    Why not make this fight? Price has no chin and Hughie has no power nor the willingness to mix it up.

    Whom do you predict would win this? And why not make it when it would certainly elevate the winner and give him a renewal to go forward?

    Pretty sure Hughie would still have the ability to knock out Price. It’s actually an intriguing fight. If Price would want to step down to British level it would be a good fight for the British assuming Fury beats Sexton.

    I have Hughie winning quite comfortably, probably stops him late, he had a way better gas tank.

    That would be a very interesting fight stylistically haha. I think Hughie would take it on points, or Price would throw the towel in late because of his lack of stamina.

    He just needs to retire. Fury wouldn’t be punishing for him but I think his times up.

    I just hope he’s made enough money to retire because he’s been wronged several times. He needs to be compensated for it.

    Any combination of Hughie/Joyce/Price would be intriguing.

    Well Fury has gone back to domestic level with Sexton, pretty dissapointed if I'm honest.

    If I was Price I'd be gunning for him, it's a fight that surely he wouldn't need to be mentally fatigued due to the thought of being clipped.

    And there you have it. He doesn’t have to worry about Hughies power, he probably doesn’t have to worry about being punched if Hughie of the Parker fight shows up. Imo a very very winnable fight for Price and an out cold HF is quite possible. Bad style match up for him

    As much as i'd like Pricey to KO Hughie,i think Fury would tko him, rounds 8-9 due to Price's gas tank.

    Pricey can win that by ko. Much like he could have stopped Hammer.

    It's possible if he can land clean.But Fury is very mobile.

    He is, but so is Povetkin and he caught one.

    Price wouldn't lay a glove on Hughie and he is not a small HW like Povetkin. He is 6'6 and spent most of his life sparring 6'9 Tyson Fury so Hughie by relatively easy KO. This is not a fight Price wants to go near at this very delicate stage of career.

    Price would win this. He certainly wouldn’t be getting ko’d on his feet like Saturday. Povetkin landed a few big shots and Price took them well before making the mistake.

    A point nobody seems to have mentioned is that Price looked so much fitter. He’s usually blowing from 2/3 round but he was looking far fresher than Povetkin at the time of the ko so who’s to say he couldn’t win a decision. He’s a good boxer let’s not forget. Fury was reluctant to engage with Parker who’s a lot smaller and less powerful than Price. Id say Price knocks him out.
