I don't see this amazing power of Pryor that you're talking about.
When I think of freakish punchers, I think of fighters like Jackson, Foreman, Zarate, Gomez, Arguello, etc...
When I think of Pryor, I see him as a solid hitter with terrific workrate and activity, and who could swarm and punch from numerous and unusual angles. Against most of the guys that he stopped in title bouts, fighters like Cervantes, Arguello, Johnson, Kameda, etc....it was just the non-stop activity and avalanche of punches.
It wasn't one of those "oh damn, one punch totally changed the fight" type things or "this guy is getting messed up from every clean punch landing".
It was more like "how can I get away from all these shots, this guy never stops throwing??!!"
