    Don't you just love boxing? I mean these are the type of insane matchups that only happen in boxing. And the venue/occasion is just the icing on the cake.

    Once Pricey vs. Povetkin was added to the card ebay prices of tickets have doubled in price. That's just how popular Pricey is with boxing fans.

    Why would his handlers have made this fight?

    It's absolutely ridiculous.

    Co-headlining fight and main event for most boxing fans. Get with the program.

    He's a mentally weak fighter who will get destroyed in front of millions of people.

    He will never recover from this.

    I hope Price ends the career of Headvetkin. Not in a brutal way but a way that people don't think that the cheat is elite anymore. To me Headvetkin was never elite but his fans thought and still think that he is.

    Surely, if you are right and he was never truly elite then Wilder would have faced him already.

    We all know Wilder only faces non-elite fighters.

    Price faced and beat a much bigger puncher than Povetkin in the amateurs; Islam Timurziev but it turned out he was dealing with a serious medical issue at the time.

    Sounds like what happened to Glass Jawed Roy Jones. Who also happens to still be fighting despite being brutally KOed on 3 different continents. Even Price hasn’t accomplished that.

    It's OK for ancient RJJ to get knocked out silly and you worship him. If Pricey does likewise you look down upon him. Why?
