Pryor with special water, Mayweather with the special mouth.;D
It'd be very interesting because Pryor had great footwork and was an absolute windmill. Nowhere near the skill of a Floyd Mayweather, but you can't easily discount that kind of heart and punch output.
Still would take Floyd by wide decision.

100% agreed Neighbor to the North! Pryor had the tendency to stick his chin up in the air when throwing combinations...I don't think Floyd would have trouble finding a home for his usual roll and counter uppercut or right cross. I think there would be a few knockdowns actually because Floyd would catch the Hawk off balance and with his chin in the air. Wide margin UD.Quote:

Welcome. Good question. If Pryor had Emmanuel Steward in his corner and not Panama Lewis he might have lasted into the late rounds and made it very competitive but I still think Floyd is too cute for him and picks him off late. TKO round 10.Quote:

Leonard avoided him, what makes u think May would fight him
Agree completely. A great example of why the A beats B and B beat C therefore A beats C logic does not work I might add.Quote:

Pryor with AND without Panama Lewis. Nobody beats Aaron nobody ever in any period of time beats Aaron Pryor.
In this fight over 15 rounds, Pryor would set a electrifying pace, yes Mayweather is cute but he likes
to fight at his own pace.Floyd would have a torrid time, yes he would counter but he has never been
hit so many times in his carer.. WHAT TIME IS IT HAWK TIME.;)
Aaron would be scarin'
little boy floyd the android
til the shit hit
the fan and he sat on his can--
eat Spam! Lil' Floyd
because you are devoid
of all things exciting
except when you're biting
50 Cent's cock
:Brock a true classic :lol: :vd:Quote:

Pryor never faced anyone of any note until Arguello who had fought at 130/135 his entire career and who had one fight at 140 before Pryor and Pryor needed his special black bottle to do it.
He had never seen even a reflection of a fighter similar to Floyd his entire career. His claim to fame prior to Arguello was beating up a 36 year old shot Cervantes and a one foot in the grave Gaetan Hart who had already lost about 20 times and was ko'd in about 10 of them. There is zero evidence in style or substance that he bothers Floyd at all. He'd be a freakin human dart board.
12 round chessmatch written all over it. Neither guy would come close to finishing the other. Maybe 10-15 actual FLUSH punches landed all fight (if that).Quote:

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.
Pryor!

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.
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.Quote:

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)
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.
