Price turned down a fight with Fury, (who floored him when he was a teenager in a loosing performance in the amatures) Price is 29 (peak) and isnt trying to progress his career. Tony Thompson is a stepping stone, he needs to start calling out Adamek, Haye or a Klitschko. No respect for him keeping the devision stagnent.

If you look at the top 10.

Wlad
Vitali
Povetkin
Adamek
Pulev
Haye
Fury
Helenius
Dimitrenko
Solis

Id say thats the top 10, Maby the yanks Mitchell or Banks? Price probabally top 15, Glazkov maby?

There are plenty of good fights for Price, Thompson is a meaningless fight and to me it shows a real lack of guts at 29 when there are numerous guys his age and size higher ranked.

Gotta admire Fury for trying to go for the top guys at least.

Whatever about Fury being 10th, he's certainly not 7th.

Calling out guys you know are well above you and making a fool of yourself every time a microphone is put in front of you does not move you up the rankings.

The 650k story about Price is bullshit by the way. Price was happy to fight him in Liverpool, Fury shit his pants at the though of.

TBH the European scene isn't a great deal better Glazkov, Price and Pulev are probably our best lot and most likely to do something. I honestly don't see Fury being a genuine World champion to me technically he isn't anything special and doesn't carry enough power to compete at the top level IMO.

Speaking of Heavyweight possibly my favorite ever Boxer Audley Harrison is returning for the HW Prizefight scheduled in February (It will be the lead in for the Brook Alexander fight). Hopefully 2013 will be the year for A-Force to finally become a World Champion.

It certainly isn't going to prove who would have won had they fought 15years ago when they were at there best.

SBW? I love Tua, he could have been a Champ. Early Tua is so close to early Tyson but he looks old these days sad to say. Now if some of these MMA guys could get him on to TRT Always hope for him though no matter what.
