Posters like this dumb down the Classic Forum more every day. You do know Chavez is taller than Pryor, Rodney? And in his prime way more difficult to hurt than Pryor. You probably haven't even seen him fight in his prime. No point in arguing with ignorance.
Seen them both. Pryor beats him easy with out a doubt. Pryor too fast, mush busier, and unorthodox. In his prime -- unbeatable.
I believe Chavez was just a wee bit rugged for Aaron and would have won a decision as he would have worn him down.
Chavez was absolutely solid all around. Pryor's lack of defense and Chavez's precision power punching is the story. It gets worse for Pryor the longer it goes, and it probably goes the distance. Granted, the better version is the 130 lb Chavez, and at 140 he lost that edge. He wasn't as quite as fast, and that could be a factor.
I see Pryor winning this one, unlike Taylor who had faster hands then Pryor, but Pryor hit a hellava lot harder. Also Pryor's foot work was better, and he came at you from weird angles. But the fight itself would've been an absolute war. Now if Panama Lewis and the bottle was in Pryors corner, Pryor probably stops Chavez by tko lol.
