For that guy (kingfrk) who said SRL didn't duck pryor...watch this..

Yeah, great points! I find it hard to believe Ray was afraid of Aaron when he fought all the guys you listed. Also, if Aaron really wanted Ray that badly, why didn't he move up to 147 & win a title there or at least move up to 147 & look impressive @ that weight to force a fight with Ray? Aaron fought @ 140 & below until 1985. In 1987 he fought Bobby Joe Young @ 148 & was stopped in the 7th for his only loss. Aaron was a great puncher @ 140 but Ray took the bombs Hearns threw so I think he could handle Aaron's power @ 147. Aaron was able to take the shots from Alexis (a LW moving up & past his prime) @ 140 but would Aaron have been able to take Ray's best shots (left hook) @ 147?

look at the video....pryor walk up to him and says "i beat everyone at JW i might as well come up and fight you, i want to fight"

Saying and doing is two totally different things, if Aaron Pryor really wanted the fight that bad he would of moved up. But he didn't and Sugar Ray Leonard would never move down to Jr Welterweight, because he's too big for that division.

Right you are Ice.

But lets also take a close look at the guy who fought and beat Benitez, Duran, Hearns, then fought Hagler coming off a three year break, and ask whether anyone could seriously believe that Leonard was afraid of Pryor. I think not. Props to the JJrFloydguy for getting poeple's attention tho.
