    First things first, get the Teper loss overturned although most of the damage has already been done.
    Then fight every 2 months for about 1½ to 2 years, while taking on light hitters who can fight and take a punch mixed in with light hitters who can't.

    Then try to cash out in a local fight (being a British HW has his perks) with a big name and hope for a small miracle in that one.

    Fights with Cunningham and Scott are fights he could take, neither can really punch and they are both highly ranked.

    First thing first. Price should get on peds. Disgraceful whats happened to him. Two defeats. Both drug cheats. And yet price takes far more abuse than the two cheating. Lets be honest price has been humiliated twice now on live tv. He should be sueing both of them. Boxing will always have a question mark over it till they get the drug situation sorted out. Should be lifetime bans handed out for it. Get the sport cleaned up and let the best rise to the top.

    IMO Price has been mentally scarred by his defeats and manner of the defeats. Until he sorts this out this demons will always be there and come back to haunt him when he's under pressure/has time to think.

    Regardless of how good/bad you think he is as a boxer he will never get back to his potential until this is sorted out.

    He has a heart the size of a pea, no ring smarts, and the ability to throw huge bombs and nothing else. All the physical tools, none of the mental attributes.

    This
    He has attribues to have some sort of decent career. I try and get some training in Wlad. Lean how to shorten and dominate with the jab etc etc.

    Someone like Steward would have loved what Price brings. Tall, rangy, massive stopping power.

    Teper result overturned to no contest now, wonder if he gets another shot at the EBU belt now?

    I don't see how he can get to the top. He has to avoid taking a flush punch. We see the likes of defensive genius like Mayweather taking flush shots. Even lower level opponents like the pulevs, whytes, Lucas Browns, helenius, tarvers, stiverne, arreolas and so on can all bang and all have the ability to land on price and I think all would have the confidence now to go in and try to bully price.

    I don't even think he makes it past that level. Don't even get me started on the Luiz ortizs, Joe parkers, Joshuas, klitschko, povetkins and so on

    He needs to do a Liam Smith and go for the easiest route to a title. Problem is, he is a valued member of the who-needs-him club

    Great to see it has been classed as a non contest, hopefully price will find some confidence from this.
    Sadly I think his biggest opponent is in his head, and his confidence is shot.
    He seriously needs a trainer to sort his fitness an defensive skills out, I think he needs a hypnotist also.
    If not I fear he will get seriously hurt, he should deffo fight some journeymen though to build himself back up.

    Give him a coupla knock overs then put him in with chisora or hughie fury. Both recognisable and offer different challenges. Neither have monster power.
