    Leonard fought successfully against Duran, Hearns, Benitez, and Hagler. I can't possibly imagine he was afraid of Pryor.

    If that's true then Leonard made a business decision. The money wasn't right. But Leonard fought tougher guys and won, so there is no way in hell that Leonard "fears" Pryor.

    That would have been a fun fight to see at 140. Pryor was a natural at Junior Welterweight and that would have been an all-time fight that we would talk about. It would be in the same class as Haglar-Hearns, Ali-Frazier, Leonard-Duran, Barrera-Morales, etc.

    What's funny about that comment is...Now a days when someone makes a "business" decision they're "bad for the sport" , "afraid" etc... funny Leonard gets a pass..

    IMO there is no way Sugar Ray ducked Pryor. Benitez, Duran, Hearns, Hagler and Norris are all Hall of Famers. Pryor simly wasn't as big a draw as any of those guys. When Ray was the Welter Champ he even fought a very tough Ayub Kalule to win the Jr. Middle weight title when he could have picked up that title vs. a much easier champ.

    There always going to be guys that get missed. Pryor was one of them.

    By that logic, then it could be said PBF has
    hernandez, corrales, manfredy, castillo x2 , hatton, ODLH, chavez... so then its okay to miss mosley because the money isnt right.

    Ducked Pryor no but self admittingly he was not looking to get in the ring with Aaron without good reason. Pryor was a freaking animal.

    Funny? What ever are you talking about? Dude, I never said business decisions were bad for the sport, and I sure ain't giving Leonard a pass. Leonard beat Duran, Hearns, and Hagler, I don't imagine he has any problems in the confidence department.

    What do you think about business decisions? You're a Floyd fan aren't you? There's a walking talking business decision if there ever was one.

    IMO Leonard have would have picked Pryor apart and knocked him out. But that's a different story.

    Business decisions are fine...no im not a floyd fan, but i respect his talent and at the same time hate his "business decisions", having said that I've wanted him to fight shane for the past several years just to see it because those are two of my top 5 all time...and since RJJ was too big to see a fight with him and shane then the next two on the list are actually plausible.

    Yeah Leonard would have picked him apart for sure. I saw that crazy bastard Pryor race across the ring at the start of the first round once, right into a wild punch, go down backwards, flip over onto his feat and go chasing after the guy swinging with one glove while the ref tried to hold onto the other arm to give him an eight count. Dont think Leonard would have much trouble with that kind of suicidal attack.
