Aaron Pryor smokes everybody at 140----EVERYBODY

[brocktonblockbust]

pryor took every lea d right hand that Hearns threw in the amateurs, and every lead right hand that Arguello threw for 24 rounds. No way any Duran lead right hand is goingto stop him then. Lyle he BARELY beat him?? what fight were you watching?? he annihilated him twice to the canvass.

Pryor was a beast but his best win was over arguello who was past his best and was fighting above his best weight division..

I think he has a great shot at beating Chavez but he would get owned by duran and Pea...

Yeah when he was cracked out of his gourd on amphetamines and whatever else was in that black bottle

Ok I'll say it.......the guy was not that good and nowhere near the fighter he is touted to be because he beat a long in the tooth battle worn Arguello at the end of his career and out of his weight class.Some people think old farts like me exaggerate eras past, well Pryor is one of the most overrated fighters of the 20th century. The only big win on his lodge pole was done with Panama in his corner and a mysterious bottle. I can easily make the leap given what I saw and what followed in the Collins/Resto fight. So even his only claim to fame is tainted.

Brock Tommy only had about 10 ko's in 150 odd fights as an amateur. He was a pure boxer back then and never even discovered he could punch until he turned pro. Brought to full effect under Manny. Btw, he would have torn Pryor a new ass if they ever met as pro's.

I've actually seen threads at forums with people putting forth the notion that Leonard ducked this guy. Its ridiculous. Leonard was at 147 and already retired for close to a year before Pryors first dubious fight with Arguello. Pryor was not even on Ray's radar before he retired. In addition he had already fought Hearns, Benitez and Duran twice back to back so what would be so scarey about Aaron Pryor?
When he retired the second time after the Howard fight for three years he came back and fought Hagler. I must have missed the great Aaron Pryor.

I always thought Pryor was a little overstated and puffed up and in large part because he stuffed his career momentum into a straw. He was a whirlwind dynamo, loved to fight into the pain and deceptively fast but he was very hittable and quick to give up a defence for fury.

Sugar Ray Leonard would have made him look foolish. He had bigger fish to fry though and I do not buy thatchexwas afraid of Pryor, despite the infamous press conference video.

That was the first time I have seen that press conference incident. That was funny, Pryor really wanted it. I know he also wanted to fight Macho Man.
