    How do you think would David Price have done against Wilders first 32 opponents?

    HWs seem to get stepped up quickly in the UK and I often wonder if some of the fighters need a longer time against building opposition.

    This isnt to be negative about either fighter

    For example
    In Prices 14th fight he was facing A Harrison who he beat in the first round
    In Wilders 28th fight he was facing A Harrison who he beat in the first round around 6 months after Price had fought Harrison

    Price in only his 16th and 17th fight was facing T Thompson
    In Wilders 16th fight he was facing a 6-6-0 fighter who was well inside the SMW division when he turned pro.

    Now when someone gets to build up a record and reputation they often grow in stature and can go further.

    So how do you think undefeated fully confident Price would have done against Wilders first 32 opponents having fought them at the same times in their careers so for example when Wilder fought Liakhovich it would be the same Liakhovich Price would be against coming off the losses to Helenius and Jennings.

    Fully confident undefeated Price, I think would have got to the Stiverne title fight undefeated after the same 32 fights and with that seasoning and confidence who knows how far Price may have gone?

    How do you think Price would have done in those first 32 fights?

    No Nichols or Sconiers jokes please

    I think it's fair to say price would likely have had a similar result in fight 28

    I think he would have probably gotten through all of the fighters that preceded Stiverne.
    K. Price and Beck might have given him some issues but I think he'd prevail.

    From that point on he's on thin ice. Very thin.

    Ortiz, Duhaupas, Stiverne, Molina and Arreola all probably KO him. He'd probably beat Washington and Szpilka, but there's no guarantees of that.

    Sconiers would beat him.

    ESPN Mascot would KO him, Charlie Z would drop him at least a couple of times

    I’d argue about Duhaupas and Molina and I see Washington knocking him out but the rest seems very likely.

    This thread is a nice counter to the one about Wilder and AJ’s resume, well done!

    First 38. So not any of the title fights, but the 38 beforehand.
    Remember also price would have had alot more experience and I wouldn't be shocked if he prevailed in some of them. Arreola wasn't on the best run at that time

    Still first 38 not 39 onwards

    thing is he may have been a different fighter with 32 fights behind him. Who knows?

    Who does that exclude Ortiz? He's only had 40 matches. What's the difference?

    I like Price a lot, and he definitely has a puncher's chance, but all the guys I listed are Tony Thompson, Christian Hammer, Erkan Teper level guys. Which means they have a chance.

    The Arreola Wilder fought is completely useless. Price would KO him more than likely. Especially if he was motivated and throwing punches like against Povetkin and before Thompson losses. Washington and Szpilka are far better fighters than that version which is really saying something.

    Arreola wasn't on a good run at that time.
    I would have favoured the undefeated confident price
