Price has the most ability and potential, and I must confess to liking Tom Dallas having watched FM's sparring vids of him but Larry seems so affable and genial, I like him too.

And personally, I find Fury humerous. He's not as good as he thinks but he's funny.

Richard Towers is the dark horse, but I really want to see David Price let off the leash.

i hope thats athe case like it was with aud-danny-sprott-skelton but that did take quaite a few years to come about

Fury - good story, good character.... not sure if the best but he's young so may well improve significantly

i like sexton who's still not really established & going place. a chisora return looks a great fight now.

price is the best by a country mile, but has a weak chin, which is a huge shame.

the italian was a light on the toe's arm puncher, but obviously world class boxer.

& im pretty convinced he was in cuckoo land on his feet against ingelby, ive watched it over & over :!: & marcus mcdonell is a renowned flapper when the script changes.

not sure if you'll agree with me but im pretty dead cert he's extremely vunerable & it kills me as he's :!: got everything you need as a heavy aswell as bottle etc.

dallas is one dimensional, upright, & stiff, & zombie like, but is lean, fit, a stiff puncher & pretty constant in his perceverance which could be listed as a plod.
untill he moves up in class you cant tell how effective he'll be, as there have been loads of limited fighters being succesfull through strength & desire.

He took the punch flush from Ingleby without expecting it.. and am not sure if he was actually hurt by it, would have to see it again.

Camarelle was lethal, and there was no shame in it.

Can anyone shed light on other occasions Pricey was hurt in the ams?

I think Towers may turn out pretty good... Like what i've sen so far in his early stages.

Chisora should do ok, as should Price in my eyes.

Not too keen on any of them to be honest........

Maybe Derek Chisora, because he has the most potential

but your scouse & bias to be fair. against ingelby he got caught & dropped his hands & lost recollection of where he was :!: he snapped out as ingelby couldnt follow up against a man out on his guard, watch it again & judge it without dismissing the crisis.

Price was knocked out by Canadian Bermane Stiverne in the amateurs. That may be who the above poster is referring to.

As I saw it, Price was definitely rocked by Ingelby, although to be fair he was not expecting that shot, and the ones you don't see tend to do the most damage. You can make the argument that anyone would have been hurt in that scenario, however, I still have some suspicions about Price's durability. If I recall correctly, Price also admitted to being buzzed by Fury when they fought as amateurs, although he denied going down.

Price stopped boxing against Ingleby when his gumshield came out and Ingleby blindsided him. He was given 3 standing counts in the Commonwealth Games semi-final but came back to stop the guy in the last.

Was the guy in the Commonwealth a banger?

It does seem like Pricey can be hurt!

Probably can. Difference is that Price got hurt at world class, all these other guys being mentioned - Fury, Towers, Larry, Dallas - have never fought anywhere near that class. What can you learn about Towers based on that short, fat guy he fought last week?

Price because he is so talented and seems down to earth, I think he'll go far, good strong jab and straight shots.
