dookus - I can appreciate your rational and understand the logic and it still leaves Price in the position of having to box men with little firepower so he doesn't get beaten inside the distance and/or freeze through apprehension. He will know himself that he is tip toeing around the division and having to pick and choose the men he faces does not really make for a career that stands up to scrutiny/ is bona fide. He had trouble holding a hard punch as an amateur and it was noted by some on here even when he was bowling people over. If his handlers do manouver him around the division and avoid all danger - where is it he's being manouvered toward?

Well, confidence builders are usually against men with little firepower and that's what Price needs after 2 KO losses.

It is true that a career consisting of picking and choosing men does not stand up to scrutiny, but he's not a good enough fighter overall to be thinking about a proper legacy; and that goes for most fighters who aren't at the top end of the game.

The best thing for him is if his handlers manoeuvre him towards the money - build his confidence again, get him to relax, get him to work on not getting hit, then put him in some lucrative fights. This is a business, after all, and even if you can't be the best there is still money to be made.
