David Price V Tyson Fury

[OH_RickNMorty]

The fighters meet at 245 LBS.

They are both in their prime. (Fury — arguably — from 2015).

Statistics;

PRICE
6’ 8” (Height)
245 LBS (Weight)
82” (Reach)

FURY
6’ 9” (Height)
245 LBS (Weight)
85” (Reach)

I think Fury would ultimately win by MD or UD, but Price would put up a decent fight. What do y’all think?!

[skanksta]

If it was the David Price of Round 4 vs Tony Thompson and nobody, but nobody, knew what we now know - then Price would have had a decent chance early.

Any other hypothetical and this poll is ridiculous - of course the Gypsy King wins.

[jamamb]

fury definitely , weve seem him come back from 3 years of nobody to outbox and last vs wilder, who is a much more dangerous fighter then price

price is 0-6 above british level

[oogiebe]

Not sure what this poll was to accomplish. A shot fighter v. an almost prime Fury.

[Boxerbeetle]

Would Fury definitely not duck this time?

[Ruthless-RKO]

Had to..

[Oiky]

Tyson

[jamamb]

more interesting is the 23 year old fury (already looking 35) of pajkic vs a prime price

obviously in both there primes furys much better,and better then anyone who beat price

My mistake. Poster said both in their prime. Still Fury.

[gilgamesh]

This is one of the few Heavyweights that I'm certain Fury would KO.

[SenorPipino]

A cocky Fury decides to fight the entire bout with his hands behind his back and his chin jetting out.

The slower Price still can't connect and is behind on points late, even though Fury hasn't landed, or even thrown, a single punch. Fury is doing a Willie Pep.

Suddenly Deontay Wilder, sitting ringside, bellows the dreaded insult "Dosser!" and Fury turns to glare at his arch rival.

Price senses it's finally his moment and leaps in with a right hand, which barely grazes Fury, but still sends the one time lineal champion thudding to the canvas.

No miracle resurrection for Fury this time. Referee Jack Reiss, still stung by criticism over his slooooow performance in some forgotten prior bout, reaches the count of 10 in just under 3 seconds, and David Price pulls off a dramatic comeback win.

Later that night, Price and Wilder quickly complete negotiations for a $100 million megabout to be held inside a Tuscaloosa, Alabama high school gym.

A loser for the first time in his pro career, Fury is content to sing Danny Boy at the post-fight press conference and challenge Eddie Hearn to an arm wrestling match for $50 million.

Not surprisingly, Hearn turns this generous offer down.

I saw the coming upset (Thompson) when Price fought the 40'something Matt Skelton. If the old man could land on Price I knew Thompson could kayo Price.

With Fury I saw a man who was always improving. With Price, he was the same as he was in the amateurs. Back in 2013 I have little doubt Fury would have won because--- as we found out, Price had no stamina and had an iffy chin.

Fury would have survived the early onslaught and drug Price into the 5th-6th rounds and start tee'ing off. Back then Fury dug in his punches a bit more than he does now, so I have little doubt he'd of kayoed Price too.

Price would land nothing on fury but price vs. Wilder would be a good fight, i'd favour price heavily.

[gilgamesh]

Price would land nothing on fury but price vs. Wilder would be a good fight, i'd favour price heavily.

Why?

I mean he'd have a minor puncher's chance, but I think Wilder KO 1 is more likely than a Price victory.

I enjoyed that

Id rather see 400lb fury vs prime price.

Muchas gracias.

I thought you were going to tell me "You're fired!"

And yes, it's all fantasy. Just in case someone seriously accuses me of fabricating it, a la il Duce.

Punchers' chance only for Mr Price.

[DrDuke]

The Gypsy King no doubt. He is a much better boxer, he even can knock Price out despite not having a really hard punching power. Price doesn't use his size and reach, his chin is glass, his stamina sucks. He has only a puncher's chance, but does he really have it? Fury was never out and regained his ground twice against the hardest puncher of the current era.

[candyslim]

That's true but some fighters' chins seem to improve with age. Ok so they develop the experience and the know-how to avoib getting caught so much, but some also seem to respond better when they do get caught. Wladimir Klitschko would be a prime example, anybody think that uppercut from AJ delivered less force that those punches from Purity or Brewster?

No disgrace getting pole-axed by Wilder but back in the day when Price was regarded with respect, Fury was floored by Steve Cunningham who wasn't even considered a big puncher at cruiserweight. I'd say Price would definitely have had a puncher's chance.

[dagilechia]

can't believe this topic is serious

[SenorPipino]

It would only be serious if Price somehow managed to land.

[Thomastearns]

I'd go for Price, but it's a close thing. Could be similar to Fury v Wilder. Remember Fury once surrendered his UK belt rather than face Price.

On form Fury is obviously miles ahead, but where two fighters know each other well from sparring this matters a bit less - like in a football derby where table position doesn't count. Price would also be at his most confident against a boxer he knows well, and that's Fury.

And of course, a confident David Price is a different David Price to what we are used to. I'm sure there's plenty of gym stories to back that up. I'd love to see it, and I'm sure Price would too.

[Enlightened-One]

I'd go for Price, but it's a close thing. Could be similar to Fury v Wilder. Remember Fury once surrendered his UK belt rather than face Price.

David Price rejected £100K to face Tyson Fury.

Fury then vacated his British title to chase world honours. In fact, six months after vacating his British title, he won a WBC world title eliminator.

In stark contrast, shortly after capturing Fury’s former British crown, David Price suffered two career ending losses.

You can’t seriously suggest that a man that deserved to defeat Deontay Wilder and Wladimir Klitschko was “scared” to fight the robotic and highly-vulnerable David Price?

[oogiebe]

Fury would have a field day with Price, today, tomorrow, yesterday...He could actually KO Price, which I would bet on.
