  and he backs David Price to follow in his footsteps
  
  Of Haye he says: ‘David is no longer the new generation. Having held a world title briefly and then been beaten by Wladimir he is between generations. We lost confidence in him after the way he lost to Wladimir. Now he’s just shuffling around looking for people to fight for money.
  
  ‘It’s up to him what he does with his career but now he’s a businessman, not one of the young guys striving to become heavyweight champion of the world. Some people box for the glory. Others fight for the money.
  
  ‘That’s his choice but the world remembers the glory, not how much money you made.
  
  ‘I fought for the glory. David Price fights for the glory. He has learned a lot during our weeks together in Canada and back here. It’s not easy to become heavyweight champion of the world. It takes sacrifice and hard work. It requires determination, the will, the desire.

  You may have a point there in regards to David Haye only being in it for the money but I really believe David Haye wants to reclaim the heavyweight world championship. I thought he was going to retire after fighting Dereck Chisora. There has, recently been talk of David haye fighting Tyson Fury.
  
  In regards to David Price, I believe that he really has his work cut out for him to become a world champion as he is fighting in an error where the heavyweight division has lots of tough good potential heavyweights for the world title. The Furys, the klitschkos and heavyweight abroad, Tony Johnson.
  
  Having Lennox Lewis can help but he has to do the work himself at the end of the day.
  
  I wish David Price the best for his rematch with Tony Johnson tonight.

  Didnt stick to the gameplan and wanted to stand and trade, this fight was a big step up for Price and proved he wasnt ready for it. What was surprising is that he was the favorite against a guy that has more KO's than he had fights.
  
  I think if he wants to conitune then he needs a year in the gym with Lennox Lewis working on his jab and defensive conter boxing, because he is so naive right now.

  I agree chub about David Price not sticking to the game of jabbing and moving. Being favourite when he lost the first fight? That's odd. Tony Thompson was just too good for him and fought an excellent intelligent fight. He used an excellent game plan and moved more. Also he looked more ripped to the bone than David Price.
  
  Sticking with Lennox Lewis could be a good choice with him but he only had three weeks when Lennox Lewis wanted at least 8 weeks.
  
  The best thing for him to do now is to really consider how much he wants to be world champion and if he is willing to make the necessary adjustments but he needs to do it soon before it's too late because the furys are looking good right now as are the present world heavyweight champions Vitali and Vladimir.
  
  It should take him another 2 or 3 years now to be ready for a shot or get back to the position he was in before he lost to Tony Thomson.
  
  Good luck to him, whatever he does.

  I agree, 3 years hard work is what he needs to be World Championship material and he heeds to leave Liverpool to do it. Lewis as a tactiacian and mentor and some top quality coaches is what he needs. He has a very big decision to make and its a change your life decision
