    Can he still beat world level fighters?


    Or can he only beat euro levels?


    Where does he go from here?

    I would say he can still beat some world level fighters in the future, but he will be knocked out a few more times along the way. His power will probably see him become a belt holder at some point, but his chin is far too bad to ever dominate like wlad or Lennox have done. The shots they were put on the canva with were big flush shots. I've never seen anyone react as badly to a glancing blow as price on Saturday night. Hope he comes back better from it though.

    Over before he got there...

    He will likely reach world level though, doubt he will win titles or get any great victories though.

    I think he'll probably take one or two meaningful scalps in his career, yeah. He's still got a very very fine offence. He's been exposed as defensively naive and chinny, not ****. And one of those can be remedied.

    He's never going to be boss, but he can come again.

    Well he never got close to fighter a world level fighter before Thompson, with his two best wins being Skelton and Harrison.

    I'm sure he can get a couple of decent victories on his record but I don't see him setting the world alight.

    He was never at the 'world' level. Did he ever even beat anyone at the world level?

    I think he's a European level fighter, my opinion is still exactly the same before and after Thompson. That doesn't mean he can't improve and progress, but he's getting on a bit now as well, he's not young.

    He hasn't enough pro fights for his age and lacks the technical skills to be a world beater.
    Plus his chin makes Tommy Morrison look like Larry Holmes.
