Price deserves a shot? Based on what? Beating Sam Sexton and Matt Skelton 4 years ago?

He deserves a shot because he's lost to guys who have taken PED's. He deserves a fair shot and he's not a bad boxer.

He still lost. I like Price, but he needs to beat a fringe contender before fighting for a world title.

He wouldn't be the worst title contender in history and he'd be more of a challenge than a fair few in that WBO top 15, but to say he deserves it is a bit of a stretch.

I agree with this. A win over a genuine euro level lad, like Hammer, is in order before Price gets a shot.

This matchup is an abomination... Teper looked so confident before the Price fight it was ridiculous. The fat German boy was was laughing his ass off.. He walked right in and bombed Price out like he was hanging up a coat.. Even Malik Scott beat Tony Thompson..

Lennox Lewis was so confident the 1st Thompson-Price fight was a fluke -- just like his Rahman fight -- that he advised Price "He caught you behind the ear with and equilibrium shot. That's not going to happen again. Let's get him right back. He's an old man. We'll knock him out cold and wipe that stain off your record and we'll go after bigger fish." ... Lewis is no Emmanuel Steward when it come to judging fistic talent
