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.

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..

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.

fair enough. Hey, I would have liked to see Leonard fight Pryor too. All I'm saying is, sure Leonard may have passed on an offer to fight Pryor, or maybe Pryor called him out and Leonard declined, but I just don't think "fear of losing", or "risk of losing", was a prime factor for Leonard.

Funny thing about Floyd. I read an interview with him once, and on the question of "ducking" the top welterweights he never denied it, he came right out and said more or less that since he had already moved up four or five divisions, he felt no obligation to call out the big prime welterweights.

Pryor to me is overrated because of the hbo thing they did on his fight. He was good but he was good in a division of alot of week comp. He could of gone up to welterweight and fought few times to get Leonard but did not. When he did move up he lost so he waited to long to move up really. As for Leonard ducking him he choose to fight Hearns instead to unify and also got a injury which pretty much robbed Leonard of alot of prime years.
