    His slow feet too as the rounds go on he becomes more and more stationary. There's so much of Price too hit, he can't be a sitting duck shots get through his guard

    Amir Khan probably has the worst chin of any high profile boxer.

    That Povetkin punch would have knock almost anybody out. Price has a nice set of skills. He only need to learn how to find his range and use his reach by using his jab a lot more. He has the size to do it. To be honest, I was impressed while it lasted...

    He needs to use Wlad style as a blueprint and example.

    His chin weakness is overrated. Because it's not all about the chin in boxing — a lot of good boxers had quite weak chins.
    Price stamina is awful, and he also, it seems, has some coordination problems.

    Wladimir's chin is equally bad. He was just better at protecting it.

    You mean how that same punch couldn't hurt Marco Huck? Povetkin has PED power but without it he isn't much of anything. Price is slow, has poor stamina, and can't take a punch.

    No. Alex Garcia likely had it among top 20 fighters.

    No.

    But I think he might have the greatest disparity between chin and overall ability.

    Lots of horrible boxers have horrible chins. But it’s rare to see someone have such a single, isolated deficit.

    When did he fail to beat a count again, fool? Unlike Lewis and Tyson he was never KO'd, only TKO'd.

    Are you an alt of that Boya clown btw? Same illiterate hate on Klits.

    Roy would've been out cold on his back for 20 minutes from the left hook that Povetkin dropped Price with in the 3rd if a similar sized fighter as him caught him a shot like that. Look at the shot Glen Johnson iced him with there was nothing on it at all yet Roy's lights went out like he'd been caught flush by Mike Tyson.

    I do like to mock Pricey - we all do - but that was a brave performance. One thing that struck me as odd though was the way he let Sasha move into range and get into the coil before pausing for a second and then switching his attack. This happened on at least a dozen occasions and at no point did Price think to move away. I don't think his brain can cope with the pressure of a fight and it freezes like his body does.

    He only started jabbing and punching with authority once he'd been put down as if he'd been stunned enough so he couldn't think and found his fighter's instinct.

    But then came the 'power down' punch, the locked out legs and the brutal invitation to get intimate with the canvass.

    Povetkin shut Takam's lights out with a left hook, no one can say Takam has a weak chin can they? Price was the best I've seen him in a long time last night, gave a gutsy performance and actually looked like he was gonna spark Povetkin on a few occasions, he didn't panic under pressure and deserves credit for going out on his shield and taking the risk.

    For sure. Price went up in my estimation - he got a count out of a much higher level opponent after taking a knockdown - Povetkin still unsteady for the first minute of the 4th - and he was back on his feet quickly after a brutal ko one round later. Duhaupas who took Wilder's best efforts for 11 rounds went down harder than Price and took longer to get to his feet. How many of these bums who talk big would get in the ring with Povetkin?
