    So Price KO'd Mcdermott in devestating form in 1 round,

    Fury had 2 fights with Mcdermott 1st one he arguably lost 2nd one he got a late stoppage win,

    So Fury Vacated the belts after seeing Mcdermott get destroyed by David Price in 1 round.

    Look at the dates Fury defended the british commonwealth belts late 2011-11-12,
    David price destroyed John Mcdermott January 2012, what happens next Fury Vacates belts for his next fight april 2012.

    Fury fought McDermott as a 20/21 year old BOY.

    Price fought McDermott as a 29 year old MAN.

    That's the difference.

    Fury also faced McDermott after being a pro only 8 months.

    Price was a pro for 3 years when he faced McDermott!

    This was also a few years after Fury had beaten him.....

    I'll tell you one thing, I know Fury learned more from his fight with McDermott than Price did with his. Fury turned pro at such a young age, he had to rely on boxing ability rather than strength, where as Price was the opposite.

    When they actually fought each other and Fury was only 17 it was Price who hit the deck in that fight and it was only a 3 rounder...

    Since when is 20-21 year old a boy?

    Mike Tyson is heavyweight champion of the world at 20.

    Why does anyone need to make excuses, just look at what a train wreck Prices career is compared to Fury getting a shot at the champ.

    Fury would not have got beaten by Thompson at that stage of his career and certainly not by bad knockout twice.
