Aaron Pryor vs Manny Pacquiao

[brucelee]

Pac withstood flush shots from Margarito, Clottey and Cotto why cant he take a flush shot from a 140 lb Pryor. Pac hurt Margarito, Oscar and Cotto why can't he hurt a 140 lb Pryor.

To answer this very compelling question, Kanankrus has aptly said it. In hypothetical fights, manny, more often than not, would lose his fights especially if the analysis comes from his haters. So, I'd rather talk about actual fights and how Manny fared against them.

First the thread is hypotethical and if you don't like it don't go inside! Second i have never said that he will lose to a mexcan punching bag. What i said is that he is never faced a fighter of the rang of Pryor!

..........uhhhhhh, yes he did, and then some!

as for the victor, its The Hawk by KO in 9.

as for the black bottle--THAT WASONLY THE 1ST ARGUELLO FIGHT. HE DEMOLISHED ARGUELLO IN THE 2ND JUST THE SAME, NO BLACK BOTTLE.

Pacquiao by a stoppage in the 8th.

I've taken flack for this before, but I really feel Pryor was overrated. He has the Arguello wins, but Arguello was no 140lber, hell he'd even looked vulnerable at 135. He also left his chin up at times, hands too low & his biggest flaw was how he squared up. Everyone goes on about Pac's punching power & volume, but what really does for his opponents is his footwork and I see Pryor squaring up and getting caught one too many time.

It would be a cracking fight though.
