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.
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!
