Will Price retire or not?

[mickey1975]

Depends if hes made enough money to retire, which i dont think he has.

Plan B, be the tallest plumber in Liverpool

Nowhere near enough money to retire.

Alex Steadman mentioned Price in a tweet yesterday, seemed they'd been on a trip to the Middle East? I only glanced at it so can't remember exactly what was said, but I'm sure Manny was mentioned too, so presumably they were out there for something boxing related.

There is still money to be made at Prices level, depends whether he wants it or not.

Price has been commentating on the world amateur boxing tournament.

The only way to salvage his career is by getting a new trainer.

Either that or a full time mental health worker and metal chin implants.

I think he needs to basically remove himself from the situation where he's been for the past few years, which is that the expectations are he is maybe 2-3 good wins from world championship contention, he should also detach himself for the time being from promoters who need a return on the investment and steer him towards world title contention, and he should then do what hughie fury does, fight here and there, stay busy, no titles, no expectations, no pressure. Put together ten wins over the course of a year with no hype, no bill-topping or titles, and then reassess at the end of 2016 when the heavyweight title picture will have dramatically changed and a lot of currently unbeaten fighters will have losses on their records. Basically go on a George foreman style comeback away from the limelight.

I think its time for price to give it up. He's had a few bad losses and has nowhere else to go . Its a sad way to go but he has to think about his health first and foremost

He just doesn't have the intangibles. He's way too fragile and really lacks confidence now. He did before when he was doing interviews about how he thought pulev would beat him. Plus he's very high risk low reward now.

If he's any good at plumbing he should move to Canada. Plumbers here drive expensive cars and live in big houses. He could box part-time here if he likes. Otherwise, he should hang them up. He's 32. Too late to change old habits.

Exactly.... Unless his brain scans come back irregular he'll carry on and keep earning, hoping for a bit of luck and that one big payday.

Incredible really isn't it that 3 years on from many of us thinking Price was the next big thing, most now think he's gone at the game and should retire. Just goes to show that dodgy match-making can really damage a fighter.

What was dodgy? - sooner or later Price was going to have to box somebody who was going to fight back, and Thompson is hardly a knock out merchant.

He wasn't ready for Thompson and shouldn't have been put straight back in with him after the first loss. He needed to be build more gradually and stepping up from fighting Audley Harrison and Matt Skelton straight into a fight with a guy who had been competitive against Klitchko in 2 fights less than a year earlier was poor matchmaking. Being a good promotor is about taking a fighter up in levels gradually and making the right matches at the right time. That wasn't what happened here.

Crazy matchmaking that - the rematch after such a devastating loss was hard to fathom. Price needed to regain some confidence. Facing off against the guy who had sparked you out, was a huge gamble.

To be fair, Maloney made it totally clear before the rematch happened that he thought it was a bad idea and didnt want it, but Price was insistent on it.
