    If you were David Price's manager/advisor what would YOUR advice be to him ? Stay at British level and begin again trying to build up some confidience or just throw the towel in ?

    Retire. He needs to work on too many things. It isn't just his Glass Jaw. He has no stamina and no Heart. None. This isn't the Amateurs anymore where he only had to go 3 rounds.

    Someone said he can't retire because he owes Maloney money and has to carry on for at least a few more fights to serve out his contract. Who knows? He clearly isn't a Prizefighter though.

    David Price vs Seth Mitchell make it happen

    Price could win this just from the height and reach advantage but one bodyshot from Mitchell and its over

    Rico's right. It isn't just prices poor chin that's his problem but also his poor stamina and heart. He needs to work on his stamina more than anything though, that what cost him the 2nd fight with thompson

    Build some confidence by mauling some domestic fodder, then try to get the Fury fight after he got stopped by trying to block Haye's right hand a couple of times in a row.
    I give him a good chance to KO Fury if he can catch him early on.

    Have him fighting at British level again and see how he does.

    Price's advisor should be looking for work if he advised him to fight TT a second time.

    He's just not world class, so I'd have him fight a few old names before putting him back in the mix to make some money out of him.

    He's never going to be on top or stay on top. That's my thoughts if I was a manager.

    If he should retire what do you think about the fighters he beat decent fighters like ***ton because he's not going to be a world beater doesn't mean he should just stop fighting

    He needs to rebuild at the local/regional level and square his fundamentals away before moving up again. Believe it or not, he's still young enough(due to his size) to make a comeback but his team must set him up for success and be patient.

    Price needs a new trainer/conditioning coach.

    He's had a decent career but he wasn't on Thompson's level. He had a good run prior to Thompson and beat some respectable fighters.

    He should make a run for the Euro belt. I give him a good chance against the likes of Helenius, Boystov, and Perez. Chisora would be a little tougher but isn't impossible. But first off an easier fight to build up confidence.
