    "they are both good fighters...not right for me at the moment"

    Pricey just wants to fight puddings like Dave Allen and try cash out against AJ at some point

    He tried to use the excuse that he has already won the british title so wouldnt go back down to that level, but the fight against Joe Joyce would have been for the European title, something Price has tried to get and failed in the past. So he has no excuses really.

    He knows they'd knock his head off that's why.

    I think Price knows his level is British now and you can't blame him for wanting winnable fights. He knows what it's like to be a lamb to the slaughter.

    I can't blame him.
    There's no reason for him to take such fights in which he probably gets sparked again. Just like the Povetkin fight in which everyone knew that was about to happen. And don't forget, Allen was supposed to spark him too.

    No offence but if you dont fancy your chances against joyce or a green dubois theres no real point still boxing at price,s age imo. He,d be better off out the game. These two guys are exactly the type he should be aiming for.

    Is there much interest left watching him beat dave allen types and celebrating likes hes won a world title. Or fighting povetkin/joshua etc. Guys that can and will hurt him. I like dave...always cheer him on. But its time to take dubois or joyce type fights at this stage. Joyce is so open for the right hand its unreal.

    He’s open to getting chinned for the right money. We’ve seen Joyce and Dubois level of opponents are clearly cheap. What’s the point in getting KO’d for little money? Have a couple of wins under Hearn and get fed to someone on a PPV undercard For decent dough and retire.

    Let's be honest, he's had a tough career and wants to cash out. I don't massively blame him. Think he'd have a chance if he rematched Povetkin.

    I don't get why people love this guy, he's a absolute joke. He is a absolute giant of a man with no heart what so ever. He is scared of his own shadow. Big soft pudding.

    Thank goodness Price was sensible enough not to fight Dubois...that would have been a disaster

    Was in full agreement until you mentioned Derek Chisora in the final sentence

    Everyone should be more nice,
    To Boxing legend David Price,
    Although you like to whinge and grouse,
    Bout each and everything that's scouse,
    The truth is he brings a touch of class,
    As well of course his chin of glass,
    So stop the insults hold the bile,
    Appreciate his sharp suits style,
    Applaud this corgi certified lump,
    Who yet may give AJ a thump,
