    Fury and Price (Dallas??) might get to Brit level possibly Euro. Can't see the rest doing much beyond losing British title challenges, if that.

    Scott Belshaw - Belshaw could still become Irish champion.

    Alex Ibbs - Ibbs will one day reach puberty.

    Tyson Fury - Fury will probably end up a Euro belt contender.

    David Price - Price has talent but his chin will stop him going further than British champ.

    Richard Towers - Towers will probably contend a domestic title of some sort.

    Scott Mitchell - Not seen him fight.

    Tom Dallas - Dallas has a decent punch so could be a dark horse in the division domestically. I would say he can become British champ.

    Larry Oubamiwo - Will get to KFC then Burger Kinger than back to KFC before ending his night at Pizza Hut.

    Price is a class apart from that list. He's a real prospect.

    scott belshaw- May be a British title contender but nothing more

    Derek Chisora- On his way to a hiding by Tyson Fury, also who gives a **** he stays at the level he's at.

    alex ibbs- Not seen him fight.

    tyson fury- Big question mark here. He has been moved along too quickly and should really switch trainers to take him to the next level. Most likely Euro title I feel.

    david price- Maybe British title but as has been said before his chin will limit his progress.

    richard towers- Not seen him fight.

    scott mitchell- Not seen him fight.

    tom dallas-Not seen him fight.

    larry olubamiwo- Not seen him fight.

    Answer: Nowhere.

    Belshaw will stay as a lower level domestic fighter, he will win against the scrubbs but will be an activity fight for the top guys who are looking to get back on the comeback trail after a loss, easy win for the top guys.

    Ibbs is going nowhere either. He'll be a journeyman at best. Anybody that gets stopped by David Ingleby can forgot World/European/British title aspirations.

    Fury has the best chance of any of them, but he's really struggled his last 2 fights and I think they've shown his flaws. He may improve with Rob McCracken, and I expect him to improve to the point where he might win a British title at some point, but I fear he may turn into the new Pele Reid.

    Price obviously has Olympic exposure and proven power, but his whisker's are shaky and he's just not active enough. British/low European level at best.

    Towers & Dallas I've never seen fight, either of them, but I'm not getting my hopes up there either.

    Larry lost to Dani Peret, enough said.

    I think Price has an iron jaw.

    Seriously, just because some fat pikey twat said he had a dodgy chin doesn't mean he does, what else is there to say he has a **** chin.

    they will go nowhere and fast. fury needs an incredible amount of honing.

    price could do well but we've seen one fight and the buzz has gone.

    He got rocked in his first fight.
     
  15. I reckon with proper training/management Price will go far, his chin is underrated I think, the square-on shot he took in his pro debut would have wobbled anyone.
