Stiverne is definitely a big puncher, but Price was rocked on several other occasions in the amateurs, and his legs went a bit in his pro debut.

It definitely will happen. The question is, at what level, and when?

As for Price? he is still untested but certainly packs a big punch.

atm i have the domestic ratings like this,

Del Boy (British Champ)
Sprott
Perez
Price
Sexton
Rogan
Fury
Towers
Mcdermot
Larry O
Dallas
Howe

Sprott.

of that list Sprott, Sexton and Rogan are the only ones deserving of a high ranking because of records and achievements. All the rest are based on potential and not much else as they havent been tested (incl Fury)

If you put Sexton as deserving then you have to put Del Boy there seeing as he has beaten him twice

Felt quite bad for Dallas last night, that was a nasty KO.

Thankfully it came quickly and he didn't take a prolonged shellacking prior to it.

As for Price's chin, the same sort of stigma's been attached to both Haye and Wlad for as long as they've been campaigning and the occasional loss doesn't seem to have closed their books. A dodgy set of whiskers is one thing, it's another when they're set behind pedigree and a tremendous punch. He stacks up well against the rest of the other big undefeated europeans coming through.

It's obviously worrying seeing him waylaid as a young am, but he still looks to be far superior to the likes of Fury.

indeed

Tall, good skills, good power, question marks over his chin. Wouldn't be surprised to see him link up with Emanuel Steward in the Future.

Tyson Fury might do that instead. The connection is already there. But, I suppose, if Price gets Manny Steward to train him, it adds another dimension to the Fury-Price rivalry.

Looking at the two of them I think Steward would be more interested in working with Price. you're right though, it would add a nice edge to their rivalry.

Well, you are proving my point then aren't you?

I was really impressed with Prices' jab. Looks like we might have a good one here.

Franny Smith is a good Coach and Pricey is still learning, he picks bits up off everyone! He's a very intelligent lad! He's also gonna become heavyweight champion of the world, also people talking about his chin?? Show me a heavyweight bar McCall who gets belted in the chin with a big shot and doesn't go over?? These are huge guys!! They land and someone is going to sleep! Fact!

Is he his old Amateur coach?

Think that Franny Smith is a Solly coach for a long time, I always thought that Tont Challenor was his AM coach but dont know for sure

After looking at the video it seems Price hasnt changed his style very much. What do you guys think he seems bit predictable in what he does

I like the look of Price but people shouldnt get carried away with his win over Dallas,that fight was never going pasT 3/4 rounds even if Dallas had plenty time instead of late sub....his style hasnt changed much since the amatuers,im sure he will get caught with big shots along the way,until then we dont know how he will react...After the Klitschkos&Haye its a very weak division,so who knows.Like i say i like how Price is coming along&knocking people out at this level&do i think he can become a World Champion...NO WAY!!

This man is so right, Lennox Lewis was ko 2 times and he still came back to regain his titles and let not forget Haye as well.
Lennox was one of the most intelligent fighter i have worked with and i have to say the same about Price he not a Lennox Lewis but he is the best young heavyweight out there today and i believe will be a world champion inside the next 18 months
He and Franny Smith learn quick and are not afraid to ask question or listing to other something a lot of people do not do in boxing today.

Price's defence looked pretty tight Saturday night too which is a positive, he covered up pretty well when Dallas did come at him.

Any idea if the McDermott final eliminator will be Price's next fight Frank, or will Price have another fight in the interim?
