He has a lot going for him. He has weaknesses but I think he can improve on them.

Price is a great fighter to follow. He’s likeable. He hits hard. He’s not unbeatable.

When you follow a boxer, the ups and downs…the highs and lows…are what makes it so rewarding.

Taking that as a compliment.

Terry is my favourite current sports writer bar none. He works very hard on his craft and only rarely do I reach the end of one of his articles without having taken something from it. People with a desire to see boxing well represented at the highbrow end of national media could do worse than sing his praises.

I'll Paypal you.

Ez, I did Peter for BM and it’s since been put on the ‘Scene. Tyson and Haye are interesting guys, you get the sense that both are mentally tough, but with the odd chink in the armour. One of Haye’s great gifts is his single-mindedness, but it can veer into a negative form of stubbornness if left unchecked and it made it easier for Wlad pre-fight. I think Booth’s good for him in this respect.

Tyson’s going to be a tough nut to crack mentally as he believes he’s fulfilling a divine purpose and is genetically predisposed to fighting, and winning fights, so you’re going to have to really break him to beat him, but once beaten it might be a long round back, unless it’s on points or a controversial stoppage.

Peter’s a great addition, he’s a relative newcomer yet he has the magic eye when it comes to corner work and, similar to Haye and Booth, it seems the perfect union of boxer and trainer. I’ve done a bit with Billy Graham about the respective corners. I’ll post the link once it goes live.

The Peter Fury article was a bit of an open goal, to be honest, as he people were asking questions about his former life anyway so it was just a question of contacting him and asking if he’d like to address those questions before the national press started digging. He said “Yes” without a moment’s hesitation and was an open book, which is good for a lazy dude like me.

Here’s the ‘Scene version: http://www.BS.com/peter-fury-o ... ter--69242.

Lennox is not even a trainer so why was he needed,nor is maloney although he thinks he knows everything about training. I trained Julius Francis for years and when we fought Tyson, Maloney brought Harold Knight in, Lewis's co trainer, because he thought he was a good american trainer and would add something to the camp. No disrespect to Harold but it done f....all for us.The bond was with Julius and me, no one else. The fault is not with Franny but with the Management who usually get to call the shots, Maloney got it wrong. Price can come back with Fran as well as with any other decent trainer he works with. If it goes tits up dont blame the trainer David, look at other things. Good luck to both of them.

Mark, your situation was a little different but there are definitely similarities. I have no idea what Frank was thinking bringing in 'The Shadow' for the Tyson fight, it made no sense and I remember thinking at the time that if I were in your shoes I'd be livid. With Price, bringing in Lennox as a mentor wasn't a bad idea in principle. His interference mid-fight though was almost criminal and if Lennox doesn't realise that himself now he's not as switched on as I think he is.

Do you not agree that if Price himself reasons that a move away from Franny is in his best interests that he'd be a fool to stay?
