Please somebody tell me Ive got this wrong. On his resume theres Cervantes almost a 100 fights past his best. Argguilla was a great Super Feather not a great Lt welter, who was on his front foot made for Aaron Joe Young beat him. Im missing something somewhere Please put me right

When Aaron Pryor fought Bobby Joe Young he was having drug problems just look when he is counting with the time keeper he obviously had demons at that time i think its very unfair to bring up that fight.

ssss Take your point, but to be Honest I could never take to Aaron. I thought he was very well managed, a good fighter but not Great in my eyes, a lot of it was smoke and mirrors. Never Boxed a great Fighter a the Top of there game, my opinion.

Thats fine sometimes you don't take to certain fighters im not really Aaron Pryor fan but i do think he was one of the best Jr Welterweights of all time but thats just my opinion we will never know though because his career got cut short.

Armstrong as a welter was mostly at 138, He was a great lt welter

I don't think Pryor was unbeatable at 140.....but if he was only fighting Ricky Hatton then......Aaron Pryor was unbeatable at 140

Ricky Hatton is a good solid 140 fighter but he has trouble with pure boxers and more recently is having trouble fighting period. All time I think Ricky gets beat more often than not....nothing against Ricky but the greats all-time at 140 and 135 are pretty friggin deep with talent.

I wish we could have seen a Hatton-Corrales fight at 140 or even a Hatton-Gatti fight at 140
