Pryor wins in a slug fest , tko 4
Yeah, Pryor is something you simply don't see. I think the guys at 140 with the best chances to beat him are Niccolino Locche (whom I think could have competed in any era) and of course Pernell Whitaker.
As for a match up with Pryor. Imagine if you took the Hatton that faced Tszyu or Tackie and put him in with Pryor? Wow :o That would be something else. Of course Pryor wins but there would be not an inch of give in that one, a match up I think every Sadist boxing fan on the planet would have loved to have seen.
Pryor though would have been the one singing at the end.
"Anything you can do, I can do better..."
OK that was rather gay. Whatever, I'm sure VD would have loved to see this fight.
Agreed. Hatton is tough enough to make it entertaining and last fil around the 8th, but ultimately Pryor is just superior in every department and breaks him down to a bloody mess.Quote:

I don't know many things a fighter can do to scare his opponent that would get the job done any better then that. That was great.
so do people also think pryor would KO Tsyu as well... lets not forget ricky stopped him...
i think this would be more competitive then what most are saying here. I still think aaron will win but it'll be tough cause aaron does like to take it to his oppenent and brawl.
Hatton would have been a good sparring partner for Pryor.
In a fight Hatton gets KTFO!!!!!
hatton that fought kostya would of given pryor a good run for his money. mayweather at 140 would of beaten him imo. kostya at his best again its a 50-50 fight, however id o think everyone mentioned so far are great fighters.
remember hatton is undefeated at 140 and did beat a kostya that only a year earlier had beaten mitchell in 3 rounds.
it would be alot closer than many make out
and also dont forget hattons punch resistance and stamina in his prime. the shots he took from kostya and to fight like he did for 11 rounds, you cant question his stamina or punch resistance in his prime, its not even a debate
Please somebody tell me Ive got this wrong. On his resume theres Cervantes almost a 100 fights past his best. Argguilla was a great Super Feather not a great Lt welter, who was on his front foot made for Aaron Joe Young beat him. Im missing something somewhere Please put me right
Yes i do Kostya Tszyu struggled with swarming fighters take Vince Phillips for example who hammered Kostya Tszyu and if Phillips can beat him then one of the best swarmers of all time Aaron Pryor certainly can Kostya Tszyu operates best at mid distance in close quarters his struggles.Quote:

Thats fine sometimes you don't take to certain fighters im not really Aaron Pryor fan but i do think he was one of the best Jr Welterweights of all time but thats just my opinion we will never know though because his career got cut short.Quote:
