    Joe Gallagher, Anthony Farnell, Chisora and John Murray all said Audley Harrison would beat David Haye.

    Proof that 'experts' get caught up in hype and bluster as much as your standard fan.

    Peoples are blind on what they don't want to see; Fury is the best prospect, right now, point.
    Also, Tyson already knoccked down David when he was just 18 y.o., while David 23 y.o.; David still won at points, but actually, would lost badly.

    Fair enough.

    But I bet there were 25+ experts/ ex pros who thought Haye would win :good

    Show me THREE who think Price will win.

    There aren't three.

    It's quite weird to be honest, how stark the contrast is as compared to the fans' opinions. Hence my original post :rasta

    With Price everybody is banking on..? everything he hits, he destroys.

    If there comes a point where, he hits something and it is still there with something to say..? His fights could turn out allot different.

    Tyson Fury's skills and boxing ability, have been tested more. He's blasted guys out, he's been in wars, he's been knocked down, he's fought through fatigue and mentally just hung in there! Every question that has been asked of him, he has answered with a A+ answer.

    David Price might just be too powerful for any heavyweight on the planet who knows..? all i know is that, somebody, something! has to get to David Price's chin, something has to get through his armour! Only then will we find out the truth!

    If Audley Harrison could of landed a BOMB, first upon David Price domestic history may have change!

    The question is..? Who is good enough, game enough to put themselves in the potential position to be shot with a pump action shot gun! But unload their own shots in the belief of landing on David Price..?

    I feel David Price's power is that potent, i don't think David Haye, Derek Chisora, want any part of David Price unless..? It was for a Multi Million dollar pay day.

    Tyson Fury on the other hand..? I feel he wants David Price!!!!

    Because Fury hasn't really shown us anything that sets him apart from the other contenders apart from his size. His technique is slow and sloppy, his chin is very questionable and his power is decent but not amazing (I mean he doesn't have 1 punch knock-out kind of power).

    Price has monstrous power, Chisora has a great chin and Haye has blistering speed and awesome technique. For me, nothing I've ever seen from Fury suggests to me he'd be able to last more than 7 or 8 rounds with a Klitschko.

    As for the boxing experts, I can't think of any who really rate him apart from Channel 5 and they've got to tell you he's good because he's their biggest attraction so they can hardly tell you he's crap. None of the Sky pundits rate him and neither does Freddie Roach.

    Fury for me is over-hyped and you could say the same about Price. I've heard people say Price is a one trick pony, maybe so but that one trick (his knockout power) is REALLY effective. Until Fury and fights and beats the likes of an Adamek or a Povetkin then I won't buy into him being good at all because all I've seen is him beat up taxi drivers like Martin Rogan.

    When Tyson Fury was offered the fight, he was not in training and overweight, and it was at too short notice. This is a sport you know mate, these fighters train to win. Preparation is the key, to a good performance.

    Plus..? Didn't Tyson Fury's manager over David Price the fight on Channel 5, why did he turn down the fight..? he's in the gym constantly by his own admission.

    :huh:huh

    It wasn't just a case of Fury vacating because he was **** scared of Price. There were bigger issues. Channel 5 wanted to host the fight or they'd cancel their deal with Hennessy (who's business was on it's arse) and Sky threatened the same thing to Maloney (and then went ahead and dropped Frank when the fight didn't happen).

    I genuinely believe that both Price and Fury want the fight but they both know that it's not going to happen for now. When it does it will be must see telly.

    Fury's a better mover, hes got a better jab, throws quicker punches, is a much more natural boxer, has got a good chin, has got the attitude, the fire in his belly, is a pikey and talks the talk...

    Price for all he has done, hasn't been tested... Hes slow and robotic, stick him in a proper tear up.. get someone in there who'll get in his space and rough him up..
