Price's career going nowhere

But they aren't the only options. They could fit in a bout against someone else between october and April.

The Skelton bout was announced immediately after the harrison fight, so they obviously negotiated it prior to that. So they had longer than 8 weeks to fit something in.

 

its a stay busy fight, probably to secure the lonsdale belt

 

Your rhetorical question was obsolete because you presented it as a Boolean question, but there are not just two possible answers. It is not a matter of Skelton or nobody.
Skelton is preferable over nobody for the purpose of the lonsdale belt, but the defences do not need to be in succession. He could fight somebody better then fury then someone like towers, whyte, chisora, Haye when they are available if it is that important. Even Sosnowski would probably be eligible for the british title as he is a citizen here.

I understand that he may want the Lonsdale belt, or Maloney wants him to get it. I'm saying that seeking rewards such as that do nothing for his development, and in fact hinder his development by slowing down his career progress.

 

Price is too professional and level headed to think like that, watch his fights he doesnt go looking for the big punch he lets it come off his boxing

 

lol exactly how many fights they had and who have they fought???

 

:deal

 

If he wants it on his mantle piece in 30 years he may as well blast Skelton out and move on to better things in the New Year.

 

:deal

 

Don't forget that price has a lot of experience and pedigree as an amatuer which will surely help him on his way to the next level. Price boxes, and seems to take note of opponents weaknesses defencively and deflects their attention with his menacing jab and then pow! He also has the Watson like instinct when attacked his gloves go straight up,plus the variety of punches he throws is impressive as well as being very agile for a 6'8 guy.

 

I also think he is improving, but it's not because of his fights. It's his training. If he had better opponents he would improve from his training and from his fights. Good opponents that challenge him would help focus his training so it becomes more clear what to develop. Why do you disagree with that?

How do you think Price's development so far compares to the boxers I mentioned previously? Better or worse?

 

yea i agree with that.and im not really fussed.but all im saying fighting audley and skelton isnt going to help development one bit..

 

im sure price knows that, but if he wants to keep the prestigious lonsdale belt then fair play to him. Price has alot of experience through being an amatuer and has sparred some top guys that will all help , but i know that being in the ring first hand is a very different creature. in the next 2-3 fights i think he`ll be fighting a euro level fighter and the onwards and upwards
