    Can the man who floored Duran twice take out the Hawk?

    No. The Hawk is all wrong for DeJesus. Pryor too strong, too quick, too relentless, and with too much variety for DeJesus.

    Pryor TKO 12.

    I don't pick hardly anyone to beat pryer, but I think Dejesus might beat him

    DeJesus is verging on becoming a bit overrated.

    Can't call this. A true toss up IMO. The only certainty is it would be a fast fight with a lot of leather flying. DeJesus did have a sneaky lefthook counter. As God found out..I mean Duran found out.

    Dejesus wouldn't beat Pryor and i rate Aaron lower than many many people.

    Definitely agree that DeJesus is becoming a bit overrated. I rate Pryor relatively low compared to others, but I don't think he has a shot here. Pryor's relentlessness, output and skills would mean Pryor likely stops him late, and tie that in with Pryor being bigger, quicker, tough enough to not be going anywhere, and having already beaten a LW much better than DeJesus but with a similar boxer-puncher style, and I think it's all Pryor. In 10ish.

    He'd be competitive, sure. But who wasn't with Pryor? It was his style and appeal as a fighter.

    Who would this be? Surely you are not comparing Pryors style to Roberto Duran? Shirley you can disseminate the complete differences between the two? It is like saying Larry Holmes and Rafael Limon were quite the same because each started his attack with a jab. Say it ain't so George? Say it ain't so!!!!!!!

    Duran was better than Pryor and would soundly beat Pryor, but that doesn't translate to "Duran beat DeJesus, therefore DeJesus beats Pryor."

    Pryor late, between 11 and 13 rounds.

    Pryor was basically a lightweight who fought at 140 because he couldn't get a shot at the 135lb title. He's slightly taller than DeJesus the size would be marginal.
