    Stiff Mitchell ain't the worst, and is obviously has great physical attributes which is a good base to work from. My only real observation is that he does seem to need to think a lot about what he's doing, it's not his nature, he doesn't seem to be the type that was raised in a gym and it's in his blood.

    How old was Mitchell when he first laced them up?

    The British heavyweight scene is strong right now at domestic level with some fighters having a good shot at becoming top contenders in the future.

    Fury
    Price
    Chisora

    Towers and Sexton are not to bad at domestic level.

    I still dont see any who I think could beat David Haye.

    Price impressed me thus far, but there's a big gap between blowing McDermott away and making it on world level.
    Popov and Skelton did that before him, and where are they now?!

    But from the sub 10 fight Heavies, I was the most impressed with him (together with Szpilka)

    I'm not sold on Price yet. Some good attributes but hasn't been tested.

    The hyperbolic statements we've heard off the back of beating McDermott have been nauseating.

    Price is being overrated right now. So many unanswered questions.

    I know that its shallow but I just can't get beyond the fact that Price looks like he should be on a Sunshine Variety bus

    I hate to say it. But he just looks vulnerable to me. Like he's one decent shot away from getting stopped. I know every fighter is but some far more than others. He looks stiff and i really think he lacks confidence. I wish him the best, he seems a nice lad. But i'm really not high on him.

    Yes and that's why I think he should be put in with Vitalli right away...Vit is there to be taken,he's slow and lost his foot work and lost punch resistance,he was blowing after 2 rounds and could just about make the last round.....David could capitalise on this right now...the first punch would drop Vit....

    David Price is the most talented up-and-coming HW, but he hasn't been kept active enough and he's been moved too slow. He should have more fights (16 or 17) by now. Too bad he didn't sign with Allegedly.
