Re: Pryor vs Mayweather at 140
to the guy who said leonard was scared of Pryor was a crock.
*Did u just make that up and hoefully, no one in here knows what they;re talking about? Pryor was kicking Howard Davis butt after they olympics as a sparring partner and got fired. Pryor challenged Davis is his first pro fight.
U have it right, legend says both Pryor and Leonard sparred... BUT Leonard was getting his ass handed to him. There's even film where someone says Leonard was knocked down in his prime. Pryor even goes up to Leonard and challenges him...
it's not folklore... maybe Leonard wasn't affraid, but he wasn't fighting Pryor if the money wasn't right..and the money was NEVER right. why not fight Pryor? Pryor was in alot of fighters heads..he didn't give a shit... he'd fight u for nothing..and that scarred fighters.

Yeah I made it up. It is a crock that he ducked Pryor and Leonard played with him in sparring and would have knocked him out. He was a shrimp. Maybe he got some licks in with Davis but so what. The rumour that has been permeating boxing forums for years that Leonard ducked Pryor is ridiculous and again Leonard did what he did in sparring. Pryor can say whatever he wants. And big deal that Pryor did some publicity stunt to Leonard. Ray was busy fighting the likes of Hearns, Duran and Benitez in order to duck him lol. That is the thing about sincere delusion, you have to tell the same untruth over and over and over again in order to believe it. Its a myth I'm sorry to say that Ray ducked Pryor and he did beat Pryor up in sparring. Exaggeration turns into a wives tale and then to urban legend as is the case here. Pryor couldn't carry Leonard's jock strap.
And dont bother producing some of the press releases of the day that suggest otherwise cause I can produce just as many to rebut it. I've seen countless interviews at that very time with Leonard and Pryor was not even on the radar and for good reason none of which include being scared.

welcome you old lout you.

Pryor with AND without Panama Lewis. Nobody beats Aaron nobody ever in any period of time beats Aaron Pryor.
Not even Roberto Duran?
Duran would be some test--but I think Pryor pulls it out late like he did with Alexis. The guy was a demon, a whirlwind, and in the 2nd fight I will have everyone know this (:rolleyes:--I know you already do)---that Aaron was completely clean, had no coked-up bottles in his corner nor Mr. Lewis, and he still wiped the floor even easier with Alexis than the 1st time.
Yes Duran wouldda fought rougher than Alexis who fought like a gentleman. Mighta been alot rougher for Aaron but he woulda stepped it up even more I am sure and out-roughed the Rougher (as Foreman might say)
Re: Pryor vs Mayweather at 140
Floyd would never have fought him.The money would not be right, Pryor was on drugs, Floyd would be in jail any excuse would be found. Pryor would eventually lose and the fight would never be made. The end.
