Price vs Thompson February

First topic message reminder :

Good fight this one for Price against a guy who challenged Wladimir in his last fight and by no means an easy nights work.

Also, they debuted within 4 months of each other, that's pretty much much of a muchness in my book. Unless you want to use Price's relative inactivity as a stick with which to beat Fury, which seems quite ridiculous to me.

I would have thought years in the fight game was a better metric. Who's more experienced, a 32 yr old after 1 yr or a 24 yr old after 3 yrs? Their stage in their life cycle is not necessarily relevant to their stage in their boxing career.

No, even I wouldn't go that far......
