    In all fairness the opposition he has beaten is at least as good as what Price has beaten. I still can not decide a winner although Helenius's durability does make me lean towards him but I still have not voted.

    Price of course isn't the bees' knees like loads thought, but he'd still beat Helenius IMO. Robert is durable but so was Matt Skelton, even at his age. Price has a crap chin but fairly good footwork and speed for a big man. Helenius to me looks a little bit more rugged and clumbersome which would make it easy for Price to catch him. As long as Price didn't do anything stupid and leave himself wide open like he did against Thompson then he'd take this fight. Only my opinion though.

    Matt Skelton was always durable but not on the world stage. He has been stgopped by a lot of up and comers in recent years. If Helenius could stay up right he'd be a massive danger throughout. 50/50 imo

    Helenius is turgid. Price should put him away inside 6 if he doesn't give his chin an airing.

    Although Helenius is clumsy and lumbering he seems to be able to take a good shot and if Price can't put him away early he could end up getting through with something at some point.

    Helenius is also as big and probably stronger than Price so he doesn't have much of a physical advantage this time, he certainly has better offensive skills and better power but also a suspect chin and a leaky defence. It would be an interesting fight, Price needs to come back and get a win under his belt then move straight on to those kind of fights he can't go back to fighting at British level for another year.

    Helenius beat him in the AM's twice and Price hasn't really changed his style atall to suit the pro game ... Price could knock him out,but if he's caught by Helenius he'll be taking a nap.
    I'd say it's a 50/50 fight to be fair,Price isn't all that much better than Helenius.

    Price will be gutted the Fury fight didn't happen now cos that wold have been a massive payday for him, that fight has lost it's mega appeal after Prices loss as it was meant to be the two unbeaten best HW's in the UK fighting to see whose number 1 but Fury can certainly claim that now, excluding Haye who is obviously retired!

    What's going on with Robert Helenius at the moment? His career seems to have fizzled out, has he been injured, or something?

    He had a shoulder injury and took a year off. Fought in November and looked crap. I think he's been exposed personally.

    So difficult to judge Price after the affect that one punch by Johnson had on him.

    Its just opened up a million question marks over Price's ability to take a shot.
