Am hearing rumors round the boxing circles that these fights are in the pipe line

[cotto20]

In the next 6 months

James Degale vs Paul Smith
Tony Bellew vs Courtney Fry
Tyson Fury vs David Price

What are your thoughts?

[rockandrollstar]

I see Bellew vs Fry happening but the others won't happen in the next 6 months, but will happen later down the line

[TFFP]

My thoughts are I hope this turns out to be true!

Seems a bit early for Price. He's hardly got going in his career, its been stop start so far and he wasn't too impressive last time out. I wouldn't put him in with Tyson Fury just yet if I was managing him, but for us the fans it would be fantastic.

i also thought it was early but from what av heard price really wants to do a number on tyson, and says he wants to get there before some one else does

Just read on bs that Burns is getting a shot at Martinez as well .Checked the WBO rankings he's 1 . Is this old news or new ?

this is new, i like burns he is really under rated he is a good craftsman who just gets on with the job with out any fuss

Not on here he isn't ;)

does he post on here or something?

[LHL]

does he post on here or something?

He doesn't post here but a few months ago there was non stop talk about him. The O'Hara fight sort of cold it down but it will be back closer to his next fight

[kosaros]

Billy Nelson, his trainer, does.

I like burns i rate him highly i think he is just as good as mitchell and arthur even though arthur has beat him, just they both have bigger mouths than burns so they seem to get alot more attenion

I too like Burns. I watched Roman Martinez's last fight yesterday and he really looks clueless against guys who box and move, so i think Burns has a good chance of causing the upset! Ricky will lose to Martinez though if he stands and fights IMO. Martinez looks very good when guys stand and trade with him.

ricky will stick to his boxing and beat matinez

[Bugsy McAlpine]

Hopefully you're right.:bbb

[avidlemon]

i think fury and price may well happen.

The other two forget for 1-2 years

Smith (too much experience at the moment)
Bellew
Fury

[Body Snatcher]

If they happen now -

Smith
Bellew
Price

[Harry Chibber]

what do people think if these fights do happen
smith degale
bellew fry
price fury

Smith... too early for De Gale, Smith would punish him
Bellew... although I expect this to be the closest of the 3
Price... Fury is overrated and I expect an early ko

How's the preperation going for 5th of December??

[Dan684]

Smith Bellew Price.

I dont like Smith and DeGale looks good but if this was to be his next fight I think it may be just a little too much. Bellew is ready for Fry now or very soon and Fury is utter shit so i'd fancy Price to do a job on him

[dan-b]

These better happen, you've gotten my hopes up!

[Top Dog]

Hopefully you're right.:bbb

Burns COULD box the earsoffhim, if he sticks and moves, if he gets drawn into a punchup it could spell disaster, but dont think he will fall for that, too clever.Hopefully:good

Cant see Fury fight yet
Or Degale v Smith, sadly!

[antcull]

In the next 6 months

James Degale vs Paul Smith
Tony Bellew vs Courtney Fry
Tyson Fury vs David Price

What are your thoughts?

I'd be seriously suprised if Degale-Smith and Fury-Price happened within 6 months.

I don't like Smith but at this stage he would have too much for Degale, he'd get the decision in a shit fight. He'll need to step up greatly once again after King if he is fight Smith.

Anyone know how David Price looked in his 2 October fights?

[icemax]

Smith Bellew Price.

After you picked Bell to beat Simpson any of your selections now have to be viewed with some suspicion:deal

[Dan684]

Wait till 2 weeks time Ice :deal

And I believe I picked Ward to beat Kessler did I not :yep

[avidlemon]

what is v cash? please someone tell me!

for the record, smith, price, fry

Like what happened against johanneson?

Anyone know how David Price looked in his 2 October fights?

From what I heard the opponents were awkward but he did what he had to do. Nothing spectacular but ok.

I think if the fight happened now it would be close. Ultimately I think Price will become the better heavyweight.

There is a backlash at the moment with Fury over the Big mc fight. However it wasn't really Fury's fault and he will have learned a huge amount from that fight. I also met Fury at the Froch fight and he was a nice bloke so a lot of the backlash I feel is unmerrited.

I too feel he lost the big mac fight but the knowledge gained from that fight will be invaluble.

I can see Price becoming a serious operator though as long as he is Handled well.

[Pug1list]

Smith is nothing special DeGale can beat him.

[Hooch]

Smith is nothing special DeGale can beat him.

Yep, De Gale can beat Smith easy, he may run out of gas but I think he would land so many telling blows early I doubt Smith would be in a position to make it count.

First 6 rounds all De Gale and last 6 rounds would be like Smith v Quigley

[GazOC]

In the next 6 months

James Degale vs Paul Smith
Tony Bellew vs Courtney Fry
Tyson Fury vs David Price

What are your thoughts?

The Bellew-Fry fight seems the most likely to happen to me. The others are more than 6 months off IMHO.

Maybe a little early for him, no?

From a talent point of view DeGale is streets ahead of Smith, but he isn't anywhere near ready for a title fight over 12 rounds, he'd be blowing out of his arse after 6:deal

Possibly, he defo aint ready for a decent 12 rounder I just dont rate Smith at all and Jim Mac would have De Gale as ready as possible in the gym.

De Gale is also alot bigger so would not surprise me if he stopped him early.

[kosaros]

DeGale vs Smith cannot happen within 6 months, due to DeGale needing to get accustomed to 12 rounds (he has only done a 4 rounder so far!) and Smith would not be willing to fight at 6/8 rounds and give up his title.

[hit me HARDER]

In the next 6 months

James Degale vs Paul Smith
Tony Bellew vs Courtney Fry
Tyson Fury vs David Price

What are your thoughts?

Smith will defend his WBO Title against DeGale in a year to 18 months time I reckon, all being well.

[Top Dog]

maybies aye maybies naw

[avidlemon]

de gale with all due respect to him, is untested, and wont be properly for about another year o so, smith would not step in to the ring with him at all in the next 2 years. plus both are FW fighters, and he would never let this happen.

By the way, as good as degale is, wouldn't live with smith or other top british smw at the moment in time.

[Chud]

In the next 6 months

James Degale vs Paul Smith
Tony Bellew vs Courtney Fry
Tyson Fury vs David Price

What are your thoughts?

your definately hearing wrong with Fury-Price, minor chance it could happen in more than 18 months but no chance it happens soon. Bellew-Fry is believeable but DeGale-Smith will probably have to wait too.

[PaddyD1983]

I thought Bellew has said that he wouldnt fight Fry because they're good mates? Maybe I dreamt that.

For me, if it happened right now;

Smith
Fry
Price

If it happened in a year or so then I think only the last one would have the same result.

['Ben']

I see Bellew vs Fry happening but the others won't happen in the next 6 months, but will happen later down the line


Yeah, some time away from Price-Fury I think.

[achillesthegreat]

In the next 6 months

Tyson Fury vs David Price

What are your thoughts?

bollocks though degale and bellew could win em in 6 months. fury and price would be interesting.
