    Pryor, who I had the pleasure of chatting with at BHOF this year, a warrior for the ages... A perpetual whirlwind of a fighter, who had a great jab and damn good hand and foot speed. I say he has to much of everything for PBF. Pryor ( who makes Pacman look ponderous) had heavy hands as well and could bring it for all 15 if he had to. I think PBF slips, rolls and moves for a few rds, but then he slowly begins to wilt under Pryor steady pressure and high volume of power shots. I don`t see PBF avoiding a late rd KO. Pryor who only loss to the `powder`, was a well rounded champion. Nobody wanted him at 135, so he stepped up and beat a damn good fighter in ` Kid Pambele` for the 140 lbs title. At 140, the `Hawk` was a beast. I don`t see PBF being able to posthsot Pryor off of him, more like just trying to survive.And Pryor`s hand speed was thisclose to PBF. Pryor gets to him late for the TKO...

    Welliver by KO.

    Edit: Sorry, I got confused for a second. Pryor by decision.

    Pryor isn't in Mayweather's class, he'd give him a tough fight but we know he's getting owned in punching accuracy

    Horrible matchup for Floyd. Pryor was no caveman either, he'd get hit but not enough, he'd be all over Floyd and win a competitive but clear decision, Floyd has nothing to hold him off with and Pryor can close the gap well enough.

    Floyd would cry in the locker room after the fight.

    Pryor by decision, Floyd is too defensive and savvy for a stoppage.

    I like Mayweather in this fight. Right hand will land alot and he would win a points decision imo.

    A duck is no match for a hawk.

    Seriously, I'm a bit of a *****, but I don't think Floyd could hold up against such relentless pressure. Pryor by KO.

    Pryor was skilled and not just a wild lunging slugger, a skilled swarmer. I have Mayweather in this one. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. One thing I always say is that guys just wading into Mayweather without skills and a jab are not going to win, definitely. Pryor doesn;t use a jab that much, but he does have skills. Would be a good fight.
