    Too bad Price was looking good. Maybe Virgil Hill can help?

    Confidence has been gone for years and too vulnerable
    For his own safety he should retire

    Price needs to find another job. Boxing is bad for his health. But if he continues, he'd better fight Helenius, Lucas Browne and other shot no-hopers

    I saw an interview with Price last week and when asked if he lost at the weekend would he retire, Price said "No".

    I think it might be a decision his family makes for him or might have to make for him. They might sit him down and tell him enough is enough, he has a wife and children and I'm sure they don't want him hurt anymore.

    If Price doesn't retire then it's going to be such a long way back after a KO like that.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but how many heavyweights have forged a successful career after that many brutal knockouts?

    Well I think he meant if he lost a tough UD or maybe the ref stopped it prematurely. Considering the fashion he was knocked out in.. I don't think his answer would be the same.

    Nice skills. Good power...but

    No chin and he is pretty bad at finding his range. Deadly mix. You cannot work on the chin but distance yeah. Best example is Wlad.

    Needs to retire. Gets knocked out of it - way too easy. Every KO is brutal. But he did show better form and the most confidence since the first Thompson fight

    He's just not a good fighter... zero defense.. reacts badly to getting hit.

    I mean, everyone knew this is exactly how this fight would go... well except when he hurt Povetkin.. but yeah.. all Price ever had really was size.. not a real athletic guy though.

    No he just has a glass chin, if he could take a shot he could have beaten povetkin easily, Every fight hes in is like walking a tight rope, no matter how perfect you are the slightest mistake and its game over.
