needs to fight a name.

    I think he needs to face an opponent who is going to give him rounds next but he is best off just doing a 10 rounder because I seriously doubt his ability to do 12.

    I agree Terry, Price has a suspect heart and virtually no ring IQ, both things important when you step up the levels.

    I read an interview a couple of weeks back where he said his promotional deal was about to end, so a move is likely. Even if Price wanted to stay loyal to Maloney there's no guarantee Frank still wants to be involved. He's not exactly in love with the game at the moment.

    Yep i honestly think Price would fold if he fought an up for it Dereck Chisora.

    The most vital thigs Price lacks you cant work on in the gym

    Yep, IMO he doesnt have the heart, good luck to him though love him to prove me wrong.

    Good move.

    His trainer made a complete hash of him. No stamina, **** defence, no ring IQ.

    Makes sense,Lance.Would it be viable for him to drive to Manchester every day,though?I guess the Smiths do.

    Don't think a 40-50 minute drive would bother anyone wanting to improve there game and progress as a fighter.
    I think Price would benefit going abroad for 6-18 months then return to the uk.
    Think Farnell would be a good move for Price in the long term, but would he have to sign with F.W , I thought all Arnie's fighters are contracted with ******?? (Could be wrong though)
