    Price has really good power, i think he would stop Fury. Not sure about Price´s chin though, fortunately for him, Fury is no big banger.

    Both are being over rated at the moment. I see nothing in Fury to suggest he will ever go much further than domestic level. He's often poorly conditioned, awkward, uncoordinated and cumbersome. He's a better self promoter than a boxer.

    Price has potential. He has serious power, solid technique and so far has always shown up prepared and in shape. But he's still only a prospect. It's easy to be impressed by his size and power. But if you look a little deeper he has some serious technical deficiencies to iron out before he can be taken a possible world champion. He is sometimes jittery wasting energy with pointless movements, he doesn't seem to know how to tie up an opponent effectively but luckily he hasn't faced anyone dangerous enough to take advantage of that. He needs to work on his agility, he seems rather static when you compare him to Wlad or even Vitali. Though that maybe due to the fact he hasn't faced anyone good enough yet to force him to move much.

    At this moment in time I'd pick Price to KO Fury, he at least seems to have the potential to be something other than just another domestic level brit.

    What is Price's actual reach anyway? I've seen it listed at 79" and also 81".

    82 inches according to Boxrec. So he has a decent reach but not massive for a guy his height.

    Cheers. I thought 79" sounded really short for a guy his height.
