Fitness was always an issue.
Price is fit as a fiddle - he could do more miles than Mo Farah or more squat thrusts than Brian Jacks, but the moment he steps between the ropes in a competitive fight then 90% of it immediately disappears through nervous energy.
He has already achieved so much I genuinely don't understand why he puts himself through it.
Price used to throw really savage body shots, hooks with both hands, uppercuts. He threw the very rare clubbing right against his opponents glove and never followed up. That was a really bad fight
I didn't see the fight but from what everyone is saying Price didn't show much.
They are clearly just trying to engineer one last payday now as he still does have some marketability and bizarrely I do think a fight with someone like Chisora would sell well. Obviously one with Fury would although it'd likely be hopelessly one-sided.
It's just strange how he's gone so far downhill from back in 2013. I mean, I know he wasn't an absolute world beater then but he was dispatching guys at British level with ease and it's hard to imagine he'd be able to do that now.
