How so?
Aaron Pryor's dominance in his division and his consecutive wins by KO. His incredible blend of stamina, chin, speed, power and killer instinct. His wins over Alexis Arguello and Tommy Hearns in the amateurs. I could be way off base with my feelings but I wonder why Pryor is not mentioned among the greats in any of these discussions. Visiting the canvas early and coming back to win by KO in his fights against Cervantes, Johnson, and Montilla. His workrate in fights was unparalled imho.
He's definately a truely great fighter...
But first off..Obv Ray rob comes first...Second.. I say ali because of in ring skill..With it being in his hw division and his level of competition and what he did outside the ring and all the memerable moments..

But instead of arguing pryor into third...I know he was a very great fighter.. and i have actually seen him beat hearns in the amatuers ( thanks jimboogie lol )
Not that i believe that counts to his professional legacy..Who knows what would be the outcome in the professionals..All i know is that could have been one of the most legendary fights ever...
And i also know that tommy hearns was one of the most powerful welterweights i ever saw...
But all in all although aarons record is real pretty..he did face a few big names..But either not enough..
Or never that real career defining fight imo..
Peace
