How good is Price, really?
Hew can bang, thats for sure. But his Olympic "pedigree" perhaps isn't as good as it sounds. He won one on a stoppage, then won the next (and his medal) due to a pull out because of an injury, then he was stopped by the very talented Italian Roberto Cammarelle.
He looks decent as a pro, but hasn't, yet, really answered many questions (or indeed, been asked to.)
IF and it's a massive, King Sized ultra deluxe "IF" Harrison can get a mojo going, Harrison may well have the advantage here.
Basically, I'd say if it's the same Harrison who won prizefighter, this would, at least, be a decent fight.
Price did stop the world number one at the time, it weren't just your usual Joe Bloggs.
I agree that Pricey hasn't really had much in terms of competition, but I do feel he's looked tidy in despatching his opposition. He's looked good technically, and can bang.
I feel he should fight McDermott, and if he comfortably beats him (which I think he would), I'd get him in an eliminator for the British.
With regards to fighting Audley. I'd like to see it happen. I feel Pricey would hurt Audley quite easily, and we all know what happens when Audley gets hit hard. Pricey wouldn't be able to start slow though, because that's playing into the joker's hands.

More chance of him taking up Dentistry. He needs to just GO AWAY, great Amature, Woeful Pro, please Aud don't bore/con us any more.

Perspective is the key word here.
Haye is probably the 3rd best Heavyweight in the world right now. Aud should not have been in the ring with him.
Price on the other hand has done nothing as a pro and isn't even top 5 in Britain right now. Him fighting Audley would be a step up for Price.
I don't see the problem with such a match up. Price is good but he is no Wlad is he???

Maybe he did, I don't know. So what if he did anyway?
I don't get your point. Are you saying Price is on a similar level to Haye then, or even Wlad???
In time, he can become a good Heavy in the current scene but right now he is way off and has done nothing as a pro.
