Emanuel Steward's wish: Aaron Pryor vs. Manny Pacquiao. Who wins?

:deal Perfect analysis IMO.

This wouldn't be my favourite ever dream hypothetical (for some reason I'm obsessed with Toney 1991 vs Hopkins 2001), but it's right up there. Pryor and Pacquiao, **** what a war!

 

Both would easily beat Chavez by a large margin.

 

Reasonable suspicion for Pryor, to be fair.

 

I dont need official chemical, blood, or urine tests to let me know when someone is cheating.

Only an idiot would say, I need the scientific evidence to prove Pryor was a cheater.
.........there is none, cause the ****er walked out on the doping tests after the fight.


You just use common sense and eye witness accounts on these matters.

Luis Resto saying Panama gave him and other fighters of his liquid concoctions during rounds......he described it as crushed asthma pills that asthmatics use when they cant breathe........
......then he describes Panama taking the paddings off his gloves......and on to plastering his ****ing handwraps for God's sake.....

....then if that was'nt enough, Emmanuel Steward no less descibes Aaron Pryor in indirect words admitting to him he was worried about the Arguello rematch because he and Panama were getting away with things that were not legal.


.........but no, we dont have the scientific evidence, so how dare people like myself point the finger at that ****!:roll:

 

pryor stops manny in a brutal 8 rounds of nonstop action

 

Manny would not be coming forward at ANY instant in this bout.

 

With or with out Panama Lewis in Pryor's corner ??:hey

"Give me the one I mixed"

 

The Hawk would walk through everything PacGwire throws at him. He did it against a much stronger and bigger man in Arguello.

 

I took note of Manny saying that, and that made him sound, not like a commentator, but a true fan. Mentioning his dream fantasy fight. Good stuff, Manny. I can't strongly pick anything but the likelihood of a barn burner. A year ago this fight was proposed on the forums somewhere and I thought, yeah, Pac gets squashed. But, okay, he can take a good shot at the 140-147. But Pryor I think took shots that I can't see Pac taking. Maybe I'm still underrating Pac in H2H matches but the stuff Arguello hit Pryor with (special bottles regardless completely) I cannot see many men taking at 140 or 147...or 154 for that matter. I don't see Pac stopping Aaron in his prime at all. But I can see Aaron stopping Pac. These guys could both out-hustle almost anybody. It really would be a dream fight but I would have to favor Pryor-not the greater fighter by any means, but obviously the far more proven man at 140, where I assume the fight would be. I guess I'll vote Pryor.

 

So basically you're saying there was A-Side Meth in that bottle? :think

 

Good poll. Almost even.

 

Depends if Paccheat is able to bend every rule in boxing to his favour?

I'm sure he'd attempt to make Pryor drain down to 120lbs, throw in a rehydration clause, and insist on one drug test six months before the fight to suit his juicing regimen.

If this is the case, I'll go for Pryor close UD.

Fair playing field, Pryor would crush Paccheat. He's in another league of fighters entirely, he was being overlooked by Leonard FFS. He has a much more evasive come-forward style then any of Pacs previous WW opponents.

Arguello was a counter-puncher and what happened to him? Pryors relentless workrate makes it very difficult for counter-punchers. And Arguello is a far more technically skilled fighter than Pac.

Better question is Pac Vs Antuofermo.

 

I said bottles aside, actually. And A-Side Meth sucks anyway. A-Side Meff is what works.

 

Had to vote for the local guy, Pryor. He was on the phone with my coach today while I was at the gym.

 

If Pryor gets to use his asthma pill concoction I like his chances.
