    Comments Thread For: David Price on His Future: I Need To Have a Long Think

    Olympic bronze medal winner David Price is unsure where his career will go, after suffered a stunning knockout defeat against German heavyweight Erkan Teper in Ludwigsburg on Friday night.

    The Liverpool heavyweight was hoping to get his career back on track in only his second bout in 13 months, but his bid for the vacant European title was ended in violent fashion inside two rounds.

    Ain't much to think about for this dude, unless he goes to 160 he ain't ever making it at world level in boxing, guys like Ward, Kovalev and Chakhkeiv would ice him.

    Jokes aside he should never have taken this fight and if their is any positives to come from this he should consider himself fortunate they lost the purse bids as had this been in Liverpool I fear he may have thrown himself into the Mersey.

    Had they just rebuffed the fight, took an easier fight the Joshua fight would still have been there, he could have knocked out Audley Harrison and the Brits would think he was due a title shot and a they'd have snapped up a ppv versus Joshua. Price is a fool, he should have accepted his limitations and took the Haymon/Hearn route of cashing in and out.

      Price has not mentally recovered from his 2 KO losses to TT and probably never will.

      He reminded me of Audley Harrison last night - poking and pawing with his jab and giving ground instead of throwing punches whenever Teper walked into him.

      The old, pre-TT Price would have taken Teper's head off in the first 30 seconds of that fight without a second thought.

        I feel sorry for him, they shouldn't have put him in with an undefeated fighter with 10 kos so early after the thompson ko.

          He should contact Timothy Bradley, he possibly could get some help. Bradley knows how to come out of this lack of punch resistance.

            What do you mean, so early? He's been dropped by journeymen since TT - it was now or never.

            The guy's confidence is shot.

              khans chin on a heavyweight. I guess the writing was on the wall in his amateur fights.

                Khan's chin is below average but far from glass.

                  TT ruined him it seems. As you imply, he has simply no confidence in his own ability.

                  He should retire unless he somehow can change things dramatically. He has no defense and no chin.
