Aaron Pryor vs Meldrick Taylor @140

Who Wins

 

Aaron Pryor wins.

 

Pryor, who probably should have been favored had he fought Hearns or Leonard in the early 80s.

 

The fans win. That fight would be absolutely incredible to watch. That being said, Pryor probably catches Taylor at some point.

 

Hearns and Leonard would have been too big for Pryor at 147 imo.

As for Taylor, Pryor should be favoured to catch up with Taylor near the fights end though obviously it would make a difference if it was 12 rather than 15 rounds.

 

I think its tougher for Pryor than people think. But I can see late late round stoppage by the Hawk.

 

Perfect post! Thank you!

 

Mel puts up a great fight, but at some point gets overwhelmed.

Pryor TKO 10.

 

This is a fight I would pay to see. Pryor outworks Taylor and stops him the later rounds.

 

I see Pryor meeting his match with Meldrick's super velocity compensating for Pryor's unorthodox antics. Arguello was just too slow to keep up. Meldric would have no such problems and would land two or three to each of Pryor's punches.

 

In a 12 rounder, I could see Meldrick winning a nailbiter, but 15, man Aaron would brutally stop Meldrick around 14.

 

Damn, Meldrick was fast and accurate, and punched in bunches. U would think he would beat Pryer, but I'm going with Pryer.

 

I see a war where Pryor's ruthless aggression meets Taylor's Philly warrior spirit. The fans win this fight I see Taylors speed beating Pryor by SD. Pryor does not have Chavez's methodical destructive style of breaking a fighter down he threw alot of punches but his maniacal fighting style against Taylors speed, strength and combos is not a good fight Pryor. Pryor overwhelmed fighters he does not overwhelm Taylor

 

Good call.

 

Rich, arguello and a few other boxers I think might disagrre with u there about Pryers ability to break down a fighter
