Neat, they both looked sloppy in there but hey its amateurs. Weird seeing Hearns at 132 knowing he will be a lit.heavyweight champion.
Well towards the end they looked sloppy but at the beginning Hearns looked like High school version of the Prime Tommy his movement and jab were identical. Pryor always fought kind of wild, just more refined as a pro.
I heard about that. Cause my dad was at a lot of the Olympic and Forum fights back in the 70s when they used to get out of hand. Also have stories of my own even in posh Vegas, when you had two great Mexican warriors like Morales vs Barrera fighthing:yep
I went back about a thousand pages to find something cool like this, just tired of the Pac-Floyd bull**** when we anyone with 1/2 a brain knows they will come to an agreement soon. This thread would probably be more appreciated on the Classic forum though, i keep having to make a comment to bump this up every so often. I also thought the sparring session between a young amatuer by the name of Oscar Delahoya and prime Chavez was a good piece also. that was yesterday i think ill find that and bump it up too.
Yeah Pryor got to him and won fair and square, but if that fight lasted 6 rounds, I think Hearns could of knocked our Pryor.
Hearns would've wasted Pryor at 147. It would've been ugly and brutal. Pryor did a good thing in staying at 140 (where he was kind of small at and could've made LW).
:huh Were we watching the same fight? More like the other way around. However in the pros id take Hearns at 147. As an amatuer Hearns only had 12 kos in like 160 fights.
The toughest little vato too walk this earth. Put it this way he was a Rich mans skilled version of Arturo Gattti. 2x champ BOBBY CHACON.
Thanks for the info. I thought the face looked familiar, but I couldn't put a name to it. I wouldn't have guessed Chacon either, so thanks again for the info.
