Call Me Crazy But I Think Price Can Give Klitschko a Hard Fight

Hi Guys this is my first post on this forum. I would like to hear your opinions on David Price, what do you think of him as a fighter? do you rate him?, is he the best British heavyweight?. I was watching Vitali vs Adamek the other day and Vitali was yet again so dominant and he looks unbeatable.. but it kept crossing my mind I would love to see Dave Price have a shot against this guy, and there is a few reasons why:

David Price is 6'8'' and 255 Ibs, so he will not be smaller like both the Klitschko's recent opponents Haye and Adamek, both of who are light heavyweights/crusierweights, they are much smaller in terms of height, weight and reach.

David Price is undefeated (12-0), beating all of his opponents comfortably, his most recent fight he smashed Tom Dallas quite easily.
He has won Gold at the commonwealth games at Super Heavyweight.
　
He is a very agile heavyweight, I have personally seen Dave Price fight LIVE 4 times, I saw him against David Ingleby, Raman Sukhaterin, Raphael Butler and Tom Dallas. Every time I saw him he really impressed me and I saw something in him, something that I haven't seen in any other British heavyweight since Lennox Lewis days, David Haye is a cruiserweight and I have never been impressed by him nor have I ever liked him. Price is bigger than both Klitschko's although its not by much only 1 inch and about 10 Ibs but he is one of the few really big fighters I have seen that has seriously good condition and boxing, he doesn't just slug it out, he has pin point punches and moves very well. I was reading a artice by one of his strength and conditioning coaches who said that it takes Price about 40 mins to get a sweat when he is on the treadmill at a fair pace, now that is amazing for a guy his size, he also said Price's cardio is off the charts and can out work alot of welterweights they have in same gym.

I think alot of the promoters know Price is very dangerous and could potentially beat anyone on a given night but his personailty is very very quiet, he is very calm and doesn't speak much, they tried to put him on a few shows like Ringside but he never comes off to well because he doesn't say much and isn't very animated and sadly now in boxing alot of hype and talks sells fights rather than ability. Haye for instance only got Klitshcko because of his rude dirty mouth. As we all know the heavyweight division is very shallow and there are very few top guys that the Klitschko's haven't beat so there isn't millions of guys in line to face the Klitschko's, thats why I think with them matching Price up with top ranked guys can move him quicker to face either one.

So anyway my question is how would he do against either Klitschko? especailly with more fights under his belt and both Klitschko's getting older, i'm not saying Price should fight them tomorrow and would KO them both Tomorrow, but i'm saying that in time I think he would give them a very difficult fight and could win. What are your thoughts on this? would like to hear your opinions, I know Price is very close to a British heavyweight title shot, but I would just like to know how you think he matches up with either Klitschko brother. Thanks

 

by the way i also want to add that the word around Liverpool from people who went to some Haye camps said that Haye was sparring with Price for the Klitschko fight and the word was Price was messing him up, so much so that Haye's trainer was very unhappy with the sparring and thought that the height and reach was just the reasons, but from what people told me its not just the reach that was the problem, the fact was that Price was much better than Haye and messed him up even though he wasn't trying to go hard as its a big fight coming for Haye at the time. BUT this was just word on the streets round here and who really knows what goes on behind closed doors in the training although these people have alot of knowledge.

 

Totally agree with you mate, glad someone else sees what i do. I think he will smash Tyson Fury quite easily to behonest, i think Fury will be in for a shock. I really hope Vitali does not retire soon because we will never see the Price vs Vitali fight, i would like it to happen in 2 years if Price keeps winning, i really think he could give them trouble for many reasons.

 

lol. I'm not, but i am from Liverpool so i do have a biasis lol. but i do genuinely feel he can give them a tough fight in time to come as there is hardly anyone else for them to fight who they haven't already beaten.

 

Thank you mate
Yes thats very true he is flying under the radar , and like i said i think the main reason is because of his personailty, his interviews are really dull and he doesnlt speak much and i never ever heard him say a bad thing about another fighter.. and in the modern day we all know that talk sells so much of the fight.

all he normailly says is "he is a good fighter" or "should be a good fight hopefully". the bigger mouths get all the attention i think lol.. if you know what i mean?
