The road to the Heavyweight Championship.. The comeback begins...

Till Tony the tiger runs out of cash and wants number 3

 

Very possible that he picks up a belt after Wlad retires... Won't hold it for very long though.

 

When this guy fights, glass shatters everywhere. They should put a "Police Line Do Not Cross" tape around the ring when he fights, just to protect the public from all the fragments.

 

I believe he will reach a fight for a belt and he may even win it. Depends on his management though. IMO Fury, at some point, will make a mistake and face him. Price is the one to shut his big mouth.

 

You can never 100% rule someone out with that type of stopping power despite how obviously fragile Price is. Like Wilder he has the genuine power that can stop any HW (probably ever) if he can land it properly. Clearly his weaknesses outweigh his pros but never the less you can't rule out a huge KO artist. Price seems the type that could get utterly destroyed in 4 title fights before stunning someone with his 5th attempt.

Pala will be a great test tonight. Looking at Price's cv he has never beaten anybody on Pala's level.

 

Dangerous enough not to get the opportunities easily, not good enough to force them.

 

Pretty accurate statement.

 

There's a gap between option 2 and 3.

That's where I'll place him. He won't reach the top, and only with the right circumstances (a countryman holding one of the belts/fight for a vacant one or a soft chinned beltholder) he might pick one up after the Klit era.
If he does, he won't keep it for long.

 

In his next two fights we would know more

 

Thomspons gonna be looking for another fight in the fall....

Perhaps Pricey has ironed out his stamina issues and can beat Tony in the trilogy.:think

 

Price would have to get an impressive going in order to get another shot at redemption. Pala, a top 30-40 guy and a top 20 guy. Should he beat Pala, I think he should look to try and take Hammer out. High rating and not very hard to beat.

 

:rofl

 

It's a bit risky going against consecutive punchers. Eventually he'll get tagged and hurt and Hammer is a better finisher than Pala.

I think he should try to get someone like Dimitrenko in there. I know Dimitrenko has been outta the scene for a minute, but he's got name value, a fan base in Germany, and a win over Dimitrenko would provide Price with a better win than over Hammer.

Also, I think they should treat Price much like a debuting fighter. Rather than giving him tough tests, they should instead give him a steady diet of former contenders, and other journeymen who don't typically win on the big stage.

Dimitrenko
Hoffman
Walker
Meehan

All would bolster his confidence and his marketability. Both of which are hurting ATM.:think
