    Pryor was more overrated and he's too small for 147.

    Crawford by KO. See Arguello 1 except Crawford is significantly bigger.

    There's no need to create the same question if this already exists, who do you think would win now?

    I would say it worked out well for Pryor though.

    Pryor talked about rejecting the Leonard deal in the post-fight interview of his bout with Lennox Blackmoore, which took place in June 81’.

    He made some more title defenses and ended up getting his million dollar payday not that much later, in November 82’’. In a much more winnable fight against Alexis Arguello at 140 rather than having to move up to a weight he really wasn’t suited in (147) against one of the best fighters we’ve ever seen on film (1979-82 SRL).

    Pryor’s pressure and heart would make this a grueling, fan-friendly fight, but Crawford’s ring IQ, versatility, and precision give him the edge over 12 rounds. Pryor could absolutely hurt Crawford—this is no walkover—but Crawford’s ability to adapt on the fly likely swings the outcome.

    I see Bud catching Pryor with check hooks coming in and countering AP all night.

    Would be a very fun scrap, until Bud takes over and beats him into submission in the later rounds.

    It’s hard for me to pick against Pryor especially with that black bottle.

    Crawford is too big, long, and skilled.
    A better matchup would be
    Crawford vs Winky wright, Mike mccallum, mcclellan, bhop, leonard, hagler, hearns.

    The black bottle would only allow him to take more of a beating. He still wouldn't hit crawford or do **** to wear him down.
