    He might as well give up Boxing. He won't even fight Dave Allen ffs, just get out the sport.

    And Dave Allen will fight anyone, he doesn't give a **** who he gets in the ring with. Dave has limited boxing ability BUT has an iron chin and I think there's good fights out there for him to make money.

    Actually Dave Allen admitted he turned down a fight with Con Sheehan. Probably because a perceived lack of money involved but it is a good fight on paper between two novices and it's a fight he should take.

    Dave Allen seems to think he's worthy of fighting big names. Where the **** has this come from? What has he done?

    I doubt that, he seems to be a very reasonable kinda guy. Would probably get the beers in and sit down to chat through the differences. Violence doesn't come naturally to boss lad Dave...

    He'll want to fight on Sky cards and a Sheehan fight would have been on BN I assume. Make no mistake, he's British title level at the very most. He'll need to throw punches in future fights, he acted as a very slow moving punchbag against Whyte. I can see him fighting Ortiz as part of building up Ortiz's name in UK, would be interesting to see if King Kong could get him out of there.

    I think Ortiz would definitely stop Allen. Maybe not an actual KO but ref stoppage. I don't want to see that fight but I can see it taking place if the plan is still to put Ortiz out on Dec 10.

    Allen has considerably bigger stones than Price which is all the more commendable considering how limited he is.

    If he could punch like Price you best believe he'd be in some classic fights and with his level of heart I think he'd still be in and amongst it even if he also inherited Price'd glass jaw.

    A lot of the ridicule of Price these days a lot stems from his inability to make the most of what he has. The rest comes from Bellew's delusions rubbing off on him but still. He's massive but doesn't fight tall behind a ram rod jab, he has power but won't let his hands go, he has **** stamina but doesn't seem to be trying to do anything about it. The list goes on.
