Jr. Welters- 1980 vs. 2012.

[Master]

Looking at that maybe Pryor was not as good as I thought.

I have not heard of most of the 80's fighters but Bruce was not as good as Donald.

Pryor @ times was sloppy as heck. But when his step up came- Arguello: He not only went from wild to calm. He got accurate. It took alot to be able to beat Arguello- even at that stage of his career. And in case U weren't aware: It was Pryor who stopped Thomas Hearns from being an Olympian.

@ Master- if U watch the 1st minute of the clip with MussBurger commentating- Ray leonard says it all: Pryor was moving up to FACE Ray. Ray says he has his number because Pryor kept calling out Ray. If you've ever seen HBO's Legendary Nights (friggin awesome show/documentary) Pryor steps up to the podium with Ray & calls him out. Ray moved up in weight. Serious man, Ray wanted no parts of Pryor.

I have revisited Pryor's career many times and i think he would've struggled against the heavy hitters like Chavez & Tszyu, i doubt he would've landed a punch on Mayweather or Whitaker. It's probably a good thing for Pryor that Duran skipped Jr Welter and went straight up to 147lbs. Pryor just gets hit way too much. His best performances were against Arguello who fought most of his career at the lighter weights of Feather, Super feather and Lightweight! He certainly was exciting, but i have re-assessed his career and he has dropped a few rungs down the ladder IMO. Still, he beats the shit out of every 2012 ranked contender.

Think Mamby in his title run...he was absolutely robbed in first attempt...does a number on the bottom five, probably a 12' Khan and Judah also. Don't judge the man on fighting in four different decades. He was schooling contenders half his age or running close into his 40's.

Monroe Brooks and Bruce Curry did not like one another and they had a war at the Olympic Auditorium.
