Fury vs Price

[snake33]

So lets say Fury fights Price. They have history in the ams.

And while Fury is a talented defensive fighter (on par with Vitali really) but maybe slower now since the layoff.
And Price lands a lottery punch like he almost did against Povetkin.
Would that be it ? Fury goes back to cocaine and Wilder and Joshua float rumors for 3-4 years.

I think Fury will trim down and focus and win but who knows. He should spar 100 rounds with a good jabber.

They could have a rematch.

It certainly will NOT happen in August.

Fury is on the undercard of the Frampton fight.

Fury vs Price is not an undercard fight in the UK.

Ridiculous to suggest that it might be next.

I would think that they would want to get Fury more acclimated to taking a heavyweight's punch before he's put in with a banger like Price.

Munchkin Seferi was hardly a threat to Fury's chin.

Price would be.

[snake33]

Fury vs Price could be undercard. Price is kinda damaged goods at this point.
Still dangerous, no doubt. That was my original point then wasn't it?

Still I think Fury will mess with him for 6-7 rounds and then Price will take a glass jaw drop later on.

If it's a bout with even a hint of intrigue---heavy handed Price landing a bomb on the slowed, still rusty Fury's jaw---then there's no chance it's relegated to undercard status on Aug. 18.

Despite Price's reputation for having one of boxing's most brittle chins, a match with Fury is big stuff in the UK.

There would certainly be more interest in it than Frampton-Jackson.

[DrDuke]

Can be interesting. Two big fellas, one can't use his advantages of size. Good conditioned Fury would have outboxed him for sure, but what about now? And the next Price's weakness is obviously his chin along with the inability to withstand pressure, but Fury isn't so heavy-hitting, as we know. While Price's ability to land bombs hasn't gone anywhere.

It's all about timing in boxing,Price fought well last time out,Fury fought terribly,so it could be interesting.

[Thomastearns]

Fury will still be fighting Price and Bellew - but only with his mouth. He's more or less finished as a force and is hoping Warren can get him safely to a big payday. Which he will.

Climbing that mountain / or getting lucky a second time is almost impossible now unless Wilder and Joshua decide to sail off into the sunset. And then there's the rest..

... which is why it has absolutely no chance of happening any time soon

It won't be. Because it won't happen for the very reason you have stated.

Fury needs one or two more patsies before taking on someone who might get lucky and upset the apple cart.

Completely agree,Fury is a million miles away from competing at any kind of serious level,there are several British heavies that i'd say would flatten him right now.

To be honest I'd be surprised if that fight ever happens, Price has insane power, way to risky an obstacle whilst on the way to a £20m payday against AJ.

True,who would have imagined that despite all of Price's losses and problems that he would be considered too much of a risk for the undefeated,lineal heavyweight champion,.Wazza will be looking to make the AJ fight with some very careful matchmaking along the way,very similar to the way Frank Bruno was all those years ago,a few ex champs,records that look good to the casual like his last opponent.If crowds were made up of serious fans very few would attend these farces.Tyson's dad was raving about Seferi and how he'd only ever lost to a world champion .Tyson will have to get himself fitter than he has ever been to cope with Joshua and Wilder and that will be extremely difficult or near impossible.

Fury has already ducked Price once, so I can't see him fancying it now, even though Price's chin is weaker than balsa wood.

Price is the same size as Fury, hits very hard & is under 50 years old, so he'll be very low down the options list for Fury's next opponent.

Hello Snake,

What do you mean by this? Are you saying Fury & Vitali Klitschko have a similar style?

Thanks

Fury has already ducked Price once, so I can't see him fancying it now, even though Price's chin is weaker than balsa wood.

So even though Tyson Fury was willing to fight Wladimir Klitschko, you’re claiming that he has previously “ducked” David Price and still fears him?

What has Wladimir Klitschko got to do with this?

He ducked Price long before he fought WK; when he was more of an up & comer.

I'm not saying he spools up the toilet roll every time he sees Price's face on the TV, but he didn't want any part of Price as an up & comer & judging by the standard of his last opponent, I very much doubt he wants to fight Price now, even if David is damaged goods.

The reason why I mentioned Wladimir Klitschko’s name in my question was for comparison purposes.

Let me elaborate things... it seems strange for someone to be brave enough to face a dangerous lion, whilst being terrified of a tiny domestic house cat, which is essentially how I interpreted your derogatory allegation against Tyson Fury.

Also, it seems you don't understand the historical timelines...

David Price captured the BBBofC title during 2012; almost a year after Tyson Fury vacated the title.

Tyson Fury was engaging in a WBC heavyweight title eliminator around the same time David Price initially captured the BBBofC from John McDermott and then defended it against Sam Sexton.

Prior to David Price winning the BBBofC title, Tyson Fury had already beaten John McDermott twice and Dereck Chisora (with ‘Del Boy’ having previously defeated Sam Sexton).

A year later, David Price got KO’d twice by Tony Thompson. This is really basic stuff!

Therefore, I don’t see any reason why Tyson Fury, who had arrived on the world stage, should have possessed any desire to return to domestic level to face David Price. That’s not “ducking” in my book.

We’ll agree to disagree about your assertion of Tyson Fury being too scared to face David Price.

By the way, let me ask a similar question related to a similar scenario, do you also feel that Anthony Joshua is “ducking” Nathan Gorman?

[Thomastearns]

Back in 2012 Tyson Fury chose to vacate his British and Commonwealth heavyweight belts rather than face his mandatory David Price.

In 2018 Tyson Fury will do his utmost to avoid a clash with David Price. It's a fight he was never confident of winning, rightly so.

It would be unfair to accuse Fury of physical cowardice, no one who steps into a ring with gloves on can ever be called a coward, but he still feels, quite rightly, that Price is too much risk for too little reward. That's fair enough, but he spoils everything by disrespecting his opponents by continually shooting his mouth off. And then refuses to back up his words!

It's nobody's fault but his own that he blew a massive rematch payday by reneging on the rematch clause against Wladimir. It's nobody's fault but his own that he failed a drugs test. It's nobody's fault but his own that he couldn't maintain his excellent physical conditioning after that Klitschko fight.

He was always one to carefully chose his way to the title/big payday, but this time he needs a bigger miracle.

Instead of facing David Price, he engaged in a world title eliminator.

The choice wasn't a challenging one to make.

Some of your other remarks are irrelevant to any of the posts I've submitted in this thread, so I'll refrain from discussing them.

I do think you're wrong though. It seems a strong possibility for Tyson Fury to face David Price during the current calendar year.

The only thing Vitali and Fury have in common is they both have unusual styles. Their styles are not similar at all.

They are also 6’7. Contrary to what Fury claims.

No, not at all. Vitali was precise and Fury is quirky. But, in the end, they acheive the same result. Hard to hit clean.
Except when Fury uppercutted himself.

There's no confusion on my part.

I know full well why you mentioned Wladimir Klitschko, but I just didn't see the relevance, as he fought WK for the Unified titles a good few years later.

I've never once said that Fury was actually scared of Price; I said he did not want any part of him.

Price v Fury at that time was a 'hot' fight that would have been pretty big domestically, circa 2012, so why not do it: There are a million sanctioning bodies whom he could have gone onto have an eliminator with if he was that good?

History is littered with fighters taking those kind of big fights as a stop-off before going to even bigger honours.

I also know what happened to Price subsequently as it is a matter of record & also bears no relevance to the point in time that I am referring to.

Ironically, the two of them squaring off now is potentially as intruiging as it was back then for different reasons, but I'm willing to bet that Fury wouldn't take the fight now either, even though Price's chin is made of jelly.

Also, Anthony Joshua v Nathan Gorman is not a 'hot' fight & probably never will be & again is in no way directly comparable to the situation Fury was in back in 2012ish.

Are you really that dim that you cannot see the difference between those two bouts in terms of risk v reward?

[Mimmy]

It would be a great fight if this was next up but that isnt going to happen.

The risk is too great imo, If this was Fury straight after the Klit fight there is absolutely no way Price wins. But we are not talking that scenario now. If this was to happen in August this year in my opinion its a 50-50 fight. You have to give Price a big chance but the likelyhood is that Fury would win, but thats not to say he would. It would be Price's best opportunity at fighting Fury and possibly the only opportunity he has of beating him.

Fury wouldnt face Price next, not a chance in hell, hes not wanting a 50-50 fight, Fury will be wanting a 99-1 fight, and that purely sensible for him.
