The excellent Cervantes decked Pryor in the first, hence the reason the fight was close after three rounds. Pryor's victory is even more amazing because of the knockdown. Cervantes had been virtually unbeatable at 140lbs, post 71, whilst this was Pryor's first fight at the weight. Pryor was very much on top by the fourth...

As for Duran, Pryor/Duran could of only happened in 78/79, when Roberto was at his absolute best, and Pryor was still learning his trade.

As for Duran/Arguello; it was meant to happen in the late 70s, but Arguello blew it when he lost a non title fight to a Journeyman, something prime Duran would never of done.
