Alright who wins this one... You got to relentless animals battling it out, I always thought Pryor was a freak of nature that had steely determination and a certain grit about him, and well one way to sum up the Hitman is that he is a friggin bulldog and a menace..

I say this one is as an absolute classic battle and one for the ages with one of them edging out a SD or quite possibly a draw

Thoughts?

As much as i love Ricky, Aaron Pryor was cut from a different cloth and would have chopped up RickyHatton .


Aaron Pryor at Lightwelter Against Roberto Duran one of the greatest matches never to happen .

aaron pryor would make rickys face look mess the ref would stop it in 9th round with horrible cuts on hatton

thing is just say hatton was beating pryor on inside which i dont think he would pryor could also box aswell like he showed in first arguello fight

Yeah, I love Ricky, but Pryor is arguably the greatest 140 fighter of all time. This would be an all time classic battle, a Mugabi-Hagler type fight. Hatton would have his moments, but the greater figher would come out on top. Pryor by late KO.

This matchup is as absurd as a matchup between Tommy Hearns and Smoke Gainer.

Hatton does not deserve to be mentioned in the same book as Pryor, let alone the same sentence.

Totally agree. Watch Pryor take out Arguello on YOUTUBE and you can see he fought at a much higher level. Pryor was a smart fighter who was blessed with uncommon stamina and a whirlwind style that was pressuer, pressuer, pressue. I like Ricky, but he is way out of his class in this one.

why are we putting hatton in the same sentence as Pryor, what the hell did hatton do to get mentioned with Pryor. This post is ubsurd only a person that knows nothing about boxing would give haton any kind of a chance

Pryor would of broken down Hatton by the 5th round

Ricky's a nice person and fun to watch, but theres no chance Ricky win this against Aaron (who i think if not the greatest 140 pounder). Aaron Pryor will walk through Ricky easy within six rounds.

Ricky is a tough kid who can be an all action fighter when he wants...I love his inside game when he applies it. The reason I became a Hatton fan is his inside fighting...It is like he never stop's punching,,,But...( you knew there was a but coming )

Aaron Pryor is one of those guys that seems to be made of a different substance.....Aaron was not tough but a genuinly bad SOB....He was mean,,took a great punch and was ruthless....He did not beat guys he ruined them,,,,Aaron went after every opponent like they robbed his Mothers purse and was going to teach them a lesson
39-1 (35) is damn impressive and speaks for itself it wasn't until later on when he was slipping and getting old bobby joe young managed the fight of his life....It would be fun while it lasted but Hatton would end up a mess on the canvas being saved by the ref

Pryor is streets ahead of his nearest rival at 140. I can't think of a 140lb fighter in history that goes the distance with him (including Chavez) let alone beats him when he was in his prime.

Arguello was a truly great fighter - but if you want to see how tough Aaron Pryor was, look at the right hand he takes in the 13th round (second last round) of that fight. That right hand would have KO'd just about any other guy who ever lived yet Pryor shrugged it off and came out and stopped Arguello in the next round.

Toughest, most relentless guy I ever saw was Aaron Pryor.

But let's not forget that Hatton isn't even 30 yet - he still has time to improve and put on career defining performances. But it's my fear that Hatton's best years may already be behind him - and he spent too much of those toiling against sub par opponents.
