Who beats 1982 Aaron Pryor?.....{crickets}

[Fenster]

Seeing how wild and reckless he is in 1982, of recent fighters I'd say Lucas Matthysse and Maidana would have blasted the charlie straight out of him inside a few rounds. He nearly got himself knocked out against Kameda.

[Ron Swanson]

Arguello perhaps If Pryor didn’t cheat. You don’t “mix” water, and water doesn’t have color

[Alpha]

Not many. Pryor would have given every ATG a tough time. I would have loved to see a Meldrick Taylor or Duran fight.

[Fenster]

This guy is beating nearly every great 140-pounder in history? Lets bear in mind, Kameda never got past Japanese title level, Terry Marsh stopped him. Terry Marsh.

Now I ain't saying Pryor wasn't a brilliant fighter, but to think today's fighters couldn't live with your boyhood heroes is ridiculous.

Try watching with a clean slate.

[Master]

Terry Marsh would have beaten Pryor after watching that video.

Pryor dismantled one of boxing's ATGs in Alexis Arguello. Not once, but twice. But hey... he had a rough night against Akio Kameda, so now that I think about it, he's shit. Hell... today's 140-pounders would've swept the floor with him. FFS.

If worshiping boyhood heroes is bad, blinders to every great fighter in history is even worse. But then I saw this coming with the argument that Ali-Frazier I wasn't that big of a HW title fight.

[THE THIRD MAN]

Big questions marks about Pryor now, i have watched most of his fights many times and he looks wired against Arguello both times, but he was fighting a smaller guy and still got hit a lot.
I used to think he would beat Leonard, but i have altered my opinion on that, Leonard wins a clear decision IMO. Duran in 1979/80 after moving up would've landed a huge shot and probably knocked him out.
Pryor was aggressive and attacking, but woefully reckless. Duran was aggressive, but he was far more measured and a far better boxer.
Mosley beats him, DLH beats him, Tszyu may knock him out in the first or 2nd round! Floyd doesn't lose a round.

Spot on Tito one bad performance does not make you a shit fighter in boxing one bad performance or you loose a fight boxing fans are quick to say a fighter is finished.
Boxing fans are a funny breed but its how it goes.

@TitoFan - this is your final warning. I have tired of politely asking you to stop misrepresenting my posts, telling blatant lies about me. You can follow me all over the forum throwing insults at me, call me a moron, an areshole, a cunt whatever. What you can't do is continually say I said things I didn't. Please consider this carefully. Thanks.
