Aaron Pryor vs Ricky Hatton

[Canvasback]

I like Hatton, but he'd get his a** handed to him by Pryor. They're not in the same league.

[Wayne]

Give it 2 years. Perhaps if Pryor's son can shrink down 20lbs he can get it on with Hatton. I'm kidding, of course. Pryor Jr. is much different from his father and with only 8 fights under his belt there's no telling what kind of fighter he'll turn in to in a few years. But he's tall, I think around 6'2" and he has some serious pop. He hits with ill-intent.

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

BECAUSE ITS A FORUM AND THATS WHAT WE DO!!!!!!! Please post links to the super intellectual topics you have started on this forum so as I can learn something about boxing

[Swashbuckling Gordy]

Against Alexis Arguello i think he changed his style he boxed through the middle rounds beautifully and wasnt the mauler i had seen in him in fights previously .

Hard to believe Pryor was registired as Physically DISABLED as a youngster.

Actually, I think that Lyle should start a new forum on existential philosophy. He seems to have devised a totally new concept of thinking.

I'm not sure that anyone calling themselves 'bigsexy' will have much to contribute until they get to a certain number of posts (!). The lack of imagination applied to conjuring up that name does not lead one to picture an intellectual giant casting their pearls of wisdom amongst us lowly pygmies. I think 'ubsurd' was a clue there as 'u' is nowhere near 'a' on a QWERTY keyboard

Only winding you up bigsexy



PS ....... are you Big, and are you also 'Sexy' as defined by the majority of people on this board?

Winner Aaron Pryor

[rjj tszyu]

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.

One man who may cause Pryor some trouble at 140 is a prime Kostya Tszyu. Hatton beat a vey old Tszyu but WOULD mark my words have been KTFO by Tszyu in his prime.

I think this would have been a better fantasy match to have, all due respect to Hatton who I do like but he isn't in this league.

[Rican]

This would be an intriguing fight, but ultimately, Aaron "The One I Mixed" Pryor would overwhelm Hatton with his power and boxing ability. Brutal KO for Pryor.

[TitoFan]

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.

One of the few times I've ever agreed with anything smashcrusher had to say.

[Markusdarkus]

I love Hatton but the Hawlk would beat Ricky in what would be a war while it lasted.

At 140lbs no-one would beat a prime Pryor not Mayweather not Tszyu not Hatton.

[SweetPea]

Pryor smokes Hatton. Case closed.

[Tysonbruno]

Pryor Win enough said

[THE THIRD MAN]

I give Pryor every chance of stopping Floyd let alone the Fatman, it's Pryor for me in a brutal breakdown of Hatton by the 8th. Pryor was sometimes careless in his approach to his fights and often got caught and went down but his relentless attacks on his opponents was something in a league of his own. I give only a prime Tszyu any chance of stopping Aaron Pryor at 140lb.
Prime Tszyu 1998-2002 also stops Hatton.

[Violent Demise]

This fight wouldn't even be competitive. Hatton corner throws in the towel by the 3rd round

[DAWGSWIN]

Mythical match-ups are always tough to call....except here! Pryor wins with or without his water bottle.
