Can Anyone Tell Me About Heavyweight David Price??

Big guy, fights bums. He's yet to face anyone worth even talking about. Frank Maloney is really behind him but doesn't seem to have the belief in him of putting him in a real fight.

 

He's chinny. British/ Euro class at best.

 

Very good amatuer. Beat fury before both turned pro. Career stalled a bit after the latvian controversy.

He hasn't yet stepped up like larry, derek and tyson have done.

There were talks about him fighting harrison. He needs a domestic scalp pronto. One of harrison, sprott or mcdermott.

He seems to have good power and good fundamentals but his chin is a big question mark. He got bladdered in the olympics by the italian (i think he went on to win it) he didn't go down but only because of ropes. He was clearly out of it and that's with head gear.

Whether he could take a shot off fury or harrison I have my doubts.

 

Won Olympic Bronze but was throughly whooped by Camarelle.

 

Hes got a bad rep as having a shaky chin from amatuer knock outs.

I disagree I think Price is very good. And a legit HW contender.

 

Fought Fury a couple of times in amateurs, stopped him aswell.

Has yet to step up, but Steward would probably do wonders with him.

 

Wasn't there an eliminator called for by the BBBofC for Price to face McDermott? Seem to have it in my head that the winner of that fight gets a shot at Fury / Chisora?

If I'm right about that fight taking place in future, it will prove to be the first and only decent test for Price. I see him winning with some ease - the real interesting fight comes against Fury / Chisora winner.

 

Very good amateur background. Won Bronze at Beijing, but got sparked in the semi against the eventual winner (an impressive looking Italian as I recall).

He seems to have bulked up alot since going pro and has looked inpressive so far, but he's been fighting the usual succession of Eastern European journeyman. I think he could be the pick of the bunch of the current British HW's

 

Big step up for him tomorrow night relative to his previous opposition. I heard Butler can bang abit when he wants to, hes got the experience aswell. So be interesting to see what happens.

 

Nowadays that means top class in the world

 

People like to say Price has a glass chin because he is English!

Thats it! I have had enough of being slapped around like a red headed step son here!!

 

He`s fighting tommorrow night against an American Raphael Butler which is a step up in class. The fight is being shown on sky.
