He took a right hand and went down on his knee, got up, made the sign as the ref continued the count...

Thats very different from jumping up and hitting the other guy isn't it? Why'd the ref keep counting? Pryor look gone?

Timing made this fight impossible.

Pryor only became viable as a Leonard opponent post ArguelloI, and by that time Leonard had retired, and Pryor was only a year away from damaging his eye and pretty much ending his 'world class' career himself.

We've heard it from the man himself now, who you back in this fight was to come off when both in there primes.

I think the ref just used his common sense. Young was no more than a Journeyman; Pryor anywhere near his prime would of won easily...

Pryor just should not of been in the ring. Florida wrongly IMO let him fight, the ref saved him.

yeah, he should have stayed retired as undefeated champ. But sometimes fighters can't find anything to give them the rush and get on that stuff. Pernell Whitaker being an example but he stepped away from it now just as Pryor did, I just feel bad it took him so long to come around, where was his people to try to help them they all took the money and left and thats sad.

Pryor was asking Leonard for a fight even before he made his 1st defense against Gaeton Hart. Leonard was the one who never took it any further!

LOL, it was an experiment,that clearly did not work...

Normal service is resumed ;)

I was scratching my head for a few days over that.... what you were saying was BritKid material but the BK confused me

Kept thinking Burger King or BritKid?

Okay, now I'm sure at 100% that Hagler won that fight and was robbed. O0
