Ok, he is 1cm shorter in height but reach is the exact same. Both are bigger than Wlad and Vitali (and Thompson, Wlad's last opponent). This is interesting because whatever way Wlad fights Wach, he will amost certainly fight Price the exact same way (if they ever fight). Price: height: 6′ 8″ / 203cm reach: 82″ / 208cm Wach: height: 6′ 7½″ / 202cm reach: 82″ / 208cm
valuev was 7ft tall, its skills that make wins not just height, wladimir will win easily, even vs big guys with long reaches. Nobody in the division he could fight is a threat
Price is nowhere ready for either brother. Even 41 year old Vitali would smash him. Price, Fury, Mitchell, Wilder, etc. won't ever be ready they ought to suck it up and just take the damn fight. In the '70's and 80's young contenders took the shot when they had the chance and didn't make excuses. Things like this are what have ruined the Heavyweight Division. Look how many young contenders took a crack at Holmes. They didn't say "oh I am not ready yet" they took the fight when it was offered and made no excuses.
The difference is, Price is faster, hits harder and every morning at 9am when he has a ****, he gets rid of more boxing ability than Wach could ever dream of having. Height and weight means nothing without ability.
Yes Wach sucks. Everyone who isn't Polish on here knows that. But in the same token you Brits are already doing what you do best which is over hype a guy that has 13 fights in 4 years and couldn't even take punches with headgear on :roflatsch But you do it for all of your fighters so why stop now?
Mike Tyson didn't even make the Olympics. That has as much to do with anything as what you just posted. Price is a Mike Grant type. Didn't you already see how that movie ended? To me the British public ought to demand Fury and Price fight and the winner can fight a 41 year old Vitali and get beat. Times a wasting.....
Of course, certain fighters have a weak chin as amateurs and it never improves. Some have weak chins as amateurs and it does improve. That's my point - Price has never been hurt as a pro, so his chin may have improved just like Tua's did. Remember, one of the clips people use as evidence is Price being stopped by Stiverne, which was around a decade ago. Why are they wasting time? Both Fury and Price are green and need to improve. The reason Chisora lost against Vitali was a lack of experience, so why would two other good prospects do the same thing that Chisora did? Why rush and get beaten when they can wait and win?
:deal Nobody has ever pumped Wach up to be anything special. Jack already stated that Price is the next HW Champ. Brits doing what they do best....overrate and British with a winning record and claim he is the next best thing. Wach has never been down as an AM and Pro. Price was getting the **** rocked out of him by average fighters with headgear on.
