Price is area level too.

He's not daft: there's a reason why he isn't taking any risks at the moment.

David Price knows his level.

He isn't going to risk fighting someone with a pulse again, because he knows another defeat & he will be a regular fixture on Journeyman Street.

Surely he's got enough in him to beat the likes of Miller and Charr. Or at least people with better records than 30-25 or whatever that last clown he faced has.

Like, if he faced say a run of decent but easily beatable names like Charr, Washington, Scott and Miller he'd automatically be in title contention again. At the moment he's wasting time with scraps Hughie Fury wouldn't bother with.

Price has no confidence in himself.

He's trying to convince himself with all the calling out of Joshua, who has gone right past him in the reckoning, but deep down, I think Price knows the game is up for him & he's just trying to bag a title shot without risking himself too much.

Why am I the only one who thinks Miller is half decent

He hasn't beat even a top 50 opponent yet. His best win is arguably against a washed up Audley back in 2012...

Instead since getting KO'd by Thompson and Terper he keeps digging up East European builders to knock out. He should be looking at guys in the top 30, like Ruiz Jr, Miller... hell even someone like Charr.

David Price knows his level.

Apparently Allen is about 22 stone

2/3 weeks notice for Allen? Remember the two days notice they gave Dallas? Should have seen the writing on the wall then.

I agree with the 'Price is trying to convince himself he still has it' talk. It's not a case of him blagging it either, I think he genuinely has talked himself in to believing he has a chance. Hes trying all kinds of methods, denial, weight gain etc
First time he gets hit back/someone takes his best shot, he's back to where he was unfortunately.

Hammer upset Price's conqueror Erkan Teper tonight, but he's not quite the puncher the Turk is (he couldn't stop that Junior Costa guy who everyone beats up), and would probably be less dangerous. It would also be a way for Price to indirectly avenge the Teper loss.

Probably still too risky and not lucrative enough from Price's cashing out out perspective though...I imagine that it will be more opponents like his last two.

Nobody can take his best shot.

Apart from a 65 yr old Tony Thompson?
