I don't consider Price ready for the big time, but he's ready to move past the domestic old timers.

Riddick Blowe wrote:I don't even think Price will be able to get fights at domestic level even if he wanted to stay there for a while. Who can he defend his title against that would be meaningful? An 80 year old Skelton? A chinless, 60 year old never-was in Harrison? Sprott? Do people really want to see that? OK, it might be interesting for a few rounds (if Sprott even wants the fight) but Sprott would just get decapitated eventually.

The sort of guy he needs to face next needs to be euro-class like Sosnowski or someone, but the trouble is NOONE WILL WANT THE FIGHT. Can Maloney offer enough money to convince these guys on cash alone? But then where is their motivation? I said on the current scene that Price's best chance will be through some sort of eliminator, but I have no idea how the sanctioning bodies approach these any more.

Failing a competitive one he needs a teak-tough American trial horse who can give him rounds. Who fits the bill here? Who is today's Everett Martin? I don't even know.

Prepare for a long period of frustration as Price's career stalls due to noone wanting to face him.

By the way, Price crushes Fury, not even close.

David is a real roll model for boxing and is doing everything the right way. I am more than ever convince big David Price will be world champ with in the next 18/24 months and rule for a long time.

There is no chance David Price will be World champion 18/24 months from now unless a meteor fell from the sky and wiped out the Top 10 Heavyweights in the world.

Having said that Price will crush most of the domestic, commonwealth and european level fighters not named Haye, Fury, Pulev, Bermaine Stiverne, Helenius, Mike Perez, Denis Boytsov and Mariusz Wach.

I would like to see him fight a few of the following over the next 12 months: Alexander Dimitrenko, Francesco Pianeta, Alexander Ustinov, Edmund Gerber, Ruslan Chagaev, Manuel Charr, Albert Sosnowski and Timur Ibragimov.

Oliver McCall, James Toney or Zack Page I guess.

Plus, I suspect a lot of British prospects might turn down the chance to challenge for the British for as long as Price holds it. Towers definitely isn't ready, for example. If Harrison beats Adams this weekend, then he's probably nutty enough to fight Price. On the flip side, if Adams wins then I reckon he'll probably want to mix with some of the other British Heavies first and build up more experience.

Price might just have to bide his time and fight obscure imports and eliminators until he's no1 contender for Pulev's Euro strap.

Price is going the right way and still a master piece in the making and it will be done the right way. But i do enjoy reading all you so call experts maybe i should employ one of you as our matchmaker.

No i have no trouble with any one discussing fighters and i like to read what others think but let no forget there boxing and there heavyweight boxing and building a hw is far more harder than any other weight. Most just build there guys up and into fighting for a world title, We in the Price team want to fight and win the title not just turn up for a pay day. Rome was not build in a day nor was any HW Champion.
