    Just because Aaron is a good pressure fighter and does some great inside work, that doesn't mean he'll be enough to beat PBF. PBF is just too classy for Aaron. This fight would be somewhat similar to the Hatton fight without the knockdowns.

    Your right but I give him the edge in this fight based on that special mixed drink he has in his corner:hey

    Pryor is a tough SOB, but his skills were lacking. He'll be easily baited, countered and outboxed by Mayweather Jr.

    This would be a great fight, i'd think pryor would take it, he would be all over mayweather from the get go and while he came in what appeared to be recklessly he use to find nice little angles, he was cleverer than some give him credit for being IMO.

    The fact he would not stop coming and would not give mayweather the time and space he would like and fighting at a tempo he wouldn't enjoy leads me to suspect pryor would win. However floyd would be competitive, he would win rounds with his counter punching which pryor was open to, i just not sure he'd win enough. Pryor UD

    And to those who said mayweather wasn't the same over 135 i've got to disagree, mayweather was at his best at 130 without doubt but i can't see much difference between him at lightweight and light welter, if anything his performances at 140 where better than those at 135 but not against great opposition certainly, i wish he'd stayed there longer and i'd be more than happy if he did come back from retirement if he could still make 140 to fight there. Mayweather is not a great welterweight, he's not big enough and this leads him to be too defence minded and not lets his hands go enough but i honestly believe he could be brilliant at 140 and have a great resume there

    Pryor by KO. Too much pressure for Mayrunner.

    Hawk time for sure.

    Far too aggressive and stout of chin for Floyd. Pryor on points, Floyds defensive skills are awesome.

    He's gonna KO a guy he'll most likely never even hit flush

    Leonard offered Pryor a fight. Pryor just wasn't happy with the money ($500,000).
