It's a real head-scratcher.
Price has never succeeded beyond domestic level, so he's delusional to think domestic level is beneath him. He never even managed to win the Lonsdale Belt outright.
Price has a lot of talent but cannot execute that talent. I think hes more rounded that Tyson Fury and more skilled. I think Price is just gunshy and certainly has no chin. Other than thats he's not a bad heavyweight in this era of crap.
I dunno about that man. Price's footwork is shite. Fury has very good mobility for a guy of his size and also good handspeed and stamina. Boxing skill wise I think they're fairly similar although Fury uses his jab better for sure. Fury also has more of a natural fighting spirit and is less scared of getting hit I think. Price obviously is the bigger puncher though. That's one area he definietly doesnt lack.
fury just looks so awkward and people can't seem to get past that.

Yeah. I think aside from Fury's reach, the thing that klitschko was troubled most by was Tyson's mobility. He was shocked by how agile he was for his size. I think that has always been one of wlads biggest attributes aswell, how light he was on his feet for a guy of his size. He then comes across a guy that's even taller and longer than he is and just as agile, if not maybe a little more.

Well the waster he is fighting at Goodison is someone who he could have splattered on his debut so he is going back far far more levels than Dave Allen with that one.
I'd expect Price to beat Dave Allen but he will benefit more from fighting a young hungry fighter than some guy he would have blasted in a round years ago.
