    Yeah, he is, it's a shame. A man who can punch like that letting a shorter opponent walk him down, crazy. He should have been teeing off on his temples. The way Price panicked in the first few seconds was uncomfortable to see. Don't think he has a Lonsdale outright so if they can find a way to get him a fight for that - avoiding Joshua - they should do it.

    If he throws that pawed rangefinder could it be the end of Wilder's title reign?

    It was over the moment Thompson KO'd him for a 2nd time.

    He definitely could, if he doesn't get hit first.

    Not over, but he won't ever be anything better than Euro champ at most, even that is unlikely.

    Price would need a miracle to be able to compete at the top level.... He would need a good trainer who cares about him, and is willing to dissect him and rebuild him from the ground up. Someone like Steward I think would have been very good for him... Steward was able to rebuild Wladamir, and turn him into one of the greatest heavyweights ever. Only problem is Price doesn't have 1/10th the talent that Wlad had, he's too fragile and panics under pressure. His jab is non-existent(a must for a tall heavyweight) his footwork stinks, etc... All he really has is that big right cross... He's actually improved his defense a bit, but when you can't take a shot at heavyweight that really doesn't matter. He doesn't have the athleticism, jab, and poise to remain calm under fire and keep his opponent at bay. I like the guy and I think he should call it a day while he still has all of his faculties.

    Prices jab was pathetic against Teper.... He was just plopping out a range finder, gave Teper absolutely nothing to worry/think about... He was able to eat everything Price threw at him, and walk him down and score the early KO.
