    Exactamundo.

    And what was one of the first things Ricky said in the post fight interview? Something to the effect of Floyd being a lot better on the inside than he anticipated.

    Oh Floyd would TOOL Pryor. Aaron Pryor was a great fighter, but Mosley had a similar style and a better chin and although Floyd fought an ancient Mosley but Floyd would just pick apart Pryor and I think he'd stop him to be quite honest.

    Did anyone stop Pryor in his peak?

    aaron pryor would tear mayweather apart like a bobcat tears a little kitten to shreds. Fight would be over in 5 rounds. Knock out. Cold.

    I can't stand the fooker, but Mayweather would time Pryor like a clock. You don't have to be a "huge" puncher to short circuit someone, especially when they do half the work for you on the front foot(s) and you're timing and accuracy is among the best.

    I agree but floyd had real punching power at 140. At that weight, I consider him as a real boxer-puncher.

    Like him or loathe him, Mayweather is the best defensive fighter i have ever seen. Hit and don't be hit is the old saying and Mayweather is a master at it. You have to be offensive too and that's exactly what Floyd Mayweather does, he is a brilliant ring strategist, he goes into every fight with plan A and a plan B in reserve. Mosley hit him big time and from that moment on he went to plan B and Sugar Shane never came close to scoring again. Pryor would be no different, he was also careless and probably would get stopped by Floyd. Pryor would've been a better fighter if he wasn't so hyper all the time. There was a time when i thought Pryor would've given Duran and Leonard very difficult fights,i've changed my opinion. Duran and Leonard beat him and so does Floyd Mayweather!

    My point is that you expect a feather fisted, safety first and brittle handed fighter to stop Pryor is crazy.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Yea, Im sure Leonard was so scared of Pryor yet he fought bigger and better fighters such as Duran, Hearns, Benitez and Hagler after years of layoff..

    You can't duck somebody who is not in your weight class... Pryor was not a WW and Leonard was chasing the big dogs..

    OH and I just remembered something.. Leonard did offer Pryor the biggest payday of his career at some point and Pryor turned it down.. FACT

    You can't believe everything you hear on HBO Legenday Night because alot of that shit is untrue..

    lol @ Leonard " ducking " pryor.. That shit dont even make any sense logically..

    Floyd wasn't feather fisted at that weight, though. And he wasn't as safety first as he is now.

    He was not a harder puncher than Alex.
