    I think Price will beat him
    Fury was 3/1 prior to the thompson bout, still 11/4
    Wouldve thought the prices would even up more than that

    Aw look at everyone jumping on the band wagon now, I was one of the only people on here who rated Fury higher but now They're all coming out of the wood work.

    Who are these sterner tests? He fought an obese, unconditioned Chisora & he's fought a gatekeeper in Johnson that took the fight at 3 weeks notice after been out boxed by a Tor Hamer & a shot Sosnowski in prizefighter.

    Thompson's a hell of a lot better than anything Fury's been in with. We'll see if Fury's team go near Thompson, Pulev or one of the Klitschko brothers. My guess is no & he'll keep going down the safety first route

    You're right, but Fury would beat Thompson no problem to be honest. Price should have beat him no problem, unfortunately boxing is full of surprises.

    HW boxing Price got caught with a single punch so there you go. I still think he will KO fury.

    I know many will be quick to jump straight on to Fury now Price has been KO'd. He might not be able to live that one down for a while due to the manner he was KO'd.

    I'll admit I fancied Price to smash Fury to bits prior to the Thompson fight but I'm not so sure now. Fury is probably the better all round boxer (logically thinking) and has been in there with the better opposition. Price tends to load up and rely on his heavy hands rather than actually box his opponents compared to Fury who peppers his opponents with the jab and throws a variety of punches.

    I'm not writing Price off at this point - he can comeback and still do damage in the HW scene, but knowing his chin isn't great, anyone with a bit of pop could poise trouble for Price. What's worrying is Price hasn't good defense, he isn't exactly hard to hit..

    Defiantly can't be writing off Price yet. The tide may of turned in terms of who is going to go further between Price and Fury. Just a major setback for Price tonight. He needs the rounds but has been knocking out most of his opponents instead.

    Don't think that agreeing with iceferg strengthens your argument. Look through his post history to see his boxing & non-boxing related opinions and you'll see what a loon he is.

    :good

    I think I've seen you saying same as me before but now they're all switching sides. I feel sorry for Price tbh, I am still a fan of him as well but always preferred Fury n rated him higher. He'd still be a real threat against Fury but I think tonight proves that without a doubt at the moment Fury is the more complete boxer.

    The point you make about Price being one dimensional is true, at least at world level. IMO and I've said this before, Chisora would be a real threat to Price as well. I think he needs a new trainer, Skelton exposed his weakness to being on the back foot now Thompson has shockingly exposed his chin. Price can come back but at the moment Fury is the better boxer and let's not forget Fury is improving as well.

    If Chisora was fat and out of shape then what do you call Thompson? because he was coming off a long lay-off after a knock-out loss at a career heaviest weight. It's a real shame for Price but he can comeback, face reality and stop being silly.

    I think Fury most likely will go after Thompson and Chisora and Johnson are at least near his level.

    Considering Fury's age and lack of AM experience I'd say the likes of McD were far sterner tests than the likes of Sexton and Dallas.

    Nope. Fury beats Thompson just like he did Johnson as well, after he deals with Cunningham.

    Does it matter? The legit test for both is Wilder. Neither will do unless a belt or mass money is on the line. Then again, Price was exposed tonight, Wilder could be also. Doesn't mask that tonight was another red face for British heavyweights
