    Agreed. Pryor had awful defense.

    So 135 lbs Castillo was stronger than 140 lbs of Pryor ? If PBF had problems dealing with the `strength of Castillo. How would he handle the strength, energy and power shots of Pryor ?? Curious ?

    He had problems because he was injured vs Castillo. Castillo was actually bigger than Pryor, too (he was a welterweight on fight nights)

    Castillo gave him a rough time in the rematch also, when Floyd was not injured in the same manner.

    I never said Pryor wouldn't give him a tough fight. I just think he'd lose it. Pryor couldn't slip a punch to save his life.

    It'd be interesting to see Floyd deal with a genuinely dynamic, unpredictable offense. He's near-perfect defensively against much more basic, more textbook oriented guys like Cotto, faded Oscar, Corrales, etc. Pryor's a different kind of offensive force altogether, one Floyd hasn't ever really seen (certainly not at that level, anyway).

    Pryor was certainly hittable though, and a bit small considering he was a fighter who liked to impose himself physically. Still, Pryor could slips shots fine enough when he really got going, was relentless, good speed, good power, etc. He'd cause Mayweather serious issues, not that I would outright pick him or anything.
