    Any weight, any time, Roberto Duran.

    Duran has a much better defense than Pryor and he offense is pretty much on par. This would be a war but really if you've watched them both, there's likely only one winner, that being Duran. He would systematically break the Hawk down with combos to the body and head and eventually the Hawk would be stopped. It would be one hell of a fight. And if you've ever seen Duran he attack is pretty much non stop as well.

    Funny I would say Pryor for the most part fought like Duran did when he beat Buchanan, but the version of Duran who beat De Jesus III was a more refined version and had much better defense.

    Ya that happened a lot, what was it once in over 100 fights and he didn't quite because he was getting the **** kicked out of him, he quite because he was frustrated by SRL's antics, which has zero resemblance to anything close to SRL's fighting style.

    Don't bother. That dude is re****ed. If you've seen his pic, his head is the size of a pea, so no surprise there.

    He is a Quitter. He lost by Quittage. Pryor was an animal with unreal stamina, punch output, and an Iron Chin. He would make Duran look like a joke.

    Duran quit against Leonard because who knows why. He was never hurt in that fight and you had seen it you would know that. Pryor barely beat Gary Hinton and was stopped by Bobby joe young. Duran wasn't stopped by mmh or barkley. You think pryor would have gone the distance with those 2? Quite frankly your status as a chinchecker is seriously in jeopardy

    The only fight Duran lost at under a 140 was against deJesus and he was a helluva fighter.

    I think Pryor would be a tough test but a young Duran at 135 was a monster. He diminished greatly going up in weight in the later stage of his career.

    Very close fight. I lean towards Duran.

    Duran by KO.


    He's no Hearns or Hagler by any stretch of the imagination.

    I think some people on here turn their brains off and just type. When i saw the ko prediction the first thing i thought of was Hagler and Barkley. smdh with some people.
