Just scene this might happen on December 1st & would be a final eliminator for a mandatory shot at Wlad. Who wins & how?
Fury by brutal beat down. He will still get grief too while Price gets a pass fighting the likes of Audley and Skelton.
hes only had 14 fights...fury was fighting zack page and marcelo nascimento after 14 fights , lets be honest Fury did duck Price, no doubt about it.
In my humble oppinion, Boytsov is too much of an unknown commodity to accurately predict. After all these years, he has still never fought anyone who could test his chin. Fury on experience, but who the hell knows?
The real problem we have now is that alot of olympic boxers that are known before they even went pro are pushed on to early...14 fights and we're telling price to move on to bigger and better, with price i agree since he keeps KO'ing everyone he fights but surely we shouldnt expect people to move into the 'world class operators' bracket until they have like 20 fights? fighters who dont go to the olympics and dont have the fame from the beginning like Hatton and Calzaghe both had world class careers but they got like 20-25 fights under their belts first.
Most of them don't fight often enough though. That's why they don't seem to have enough bouts when taking the big step up. Look at Boystov's recent activity.
If you are happy to sell out venues and earn money off what you did in the Olympics then you have to live with the expectations that go with that, it was expected of Khan and DeGale so again I don't see why Price should get a pass. The guy is 29 and been a pro for over 3 and a half years, if he is blowing away bums (10 of his opponents stopped in 3 rounds) and still only managed 14 fights then he needs to either step up the quality of opposition or fight more.
while i would agree if he was a LHW or SMW, I dont because hes a HW. We see today the best HW's are 40 years old, HW's have a longer career and usually do start later, hes got a good 10 years infront of him
no...and skelton had a pretty solid career even if he is quite old now...he beat McBride...the Tyson slayer. who page beat?
He didn't really beat McBride though, it was a huge robbery. Where the Bedford Bear was flattened and put down hard by McBride only for it to be given as a slip.
