Well Haye does need a sparring partner to mimick Wlad's style and size but I don't know if signing him to a pro contract is a necessity! :D

i think fury had had about 11 amateur fights when prive 'outclassed' him. Jesus.
I like price though, he can dig a bit, has good handspeed as well - just hope he gets some good learning fights.

Thanks, I don't quite know if that's sarcasm, but thanks for the information.

And how many fights has he had now amateur and pro? 20? Fury is the one saying he wants to fight for the British title this year. You can't have it both ways.

And I was being as sarcastic as the guy who called him chinny. The huge Chinese guy Camarelle stopped in the final didn't look chinny either.

Well he's trained by Joe Gallagher, who trains John Murray, so Hennessy would be a guess. Hennessy actually need some prospects to put on undercards and create some interest, the undercard at Wigan was really week for a TV show.

Jeffries ain't goin Hayemaker I know that much. At the press conference Price said he was going to take it slowly to begin with and wasn't thinking about a title for a couple of years.

I wonder how Prices (in the ring) impersonation of Wlad is?

Well if you look at the promoters involved and the ambition of Fury the fight could happen in less than six months :box: :D

Price will get chinned spectacularly before long. He won't fit the pros.

He could have a decent career, as long as he isn't hyped too much as "next world champion" etc. But yeah, if he works hard he could have a decent crack at domestic level titles I think.

He goes above Domestic Level trust me. :TU:

Price being called "chinny" because he has been down against WORLD CLASS amateurs is a tad harsh.
Cammarelle is a top quality operator who can dig.
When talking about Price I prefer to focus on the fact he stopped the tank that is Timurziev, who was favourite for the Gold and had never been on the canvas before they fought and Price stopped him.

Just to clarify, I wasn't calling him chinny, it was just a phrase I heard from someone who allegedly knows him better than me.

Price is a big big puncher that should see him making waves soon domestically. I've met David and he's a really nice guy very humble. I think him saying he's going to take his time and may take a few years is good. That takes the pressure off a little. Where as Fury & Harrison made big promises while it's early for Fury, Harrison has been a huge bust.
