    I really think Price gets too much stick here.

    He fought a better opponent as any other British heavy besides the Klitschkos, and obviously lost (badly).
    That doesn't mean he completely and utterly sucks! It just means he wasn't ready (and might never be) for such an opponent. But he has a huge equalizer (as shown in the 2nd fight)
    Pretty sure Fury would have been stopped by old ass Tiger Tony too. And I will even go as far as favouring him against Fury if that fight ever happened because I expect Fury to lay down on the very first right hand landing. (yes you can call me crazy, I don't mind)

    The guy is actually entertaining in the ring, and has more as one thing in common with a young Wlad Klit (And no, I'm not saying he's on or even near that level), so he might actually fix some of his shortcomings too.

    David as a fighter is mentaly broken. If he could find a trainer who can build up his confidence, spark the fire in him, that would be good. Someone who also can be a friend, like Manny Steward, if there's someone like that though. Then take 2-3 easier fights and take them to later rounds on purpose. KOing people in 1 wont help him.

    Till he gets chined again, moved on to fast, another boxer who listened to the hype. First fight, a light shot totally finished him, second fight gassed out, no chin no stamina equals lots of defeats, nice guy though. British level maybe european if lucky

    Price v.s Ian Lewison would be good.

    I thought the second Thompson fight proved his chin wasn't too bad, he just gassed completely. He'll be back stronger I think, hopefully he gets a good new trainer. Was thinking Booth would be an option with Groves out the picture, but I'm not sure if he'd train two heavies.
