    I realize that some people are not too high on Willard, but can we at least say that he did enough to be favorite overt Price?

    Pricey all day long. Too big and whacks like a locomotive.

    Price sees that its scheduled for 45 rounds and hops right back in that time machine.

    If people think that Willard was as bad as many here do, they really ought to pick Price. For consistency, if nothing else.

    Prince Price Hamed had it all. He was accurate had great lateral movement and was slick as grease and the twelve punch pin point combo he used to lay out AJ in sparring is still talked about today.

    It REALLY depends on how well Willard can take Price's power. Pricey can hit really hard and there's few guys that could take his best clean and stay level. That said, Willard had a hard head and was renowned for his durability and staying power. If it goes past the first few rounds then he probably wins. Not sure it would though. 50-50 imho.
