    A few of you seem to have criticised Price for the next contest...despite only having 14 pro fights.

    Think he will keep active again next year but not rush to obtain a world title shot.

    Who would you put Price in against for his Boxing schedule for next year?

    Poll to follow. Too many to list, feel free to list others.

    Once Price wins the Lonsdale belt outright he needs to fight better guys. I believe he is capable of destroying some very decent fighters. Robert Helenius would be a good opponent for him next summer.

    If he fights and beats Fury,I can see Haye coming out of retirement to fight him because it will then be a big fight in Britain

    Tyson Fury is the next logical fight, then the winner can move up and fight a gatekeeper/contender type.

    I have been very impressed with what I have seen from Price. I think he is quickly developing into a real threat to the Klitschkos. After one more fight I think he is probably ready to step up to someone like David Haye.

    None of the above.
    Price needs to develop slowly, he is at least 4 yars away from considering fighting one of the guys listed above.
    I don't think we need to see another young fighter ruined by rushing him along.

    I'd add Chisora to the list, but all in all they're decent opponents for Price

    Definitely has to be Fury and then possibly Helenius.

    I agree that he needs to a couple of years of education but wouldnt have any issues putting him in with the likes of Sosnowski, Barrett, Demitrenko /Chageav next year. Think four years is a little much tho.

    Fury seems an obvious choice, then maybe Helenius or Chisora. I personally think he'd beat them all fairly easily.

    I'd like to see him in with Chisora next year. Someone who won't stand back off him, someone who will likely pressure him, someone who will offer him half decent head movement, someone who will test his heart and durability.

    I wouldn't mind seeing a Helenius fight. Price would brutally knock him out.

    Skelton will give him a bit of that and test price with some dirty tactics, not that i'm saying it will be close.

    I can't see the Fury fight happening, he's ready for Helenius next year if it can be made.

    Helenius or Chagaev are good shouts and good opponents.

    He needs to step right up, and fight one of those before the year is out

    After he has finished with Skelton.
