Punch Power: 0 | | De La Hoya v. Aaron Pryor at 140 IMO Oscar was at his best at 140, but Aaron Pryor was a killer at superlightweight. Which way would this fight have gone? |

Punch Power: 1891 | | Re: De La Hoya v. Aaron Pryor at 140 Oscar fought 3 times at 140....I'd say he was at his best at 147-154
And I pick Oscar over Pryor as ODH has only been KO'd once AND Pryor had a hard time keeping his chin tucked in and Oscar is too good to not connect on such an exposed target

Punch Power: 0 | | Re: De La Hoya v. Aaron Pryor at 140 I like Pryor by close, but unanimous decision. At 140, Aaron Pryor was as relentless as they come, and I actually even think Oscar at 140 had faster hands, but de la hoya's never been in with someone under welterweight as seasoned as Pryor. |

Man, aside from middleweight 154 is Oscar's worst weight. No way in hell his ability at superwelter can compare to the machine he was at superfeather, lightweight, and superlightweight. |

Punch Power: 678 | | Re: De La Hoya v. Aaron Pryor at 140 I say Oscar wins this... he is bigger than Aaron IMO naturally... he is too strong, and has too good of a jab for Aaron, and also IMO he has a better chin with more power. |

He was like Rocky Juarez til he got a good trainer and worked on his right cross |

Punch Power: 1891 | | Re: De La Hoya v. Aaron Pryor at 140 Pryor kept his chin up too much....he only fought EFFECTIVELY at 1 weight
I see Pryor as Shane Mosley but with more flaws that Oscar could take advantage of....that being said ODH couldn't take advantage of what Shane offered him so I guess it's a toss up. |

Almost everyone said that Dela Hoya hit like a heavyweight, and that IMO would be enough to maybe not KO Pryor(though I think he could), but it would definitely slow down his pace... I also think that ODLH's jab would really cause him troubles... or any pressure fighter for that matter. |

Punch Power: 251 | | Re: De La Hoya v. Aaron Pryor at 140 CC for mentioning Pryor in a title thread on this forum. He isn't mentioned enough. I think Pryor gets knocked down in round 1. Then comes back to win a UD. If Ike Quartey who was always very open to being hit by a left hook by Oscar could survive all 12 rounds I don't see anyway in Oscar KO ing Pryor who I feel had a much better chin than Quartey. Like IceCold said before it was more of a balance issue with Pryor when it came to his knockdowns. |
