    After watching that fight on Saturday in which he claimed an injured, my immediate thought were "He ran out gas and quit before it was sleepy time again!".

    But maybe I'm bias so I'm asking all of you...is it time or can Price still be the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world at the ripe young age of 34?

    Yes. Long overdue. Although we got the excitement of the Povetkin fight, please David, retire now.

    He did throw out or shake his arm at the end of one of the early rounds.

    I think the injury is legit but he was gassing and I think it was only a matter of time.

    Price is as wide as he is tall but those tiny eyes can only take so much. People were calling for him to retire after it all went terribly wrong vs Tiger Thompson. With all this said....

    PRICE RETURNZ!!!!!!!!!


    AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    He should have retired a long time ago. Many of us come on here and make fun of him and crack jokes at his expense, but he seems a genuinely good guy who loves boxing and who was once a potential heir apparent to the HW throne.

    Hes 34 or 35 and not only is he not getting any better, he has clearly digressed from his AM days and early career up to TT I. I think the expectations weighed too heavily on him and he was never gonna live up to them and once that first eminent KO hit it was all downhill from there. He was never gonna be an ATG but many forget how skilled and talented he was, but also equally as flawed.

    He could make some more money serving as cannon fodder for up and comers.

    I say keep box plenty of money to make betting on Price lol. CTE is very scary though, if the man is secure finically he should retire ASAP

    He is heading towards brain damage in the long run should he continue like this.

    He definitely needs to retire, he's disrespected the warriors code.

    The eubanks are disgusted in the big soft shite.

    Not everyone in boxing is going to make it to the top 10.

    He's never going to be a champion, but there's little reason he shouldn't continue to fight if he enjoys it at all.

    I'm a sadist.. But he should retire. If he fights on I hope it's against guys like Allen and Turner.

    His record is 22-6, not 1-100.
