I remember at one time boxing trainers talked about if a heavyweight was above 240 pounds he would have stamina issues and probably couldn't be of championship quality. Obviously Vitaly and Wlad, Lewis and Fury have shown that large men can have stamina but in general this rule still applies.

Price looks like he has a bunch of issues that are some combination of physical and mental but it looks like at his age if continues fighting he is going to drift down to a name opponent for domestic British prospects to beat.

Once it's obvious you can never win a world title or even be a top level foil to a world class heavyweight the purses get very thin and the potential beatings get much worse. I hope he is honest with himself and retires.



Nowadays most of the top heavies are over 240 pounds - and yet they tell me that they don't need a new super heavyweight division!
