He was a great champion. RIP.

As for him not fighting Leonard and Duran, it was because he wanted more money. Both Duran and Leonard camps wanted the fight to take place.

In December 1980, Pryor rejected an offer of $500,000 to fight Sugar Ray Leonard for the WBC Welterweight Championship because he wanted more money. When the amount was increased to $750,000, he rejected that as well. [12]

Pryor was offered $750,000 to fight Roberto Duran at Madison Square Garden in April 1981. However, Pryor's new attorney told him not to sign anything until he worked out a new contract with his manager. By the time a new agreement had been worked out, the chance to fight Duran was gone. [14] [15]
