    How much potential does he have?

    I see Fury getting all the hype, but this guy seems to me to be a better fighter, and certainly a better athlete.

    How do you think a fury vs price fight would go?

    Definetly a better boxer but doesnt appear to have a great chin and promoter isnt given him enough fights. Needs to be more active

    I think Price is the real deal.

    If his chin is a dodgy as people seem to think then he needs to learn the Wlad fight book.

    He has natural power and his timing looks to be very good.

    I think he has great potential.

    Look forward to seeing Mick step him up.

    Glad to here someone say it. Didn't be beat Islam Timuriev in the Olympics?

    Just wish he would figth someone with a pulse. It seems like Fury, Pulev and Helenius can't gt figths quick enough whiles Price, Dallas, Towers, and taking a much more, how do you say, more cautious approach.

    He's been mostly average so far. He falls in with his punching which is absolutely criminal for a man his size to be misusing his advantages. His jab also has little sting on it, he should be using that as a primary weapon. Plus with the whispers about his chin, and how open he seems. All combines to make me seriously doubt him.

    I dont think you give him enough credit mate.

    I dont think anyone is really qualified to judge him yet as we havent seen him against a competitive opponent. He needs a step up, and quickly.

    Personally, I think he's got all the tools to rule domestically and then from there, who knows?

    I'm just saying what I see. He doesn't use a jab properly. I can show you the footage if you want, where he's tentative and not putting it out there correctly. Keeping in mind this is against bums and there is nothing serious coming back, its a bit worrying, its like his confidence is too low to really ram it home. And he does fall in a fair bit and waste his reach, again against bad opponents that should be easy to keep range against. And he was sparked a few times in the amateurs. It's all a bit concerning IMO, but hopefully he turns it around, the inactivity can't help performance continuity or confidence.

    Heavyweights? or out of the whole of Britain through any weight?. Price is pony mate...no matter how you gloss it up the guy is another Olympian that leaves me wondering if it's a piece of ****. Him and Jefferies lack of fundamentals is amazing.

    sorry,yeah, i mean at heavyweight obviously.i suppose it's all moot though because when you look at the young heavyweights coming up on the world scene i'm not convinced any of our guys are going to fare too well.
