David price boxer

Read an article about him in one of the daily rags saying he's going to be the next Lewis and he's training with kiltshco brothers. article goes onto say haye, chrisora and Tyson fury would all get beaten by him.

I've seen a couple of his fights and yes he looked good but how good where the fighters he beat ? I'd say he's prospect and nothing more. Is the heavyweight division that poor at the moment the press need to hype someone up that early in their career ?

Boxing gurus care to share there opinions

Can't say I know much about him but he beat Sam Sexton in 4 whereas Chisora could only manage it in 10 2 years ago.

Edit: Looks bloody quick for his size though!

He's our best prospect by far, but untested against the best. He'd destroy Chisora and Fury pretty easily though I reckon. There has been talk of potential Klitschko fights, but I think he could do with a few more build up fights before making the step up.

To sum up, you look at the likes of Chisora and Fury and instantly think not a chance. With Price, it's a maybe at this current moment in time.

Loads of power, if you watched the hits against Sexton, even when he blocks those punches are wearing. I'm really excited to see his progress.

One to watch for sure

speed kills

I think I've seen one of his previous fights!

That Sexton fight shows that he appears to have the most important attribute; a boxing brain and the temperate to match something which a lot of our boxes don't have or ever will have!

This is what I thought I watch boxing but I don't profess to be an expert. Wasn't sure if it was the presses usual build up quick knock em down quicker.

Been keeping an eye on him since sky have shown his fights.

I agree with the above comment he has a boxing brain.

To boot he comes across and as very polite guy

That's things he will learn from the brothers. They aren't stupid, they have brains and on top of it they are seemingly genuinely nice, respectful people. Can't think of many current boxers who would be better to learn from in all aspects of boxing, in and outside of the ring.
