    Chisora's been beaten numerous.. just because it was 12-0 via points against Vitali only says he'll last the 12 when getting beat.

    Barx might happen though.

    Certainly has much more upside than Price's.... Still can get a few more big pay days etc. Price is done, stick a fork in him.

    His confidence is completely shattered, as is his chin.

    I honestly do not see anyway back for him.

    What I think will happen is that he will fight a couple of cans, knock them out, then step it up again and get KO'ed again. It is at this point he will retire.

    I still think he will give it one last go, but I think his confidence is completely gone. This is why he is no longer able to beat the likes of Teper. He has lost his confidence and no longer sits down on his jab or his punches.

    Problem with Price is that he lost his aura and everyone's in on his glaring weak spot right now. If you're afraid of him and go into your shell he will blast you out with that huge right hand, but almost nobody will be afraid to let their hands go now. Ok yeah, there's always Audley of course!

    So every next guy that packs a decent punch will go chinhunting, and with Price's confidence at almost 0 he would probably lose to some guys he outherwise blasts out inside 2 rounds. Some will get caught, others will catch him. He won't have any chance to get near toplevel ever.

    Also the comparison I've seen made with Wlad who picked himself up and became almost unbeatable, is completely flawed. First, Wlad's chin is much sturdier as Price's. Second Wlad is a much better boxer as Price, with a much better defence. Wlad can actually fight very well and still on the frontfoot against guys against who he's afraid of getting hit by.
    Price misses the intanglebles to ever make it back now.

    He looks a worse fighter now than when he set out as a pro,irregardless of his chin.

    Price aint a fighter. Doesnt have the savage streak that is crucial to be a fighter. End of.

    He was blowing people away easily at one point, so no surprise there was hype. It's the same with AJ.

    Regardless I think the statement is correct. I can't see him doing anything in boxing now. He just can't seem to take a punch. The shot Teper hit him with wasn't a huge looking punch but the reaction was that he'd been hit with a sledgehammer.

    Take the Chisora fight. See what happens from there. I don't think it's inconceivable that Chisora is actually more gone than Big Pricey. Worse comes to the worse he can always fight in front of 5 thousand scousers against handpicked opposition. Beats getting up on cold mornings going to a building site everyday.

    That was clear when he signed with kalle not to be confused with kellie
