Best British & Irish based Heavyweight Prospect?

Post by johnswan1 »

Four unbeaten prospects, I can't remember a time when the British & Irish Heavyweight division looked so good. Who do you think is the best right now and how many of these four could pick up a world title in the next few years?

I have to go for David Price. He's got the amateur pedigree, size & power. I'm looking forward to seeing who comes out on top.

1. Price
2. Perez
3. Chisora
4. Fury

Out of the four I think Price and Perez are most likely to become world champions, not so sure about Chisora and Fury.

Perez is not british or Irish last time i looked and please tell me want cuban heavyweight has even made it in the pro. ranks they are good over 3 rounds but anything past that they blown out. Plus who has Perez beat and before you all start jumping on the bandwagon i will not be looking to match him with Price unless there some major title on the line as he bring nothing to the table. He cant fight for the british, commonwealth or ebu titles.

Calm down there. It doesn't say British or Irish, it says British or Irish BASED. Perez has won Prizefighter, which is more than Price has achieved so far in the professional ranks. He also, like Price, brings an undefeated record and increasing reputation to the table. I think both Price and Perez have the potential to challenge for world honours in the coming years, although if Mike is as lazy as has been reported, then I doubt he will live up to expectations.

I'd be half tempted to get that fight made to be honest.

He's grabbed a few headlines in recent months with his PF win, knocking him over would certainly be a bigger achievement than winning the significantly devalued Commonwealth title.

Either way though, there's plenty of options for all the lads, it's got to be said that Chisora is the more proven of the bunch with his two KO wins over Sexton - who obviously has two stoppages over Rogan.... but has kinda been forgotten lately.

I still think Fury receives a lot of unfair criticism, people take what he says too seriously.

When will the Mcdermott fight happen? Price to be British champ by the end of the year!

I'm amazed Chisora's bottom of the poll. We've seen that he has skill, conditioning and balls.

Fury bottom of the four. Don't make me :lol: .

Tyson will butcher Chisora. I was impressed with Price on Saturday, but it was ONE fight. Fury's faced better opposition and is on his way to a world title.

Price is the man! I've said it since he turned over. His power and technique is second to none always in good shape too. Right fights at the right time he'll go very very far IMO.

Not a chance mate. However, there is a long line of people waiting to roast me if Chisora wins, so you'll have to get to the back of the queue. :wink:

Fair enough, what makes you so sure that Fury will win?

A lot of things really.
Fury is really up for it and he isn't in it for the money, it's all about pride.
Physically, Fury has height, weight and reach.
Styles, Fury can fight on the outside and more importantly, he does well on the inside.
The key for Fury will be the jab, his movement and most importantly the uppercut.
One other thing is that Chisora is not a boxing fan and he is in it purely for the money. When the going gets really tough, will he have the motivation to push on.
