Price would be better going back to basics. Restarting his entire career, rebuilding his style. That crap worked well in the amateurs, but not in the professionals. Too stiff legged, chin too high, robotic. He still fights the exact same way as he did when he first started. Fighters are supposed to improve, not remain the same.

David Price is kind of like Duane Bobick. He can do well if the other guy doesn't fight back.

That's a blast from the past if there ever was one.... I'd say that the comparisons are valid.... However, Bobick didn't lose until he fought Norton and the people who beat him were superior to most anything Price has fought and lost to.

He's probably eating a takeaway!

Well, he must be doing something to get that Odlanier Solis physique that he's sporting now. :TU:

Hell match him up with the winner of Gorman-Akinlade, why the hell not.

He may never fight a Fury, but its next best thing.

Might be hard for him to really continue. I don't think any promoter will want to lose money building up wins for him. He could maybe fight again against another heavyweight looking for a top 50 test, but with a likely same result. I think he has become a €15,000 fighter now, so it might not be worth full time commitment. You might see him as fodder for a few more fights.

I'm assuming that David Price will probably get himself a new trainer based on Dave Coldwell's comments after the Christian Hammer defeat and he’ll probably also replace Sauerland with a different promoter.

Personally-speaking, I’d like David Price to challenge the winner of the British title fight between Sam Sexton and Gary Cornish, since he’d be expected to beat both of those guys.

Price’s problems are mostly psychological, since the pressure of competing in fights seems too much for him, causing him to run out of gas prematurely. When he can address that issue, he may end up being a half-decent European level fighter that will be used as an ideal stepping-stone for future prospects.

I’d also like to see Tyson Fury have a couple of easy comeback bouts against opponents of David Prices’ ilk, since it’s going to take a little time for the former world heavyweight champ to get rid of his ring rust and also regain the sort of fitness levels he had attained for the Klitschko bout.

So I really do think that David Price can continue to earn a fairly decent living if he continues his career, but perhaps he should abandon any ambitions related to capturing the world heavyweight title, since this is clearly unrealistic.

By all accounts, David Price is supposed to be a really nice guy, so I’d be pleased to see him continue earning a decent wage from the sport, as long as he doesn’t keep getting hurt.

At some you will want him to step or you will think he could beat someone who's higher ranked. It will be only a matter of time you asking him to step again.

Given Sexton and Cornish are currently fighting for the British title, he might as well go for that.

No, he should humble himself and aim lower.

Hasn't David Price already beat Sam Sexton with ease? So why go lower?

What happens when he wins it and Chisora or Whyte come after him?

He needs to rebuild from the bottom and never have a major step up in competition again.

He's not ready for the British title. He needs to stop thinking that he's a big shot.

Drop way down in competition, stay active and build himself back up slowly.

The British belt is one of the nicest ones you could wear, the sparkly enemal would really bring out his eyes

Chisora and Whyte are on a higher level that David Price. Dillian Whyte vacated the British title, because he has bigger fish to fry and Dereck Chisora has already held that title also.

I do agree with your point though, but if David Price has already dominated and KO’d Sexton inside four rounds, he shouldn’t really be targeting lesser foes than that.

However, I do concede, he’s clearly not ready for the likes of Whyte or Chisora and he shouldn’t be looking to face European level fighters at this stage of the rebuilding process, since his confidence will be utterly shot.

Or possibly ever again.

That sort of ambition should be totally out of his mind, until he has at least beaten an EU title level fighter or two.

Price main problem is that he can't take a shot. That's always been the case. He was down quite often in the amateurs even though they wore headgear back then.

The stoppages mostly result from being gassed.

I don't know what you are talking about. He may have put on 30lbs but he certainly was not fat. Did you watch the fight? He was not fat & the extra weight was planned by his team when they took over a year ago. First order of business was for him to put on 30lbs. He was not fat by any means but the extra weight did not help him absorb punches better. He was not anywhere remotely close to being obese. Unless I missed the sarcasm in your post...
