I'm not ready to write Pryor off as an early version of James Kirkland doing impressions of a crash test dummy but he threw caution to the wind constantly and that was his whole hope of getting his early push. He was buzzed and or dropped in major fights and granted he brushed it off mostly and got right back to trying to rip a guys head off. He freely gave up his head. It's not a case of 'what could he have been' like some others as he had early opportunities he turned down, had platforms off his biggest wins and instead balked at challengers and dropped his trinket. Arguello was coming up sure but in fairness Pryor wasn't exactly a big 140 but fighters weathering a storm and mobile fast timing punchers I think would have done very well putting him off pace and turning his forward sprint against him. I'd go so far to think a Chavez form Frankie Randall would have found too many open lanes right down the middle. Taylor would get sucked in and fight his fight maybe. Crawford..forget about it. Pryor v Cotto 140 would have been hellfire and brimstone.
