IF he beats Povetkin.. Then it's definitely him. It's a stretch. But with HW's, never say never.

Was his last big win Matt Skelton in 2012?

Audley Harrison a month earlier?

Sam Sexton in early 2012?

His losses could have been his best wins each time. Thompson at the time would have been.. Teper arguably would have been and Hammer would have been his best win, had he won.

I think it's a shame he never engaged in fights with rivals Chisora and Fury back around 2012. Thompson really F*cked that up.

I remember after the second loss, Frank (Kellie) Maloney said Price needs to get back to domestic level. Instead, he started rebuilding in Germany and at the same time, he parted ways his his trainers Franny Smith and Lennox Lewis.

Sexton is a good domestic win. Not sure why he doesn't aim for British again... He can be a contender or a champion for a good while

Out of interest, although Povetkin is clearly a jump to far would people have reacted badly if it was Whyte in the other corner?

Skelton or Harrison I suppose, they both have fairly similar achievements in the titles they won at professional level, but both were pretty much done around the time Price fought them, especially Skelton...

At his stage, his ambition is to simply fight for a world title. He would do really well in the domestic. He didn't even win the Euro title. But as long as these opportunities keep coming. He'll take them.

I would say it's an okay fight.

He really did demolish them real quick.

Its funny to think back then that he actually wasnt even euro level and was hyped up as the next undisputed champ. Hammer and teper would have beaten him at that time.

I was looking at old articles. He was hyped to sh!t!!

His resume is shockingly shit.

Maybe he should have fought Chisora instead of Thompson rematch. He said he would have earned more fighting Chisora.

It's crap, because around 2012.. Domestically, Fury, Chisora and Price where the guys! Fury and Chisora did fight. But I guess, because Price being heavily hyped, they thought they could shoot him up. It was Lennox Lewis who pushed him to rematch Thompson/

Price's best win is against obscurity. He is still getting paydays and good on him.
I was very surprised at the Povitkin announcement, weren't we all?
This is (arguably) the 10th best HW in the UK. And he got a shot against the world top #5 guy
I'm still bewildered Price got this gig, I dont even fancy him for a Londsdale shot, let alone a win.

Arguably.. That's still generous. Fair play to him.. Still getting paydays. He has name value only at this point, despite not really beating anyone notable over the last 6 years.

Who is English champ now? I remember was Mcdermot for years. Did Sexton ever challenge him for it?

McDermott was the last champ. Sexton has never fought for it.

The English title hasn't been fought for in almost 5 years.

What are the BBBofC doing? It's as if it's run by a bunch of mindless chimps.

I was thinking that, so even though McDermott won the title in 2013, he has never fought since, I wonder why nothing has happened?

A lot of fighters have pulled out of English title fights in that time, but that's still no excuse for having a title vacant for 5 years.

Just keep going down the rankings until two fighters say yes and actually turn up to fight each other for it.

It's a very easy job that these people have, but they still manage to screw it up over and over again for years on end.

Why can't Haye vs Bellew II be for the English title?

If McDermott went out and chinned someone in his local chippy this weekend he'd break in to your P4P list next month I bet

McDermott never made it into my top 30, so I think your comment is a little inaccurate.

No because Whyte isn't that good.

I think Whyte would be Price about as easily as Povetkin would beat Whyte

Horse wrote: ↑09 Feb 2018, 10:22 Why can't Haye vs Bellew II be for the English title?

Because Bellew wouldn't want to pay the fees and Haye think he's a superstar world level fighter.

Gorman Vs Dubois would be a good one for It, but they both have too much to lose and too little to gain from it.

Maybe Dave Allen could fight for it if he loses to Thomas.

If that fails maybe me and you could fight for It, I mean if Sexton Cornish was for the Brittish title, why not?

I'd say Skelton is the best win. Nobody else had Skelton out of there in 2 rounds.
