Why do so many people think Price would beat Fury?

    Well there are some fair points from people who think Price will but I think a lot of people are over looking Fury's speed, heart and proven fittness it'll be 50/50 imo.
     
  2. I'm not saying I think Price will win. A focused Fury will give Price a hell of a test. It's def a 50/50 for me (no fence sitting).

    Who's Dallas though? He barely got past Scott Belshaw who Fury destroyed with ease (upper cutting himself in the process lol) and as for Fury's chin, it's good, he's only been down once pro/am, as for his power, he had enough to heavily drop Price with heavy gloves and a head guard on.

    Price is the better boxer, has more power, more dedication and doesn't help his oppenents by punching himself in the face :yep

    Prices inactivity and lack of rounds in the bank is the only reason I would give fury a chance against him.

    IMO Price beats Fury, due to Furys lack of defence.

    The self inflicted uppercut was against Lee Swaby

    I can see price beating him, price is quality he just hasn't fought anyone on his level yet

    Once he beats Big John then people will realize this

    Price is the bigger man and athletic, Fury is fat.

    Price is technically good, Fury isn't.

    Price has big power, Fury hasn't.

    Price is the better boxer and has the better jab.

    Price apparently has a bad chin but then again..Fury's isn't stellar.

    The only advantages Fury has is he has fought better fighters in the pros and has a big heart.

    I favor the Fury who fought Chisora to beat Price. But the Fury who fought Pajkic would lose to Price. Fury was doing well with his uncle they got the game plan right for the Chisora fight and second McDermott fight. Fury should leave Chris John for Hughie Fury or preferably Manny Steward. But i'm not making an official prediction until I see Price and Fury's next fights.

    Because Price doesnt live in a caravan & train in a barn.

    I love Fury (no homo) but he isnt improving (physically or technically) & has a terrible defence.

    I have Price to win.

    Only question is that Price has had such a slow start to his pro career that you have to wonder if he has enough experience. Fury has fought at a much higher level so far, and that isn't saying much.

    Fury beat an unmotivated and poor Chisora. I think Tyson has a load of mental issues that stop him preparing properly. He seems to wake up when he realises how deep he is in, but he will get caught out by a better prepared guy.

    I think Fury has potential, but that needs to be realized. If he gets a serious long term trainer and loses all that extra flesh he's lugging around then I think he can make huge progress. He's got this far being out of shape, loosey goosey in defence and making errors all the time, and he IS further down the career path than Price...

    I don't, but I've just never thought much of Price I'm afraid. Seems a nice chap and decent boxer, but I don't think he's top material.

    Neither is Fury, but he is better I think.
