Pryor would have decisioned Leonard had Leonard taken the fight. Pryor had ask Ray on numerous occasions to make a fight between the two of them but Leonard never let it happen.
Duran may have been Pryor's toughest test IMO. If they fought at 135 pounds it would have been explosive. I have to go with a draw. To tough for me to pick a winner!
Pryor would have defeated Hearns just like he did in the amateurs IMO! He may have even knocked him out! If Leonard got to him in 14 Pryor would have done it in 11 or 12.
Sorry but i totally disagree with your Hearns comment. Hearns was 17 years old and he was a Lightweight when he fought 21 year old Pryor in the amateurs that is nothing like how it would go in the Pro's.
Sweet bro that's what we on the forum for! I feel Pryor would be all over Hearns. I feel Pryor would take Hearns' best shots & come right back. The pace & relentless pressure would be to much & I would be surprised if Hearns survived the full 15!
