    My instinct is to say Price but I don't know because Price needs testing at a higher level but he does look unstopable. Wladimir, it has to be said though, would have done a 1 round job on Price.

    Price obviously. It's a bit hard knocking someone out when you're terrified of getting hit yourself, and spend the entire fight at distance playing it safe

    As a simple answer to your question is undoubtedly Price

    However the answer is not simple, if Wlad abandoned all strategy and looked to bomb his opponents out no matter what the consequences there's a good chance he'd be flattening people a lot earlier than he does or has been, that said, he'd have lost more fights than he has too

    So its striking the balance isn't it, Price naturally is more aggressive than Wladimir but that doesnt make him more dangerous, or any better!, Wladimir is a well rounded seasoned champion who has chin vulnerabilities, Price is a young hungry heavy handed guy who also has chin vulnerabilities, its an interesting debate

    For what its worth i think Price would bury Haye

    Price every time. Vladimir would never ko haye, he is far to defensive, it only takes a fraction of hesitation due to negativity to greatly reduce his punching power, if he showed half te aggression price does he'd finish bums off a lot sooner, but then he would get hit more often. And therefore nothing would have changed from his earlier career and he wouldn't have got to where he is now.

    Neither of them would KO Haye in any fight they have with him

    Haye beats Price every single time they fight and is capable of beating Wlad, but must perform better than last time, which again he is more than capable of.

    All of you who pick price are crazy , Haye was sparring with Price for Wlad. Haye ****ed Price up pretty bad in sparring if remember correctly..

    you mean on Audley, right?

    because there is no WAY Wlad would be agressive enough to get Price out in one, and if he tried to be it's a case of who lands first.

    You're right but would you pick Price over Haye right now?

    not at this stage, but if Price improves much more then yes, and I by no means think Haye would "easily" beat Price, he'd be cautious as **** most likely

    Haye takes him out with ease if they fought within 3/4 months simply because it'd be too big a jump for Price. Of course Price could catch Haye and take him out but Price hasn't faced anyone who can really pose him a threat TBH. He is looking very impressive dealing with what is in front of him though.

    Maybe, lol the fight wont happen anyway, no chance

    but I'd like to see a gradual step up over the next 12 from Price, after Seklton is dispatched, maybe something like

    March: Dimitrenko

    June: Helenius

    September Adamek

    Jan: Povetkin

    May 14': Wlad

    that's probably how i'd look to guide him, 3 winnables, then the title shot

    I'm pretty confident that because of his TV deal he will fight Chisora some point next year.

    it's an ok fight, it doesn't do anything to prepare him for a Klitschko though, and I don't think Chisora is going to be the same, pressure fighters who trade on chin usually aren't after being ktfo
