What a fight!!! I would love to have seen this fight somehow, IMO Chavez gets inside and hurts the Hawk with body shots on his way to a close decision win maybe late rd stoppage, what are your thoughts?

Aaron Pryor. Nothing ever hurt Aaron Pryor.
Finally! We agree on something! :)Quote:

But to tell you the truth, even without it, I think he would have beaten the much slower Chavez.
Your right Angel eyes Pryor was almost unstoppable, but I remember Pryor getting dropped by Dujuan Johnson and Akio Kameda of Japan, so pryor could be hurt. And Chavez was a tremendous body puncher with an incredible chin so if he could get to Pryor's body, I think Chavez may have possibly stopped Pryor, but I'm not saying that Chavez would win for sure, but thats what make this bout so intriguing, IMO a true dream superbout!!Quote:

I don't care about the black bottle incident
There could've been milkshake in that bottle and he still would've done the business
The guy was a machine
When people talk about pound 4 pound all time why is there never mention of Pryor ? Ive got the dvd with his fights on and ive not seen a better fighter EVER. He just kept coming at you, in the documentary Arguello says hes never been punched with 2 fists at the same time ! ;D
Would have been a great fight tho.
JC Chavez....nothing hurt Chavez either! JC would rock his ass!!! I mean Mel Taylor beat on him for 15 pretty full rounds and JCC didn't have a mark on him and Taylor was SWOLE all to hell....anyone who would stand toe to toe with JC would get KILLED
Whata fantastic fight this would have been.
I cannot think of many better historical matchups. It would have been a war much like Frazier/Quarry ("like two Mack trucks meeting in the centre of the ring")
I am much more familier with Chavez than Pryor, and will resist the temptation to call the fight based on knowledge of only one fighter. What a match up though .
It seems to me that the only thing that really ever hurt Aaron Pryor, was Aaron Pryor. The guy was more self destructive that Richard Pryor!Quote:

Pryor was in his prime as a 135lber in 79/80.
At 135lbs, I take JCC on a WU15
At 140, I take Pryor WS15
Didn't Kostya Tszyu fight him toe to toe? and won?Quote:
