    Agree totally with what you said at the top, but the schedule you suggest wont develop him at all in all honesty

    Get a new trainer 100%

    I don't think Towers will benefit Price at all he would most likely end it early like he has been doing with his previous fights and that is not going to allow him to test his improvements in the ring.

    Oquendo has power and if Price gets landed on by him then it will all be over in all honesty. Plus Oquendo is another old fighter he needs young pressure fighters who will keep coming

    Walker has a pretty poor chin in all honesty and Price would likely finish him early

    Ibragimov is totally shot now and he seemed totally past it in the Mitchell fight and I don't think his heart is in it anymore in all honesty


    Price needs guys who will help him get the rounds in and teach him things in the ring.

    Fights i would give him:
    May - Dominick Guinn
    September - Oliver McCall
    December - Kevin Johnson
    March - Tony Thompson 2

    I think he needs to come back to British level just to build confidence. Perhaps my list is not perfect, but yours is horrific mate lol.

    That will just lead to him neglecting defence again. It is a much better list than yours though

    Valid points Jonsey but if he couldn't even beat a thompson in that condition and at that age, i mean its not looking optimistic by any stretch of the imagination. Beating up domestic cans is not going to improve him one bit, yeah might improve his confidence but when he gets hit in the face again, that will fly out the window.

    that's where the best heavyweights are

    Thompson is not a draw. Maybe if Thompson were on an undercard that'd be doable, but he's not a name that fans support by buying tickets.

    Anywhere outside the United Kingdom will do.
