His chin isn't up to it, he was super-tense. there are so many things that need work that it's difficult to see him coming again at world level.

At British level he can still be in some really good fights, it's just whether these 2 defeats have destroyed his confidence and broke his heart, which I get a strong suspicion they have done.

On another note, it was harrowing seeing the interview with Frank Maloney after the fight, I feel for the guy and think he probably should step out of the limelight for a while as he really doesn't look to be in a good place. Really sad to see.

Originally I thought Price had Fury's number but now I think it's 50/50. Whoever lands first basically.

Both would land. The difference is that Fury has shown he can cope with being hurt, knows how to survive and despite suspect conditioning in the past has proved he is naturally pretty fit and has savvy. Price being on queer street for me was as much to do with fitness as it was Thompson's blows. Put it this way in a slug fest I'd fancy Fury to bomb out Thompson. As soon as Price is on the back foot he looks done for. Before he fought Thompson I got carried away with Price and thought he looked unstoppable but the truth was he was fighting tomato cans. Skelton and Harrison could barely draw breath. Obviously Team Price got totally carried away to. The jump to Thompson from that is huge.

I think you'd be in a very, very small minority.

Tiny, in fact.

I'd dispute that. I would make Fury a big favorite to beat Thompson inside the distance. Anyone trying to build up Thompson is deluded. He exposed Price for sure but outside of that had never really beaten anyone of note and is in shocking condition. The basis of his reputation was taking two tankings off Wlad Klitschko. I'd actually fancy Chisora, Johnson and Cunningham to beat Thompson on points.

Pricefighter or plumbing ?

They've got more money than most professionals full stop.

If I were Price, I'd be quietly hoping Fury is beaten by Haye in September and then look to have a fight with him (Fury) towards the end of the year, or early 2014 after a rebuild/career-ending fight versus the winner of Towers -vs- Lucas Browne.

Cap wrote:The big mistake was taking on Thompson again right away. It's an old story that few fighters come back from a KO loss to beat the guy what kayo'd them in the first place. Jim Coffey, the Rosscommon Giant was the classic example. Knocked out by Frank Moran, he was convinced by others it was a fluke occurance so he fought him again and got stopped again.

Price needs 10 or 15 fights under his belt against something more than stiffs to learn his craft and rebuild his confidence. The big lad looked like a complete novice out there. Whatever he'd been taught seemed to be forgotten once the bell rang. I was shouting for him to use his jab and stay off the ropes, but he couldn't hear me through my PC screen. I thought maybe he'd broken his left hand in the first round. In the 4th round I don't think he landed more than 2 punches. Seconds into the 5th round I was just waiting for Thompson to land a few hard shots that would force the ref to stop it.

He was never more than domestic class, I was amazed more people couldn't see it.

He needs a style similar to Frank Bruno, grab them when they are in close and bully them
with fouls - he will never ever get disqualified in Liverpool, develop a ramrod jab, fight ugly
and dirty and wear them down, what the eff was he doing last night prancing around the
ring? It was lunacy.

His guts and taking a rematch with Thompson and his humility has made me a fan - and I never
thought I would ever say that. He needs to get back to the drawing board and get a style
like Frank Bruno to take him further - I look forward to seeing the big fornicator coming back to smash
some heads.
