Aaron Pryor vs Tommy Hearns at 132 pounds
Re: Aaron Pryor vs Tommy Hearns at 132 pounds
This was a great great amatuer fight, but you could really see the difference between Pryor being 21 and Hearns only being 17.
Re: Aaron Pryor vs Tommy Hearns at 132 pounds
Hearns did not have the power nor the skills as an amateur that his pro career presented. The transition to the pro ranks was so dramatic, Pryor was lucky they never met for money.

Aaron The Hawk Pryor, one hell of a fighter, Thomas Hit Man Hearns one of the all time modern greats,
they don't make them like theses 2 any more.:)

In what respect?
Re: Aaron Pryor vs Tommy Hearns at 132 pounds
Hearns would have won at welterweight if they fought. He was a man then but do not think he could take out Pryor although if anyone could Hearns could.

Yes. I'm not saying he was a bad fighter, far from it, he was a great fighter. I just think he was the weakest of the fab four.
He wins polls as the greatest light middle of all time, but his record does not convince me, and I would have McCallum stopping him every day of the week had he not avoided that fight. The losses to Barkley, Leonard, and Hagler just jade his legacy a bit too much for me to consider him as highly as others do.
Re: Aaron Pryor vs Tommy Hearns at 132 pounds
Had they fought in the pros Hearns would have KO'd Pryor EASILY. Sure Pryor had a solid chin and all, but he got knocked down a few times, he had the tendency to raise his chin when throwing combinations. I think a grown up Hearns is a very tough task for Pryor.
Who would win Prime vs Prime Pryor vs Mosley match?
