    Default Aaron Pryor

    Have just watched his fight against Arguello and really liked his stlye. That recklessness against a feared puncher was very exciting and impressive. I was wondering if people could tell me about him. Ive heard that Leonard ducked him and that the only greats on his record are Cervantes and Arguello. However what was the rest of his resume like? Was it a good 140 pound era and were does he rank with other light welter greats?

    Thats about it his two best wins were against Antonio Cervantes, Alexis Arguello x2, both past there prime but both still very good wins. Although the 2nd Alexis Arguello fight, Alexis Arguello was seriously shot.

    It wasn't a strong era but he still would do well in mythical match ups, i've never seen anyone as aggressive as Aaron Pryor.

    He was one scary/crazy guy in the ring, he also had drug problems which was sad to hear, and his problems catch up to him in his only loss, a fight that should have never happened.

    Get any of his fights prior to the Gary Hinton fight, there all wildly entertaining.

    Leonard fought successfully against Duran, Hearns, Benitez, and Hagler. I can't possibly imagine he was afraid of Pryor.
